Nexus is a webcomic hosted on Smack Jeeves about the heroic exploits of magical girl Alita. Having discovered her destiny of fighting evil, Alita has since become something of a local legend, keeping her identity a secret but still loving the attention her heroic persona receives. As she uses her powers to fight crime, more enemies begin to reveal themselves, but she won’t be fighting alone. There are more people called by destiny, waiting to reveal themselves in the battle against evil.
This webcomic contains examples of:
- Bank Robbery: Alita makes her debut effortlessly trouncing bank robbers, ticking off the police, and making headline news all in one fell swoop.
- Blow You Away: Alita’s powers seem to be air-based.
- By the Power of Grayskull!: Discussed by Alita and Terri, but Alita doesn’t actually need a catchphrase to transform.

- Genki Girl: Terri is constantly bubbling over with enthusiasm.
- Instant Runes: Erica’s magic features them.
