Tom Strong and Nexus



Tom Strong was my favorite among Alan Moore's ABC Comics line, as it was chock full of imagination and nods to great comic adventurers of the pst, so I am glad it has found continued life beyond Moore's departure.  I was worried that when he left, that was the last we would see of hs various ABC creations (although I'm still hoping for the return of Jack B. Quick).  Nexus similarly is a character that just can't be kept down.  He seems to reappear every few years, sometimes switching comic companies. I love that Steve Rude design and it's a good thing to see him in continuing adventures.

  4. If Saveen had hid out in the subterranean reaches of North Am, the Strongs would most likely have had to recruit the help of Magnus the Robot Fighter. Especially if Saveen used 41st-century technology to create an army of killer Pneumen!
