The following new Nexus collection and Nexus comics have just been announced from RudeDude Productions. Steve Rude and his wife, Jaynelle, founded Rude Dude Productions, LLC in 2006 to revive his award-winning character, Nexus, and continue his new series, The Moth. These are available through Diamond Comic Distributors, along with our very own Steve Rude: Artist in Motion book.
PEORIA, ARIZONA- April 9, 2009 – Rude Dude Productions announced today that Nexus As it Happened V1 is now available for presale through Diamond. Though the company started off rocky with late and cancelled titles, their new policy of having books completed before they are solicited is guaranteed to get books out on time or early and is sure to please retailers and fans alike.
Nexus: As it Happened Volume 1 is a reprint of the Nexus Archives currently on sale through Dark Horse comics in an affordable black and white paperback version.
On the distant moon of Ylum, an enigmatic man is plagued by nightmares. He is forced to dream of the past. He dreams of real-life butchers and tyrants, and what they have done.
And then he finds them, and kills them.
The year is 2841, and this man is Nexus, a godlike figure who acts as judge, jury, and executioner for the vile criminals who appear in his dreams. He claims to kill in self-defense, but why? Where do the visions come from, and where did he get his powers? Though a hero to many, does he have any real moral code? These are but some of the questions that reporter Sundra Peale hopes to have answered. Collecting Nexus #1-3 (Vol. 1., black and white) and Nexus #1-4 (Vol. 2, full color), from Capital Comics.
A multiple Eisner Award-winning series that defined the careers of acclaimed creators Steve Rude and Mike Baron, Nexus is a modern classic not to be missed!
