Unlikely Aliens was not one of the most acclaimed or awarded series of the 1994-1995 period it came out, mainly because that period was just so dense with good LNH writing, holy crap. But its influence trickled down thru later writers. The portrayal of Manga Man in the Crimes of the Brotherhood crossover inspired Drew Nilium's revamp of the character in the Just Imagine cycle. It was also a loose conceptual inspiration for Post-Metal Doomcore.
