About the series
In the mid-1980s, Comico introduced Next Man, a five-issue series from writer Roger McKenzie and artist Vince Argondezzi that reimagined the superhero as a gritty, government-engineered weapon. This short but punchy run follows a cybernetically enhanced soldier struggling with his own humanity in a world of espionage and high-tech warfare. McKenzie and Argondezzi’s collaboration delivers a tense, action-driven story that stands out for its dark, grounded take on the genre.
