Jaime Buckley, creator of WANTED:HERO comics introduces The Nethinim Brotherhood. In the creation of WANTED:HERO, I saw a rapid decline of the male role in our societyâalmost to the point of extinction. Nothing left as a role model for the youth of tomorrow to see, to emulate or to gauge their own progress with. In the story, we have the hero, Wendell P. Dipmierâyet this character was to go through personal development, to show youth that they can change and come to realize their potential. I wanted to have more than a single example. A âgroupâ that would be everything a man could be: honorable, courageous, strong, standing firm on principleâand dishing out some poetic justice when it was called for. Hence, the Nethinim were born. A group of men, from all walks of life, with various abilities, bound together by a covenant of honor. Men who fought for what this world of our once wasâsomething good, something safe.
