Nexus

In the late 2000s, Mike Baron and Steve Rude returned to Rude Dude Productions for a compact three-issue run of their celebrated creator-owned series Nexus. Picking up the saga of the cosmic judge Horatio Hellpop, these issues continued the blend of psychological depth, space opera, and sharp social commentary that defined the character's legacy. While brief, this arc stands as a focused, late-era chapter from the original creative team, reaffirming the series' place as a landmark of independent comics.
