VSS: Nemesis Rising

In the late 2000s, Bluewater Productions launched VSS: Nemesis Rising, a six-issue miniseries that reimagined the classic "villain-as-protagonist" trope through a gritty, modern lens. Written by Robert B. Vroman with art by Diego Simone, the story follows a mysterious, scarred antihero known only as Nemesis, who wages a one-man war against the corrupt power structures of a dystopian near-future. Though brief, the series stands as a notable early example of Bluewater's darker, creator-driven work, offering a tight, self-contained thriller that prioritizes atmosphere and moral ambiguity over superhero spectacle.
