Nexus Omnibus #6

Mike Baron and Steve Rude's celebrated sci-fi series gets the deluxe archival treatment in this sixth Dark Horse omnibus, collecting another rich stretch of Nexus adventures. Steve Rude's cover artwork frames the action through a circular vignette set against a bold purple X-design, depicting the blue-suited Nexus in fierce physical combat with a grey-skinned humanoid opponent amid a chaotic, debris-strewn environment. It's a handsome volume that showcases why this series earned its devoted following, with Baron's storytelling brought to life by interior art from Hugh Haynes, inked by Arne Starr, and colored by Les Dorscheid.
