Nexus: The Origin

In 2007, Rude Dude Productions released this single-issue special, written by Mike Baron and illustrated by Steve Rude, offering a definitive, self-contained retelling of the origin of their iconic space-faring vigilante, Nexus. It distills the core tragedy and motivation of the character into a focused, standalone story, making it an ideal entry point for new readers. This issue serves as both a concise refresher for longtime fans and a testament to the enduring creative partnership between Baron and Rude.
