The nowadays commonplace subjects like Euthinasia, and the aftermath of the Vietnam war were not talked about too much in the mid eighties in comics. Roger Mc Kenzie and Vince Argondezzi brought the eclectic Next Man to the independent comics realm in the those heady days, and in doing so, opened up the subject matter to these and many other issues, in quite a dramatic fashion.

Mercy killing, cancer, government corruption and excess were brought to the forefront in this series; It's where the award winning writer, Mc Kenzie, of the Hulk, Captain America and Ghost Writer, and cartoonist/commercial artist/ illustrator Argondezzi, who would later go on to lend his skills to the majors also, brought about a cacophony of racing motorcycles, government agents,computers, and secret projects into a thoughtful and introspective romp into the unknown.

The ever curious floating computer known as Cubit quiries David Boyd's boyhood friend , Boone, dying of Dioxn poison from his experiences in Vietnam…

“Does death hurt, Boonie?”
“No”, answers Boone, hacking away…”But dying does..”

Moments like this were abundant thru the series. At times tense and exciting, at times subdued and thoughtful, Mc Kenzie lays down the same enjoyable weave which readers of Daredevil and Elektra came to love. Argondezzi's pencils and art direction contributed to the rigorous creative pace, structurally and also cosmetically pointing the book in an almost avant garde direction, forcing superb inks from other young craftmen such as Bill Anderson, Jerry Ordway, and others.

After five color issues and a Black and White edition in the nineties from Comico and Comic Company A , the series has yet to be concluded… Now the original series is available online!! Tune in at http://www.wowio.com/ users/product.asp? BookId=6723
