Written by Mike Baron. Art and cover by Steve Rude. Compelled by an alien to seek out and execute mass murderers, Nexus was haunted by dreams of their monstrous crimes. Not even his virtually limitless power, derived from the heart of a star, can resolve his dilemma. How does a decent man force himself to repeatedly confront the basest evil? In moments of reflection, he must admit to himself an unspeakable truth: He likes his job. In this new series, written and illustrated by the Eisner Award-winning writer/artist team of Mike Baron and Steve Rude, Nexus is his own master, freed from the nightmares. But in exchange for that freedom, he has struck a bargain -- he has agreed to seek out and execute mass murderers on his own, at least three a month. When a young girl seeks him out to gain vengeance on the pirates who murdered her family, Nexus undertakes a mission that will force him to confront the stark irony of his terrible choice -- power to do good in exchange for killing. 32 pages, FC. Cover price $2.95.

Written by Mike Baron. Art and cover by Steve Rude. Rupert Munson is a telepath, a serial killer, a psychopathic genius of staggering proportions. Locked away in the Web's most secure prison, he's no longer a threat to society but a rich, haunting ghost story that keeps children awake at night. Or is he... ? The Web, staring down a law suit based on claims of cruel and unusual punishment, is forced to install vid units in each cell. But Munson isn't satisfied with a box that simply receives signals. He's looking to broadcast, and his telepathic programming is less than suitable for any viewers. Alone in his cold, dark cell, armed with only a converted vid unit, Munson is on the loose again, and in a place no one would think to look for him. No one, that is, except Nexus, the most feared executioner in the galaxy. But are even his abilities enough against "The Most Dangerous Man in the Universe?" 32 pages, FC. Cover price $2.95.
