Created during the '80s indie comics boom that gave us TMNT and American Flagg!, the Nexus comics also owe a deep debt to Toth's clean linework and energetic storytelling. (Steve "The Dude" Rude is the closest thing we have to Toth these days.) Rude has so far been unable to sell Nexus as an animated series, which is a real shame. Outside of The Venture Bros, there is very little quality action animation on TV these days. And memo to Hollywood: The spacefaring adventures of Horatio Hellpop (is there a better name in comics?) could be your next hit sci-fi film franchise.
