Think of the protagonist's name as a phonetic version of "vexed"...
...and the character himself as a "trapped on Earth"
parody of Neil Gaiman's Sandman, and you have the concept behind the series!

Written and laid-out by Keith Giffen, penciled by Mike McKone, and inked by Mark McKenna, this never-reprinted story from DC's Vext #3 (1999) was a showcase for the snarky, in-joke-infused humor Giffen is notorious for!
Despite being incorporated into the mainstream DC universe from his first issue (which guest-starred Superman), and promoted in the DCU Heroes Secret Files and Origins one-shot, the book didn't sell well despite writer-artist Giffen's popularity with the comics audience!
The 6-issue mini-series was one of the few to not be reprinted as a trade paperback!
