Nexus Omnibus

Collecting the early-1980s run of the seminal independent series, this Dark Horse omnibus reprints the first eight issues of Nexus, the acclaimed sci-fi saga co-created by writer Mike Baron and artist Steve Rude. Set in a far-future galaxy, it follows Horatio Hellpop, a man burdened with the power to execute mass murderers in their sleep, as he grapples with the moral weight of his cosmic mandate. With lush, expressive art from Rude and contributions from Paul Smith and Hugh Haynes, this volume captures the gritty, philosophical tone that made Nexus a landmark of creator-owned comics.
