The Cosmic Canon, our miniseries on space-faring epics, concludes with a look at Mike Baron and Steve Rude's Nexus, as seen in Nexus. Vol. 2, issues #13-16 and 18-19, published by First Comics!

In the 25th century, Horatio Hellpop dreams of mass murderers, and is compelled to hunt those killers across the galaxy and kill them. When his efforts to free himself of this mission are thwarted, he winds up face to face with the bizarre alien entity behind his incredible powers!

Can his best friends and his erstwhile lover prevail against a four-armed assassin and one of the galaxy's most formidable spymasters in a desperate effort to save Horatio's soul? And can this richly imagined and beautifully rendered saga cross the threshold into that space odyssey known as ... The Comics Canon?
