Nexus

In the mid-1990s, Dark Horse revived Mike Baron and Steve Rude's signature creation for a 10-issue run that continued the saga of Horatio Hellpop, a cosmic avenger who dispenses lethal justice to mass murderers. This series deepens the philosophical tension between Nexus's godlike powers and his human vulnerabilities, with Rude's iconic, fluid linework bringing a classic, character-driven sci-fi feel to Baron's morally complex scripts. A key chapter for fans of the duo's celebrated independent work, it stands as a thoughtful, visually striking exploration of heroism and consequence.
