Big news from Dark Horse that will be filed under “Things I Never Thought I Would See Again.” The return of Nexus. The epic comic that began in 1981 and has seen various publishers over the years lands again at Dark Horse. I can’t say I’ve been with them from the beginning. I believe my first run-in with Nexus was when it was published by First Comics and I can say that I was hooked. Unfortunatly I only read a handful of the issues because at the time I was introduced to the title it was widley popular and then just kinda vanished and would re-appear to me years later, when the stories and artwork had an even bigger impact on me, only to have it vanish again. Now that it’s at Dark Horse fans of Nexus including myself are expecting big things.
The fan-favorite title returns with its team of creators, Mike Baron (The Badger)and Steve Rude (The Moth), in their respective positions of writer and artist! Baron and Rude created Nexus in 1981 and have been continuing their canonical tale for thirty years. The Eisner Award winners willcraft a brand-new three-part story for readers eager to quench their thirst for what’s next to come in the Nexusverse.
“The new stories crush anvils,” says Mike Baron.
“Nexus has never been a stranger to different publishers. Last seen under the Rude Dude banner in 2009, Nexus has stayed in limbo, never quite knowing when to return, or if he ever would return. Things come together in strange ways. With the backing of Mike Richardson of Dark Horse Comics, Nexus will return to comics,” Steve Rude said. “We especially look forward to the response of Nexus’s devoted fans, and thank them for the wonderful support and encouragement they’ve given us since the book’s debut in 1981!”
Dark Horse Presents #12 is on sale May 2012.
