I suppose a Nexus/Hellboy crossover is never gonna happen, huh?

I would totally buy an energy drink called 'phaser juice.' From Nexus #23, "Uncle" Written by Mike Baron, with guest penciller Mike Mignola, and inks by John Nyberg and Rich Burchett. This was from a three-issue stretch of guest artists, where Mignola was followed by Rick Veitch, then Jose Luis Garcia Lopez.

Previously, Horatio's lone surviving relative arrived on Ylum, his crazy Uncle Lathe. And he's not, 'gets drunk at family holidays' crazy, Lathe is an insane Luddite who steals Ylum's newest weapon, to try and destroy the Web's black hole/energy generation project, space station Stacy. And even faced with certain death, Stacy isn't too fond of Nexus, since he killed the station's previous head, General Loomis.

Rude had taken some time off in 1987 to work with Doug Wildey on Johnny Quest, then on his Mister Miracle one-shot. But Baron didn't take the time-off: the regular plotlines continued without waiting.
