Nexus Omnibus #5

The fifth volume of Dark Horse's Nexus Omnibus series brings together more of Mike Baron and Paul Smith's acclaimed run, with cover art by Steve Rude that captures the series' signature kinetic energy. The cover depicts Nexus in dynamic freefall against a blazing orange sky, surrounded by floating canisters bearing haunting faces — a striking image that speaks to the cosmic stakes and moral weight the series is known for. With Tom Luth's vivid coloring and a collection spanning stories including "Candidates' Debate," this 2014 omnibus is a satisfying deep dive into one of comics' most thoughtful sci-fi universes.
