In this volume, the enigmatic executioner meets his match in the evil Clayborn. If that weren't enough, Horatio's uncle, a religious anti-technology zealot, arrives on the moon of Ylum with the mission of destroying the Gravity Well - the same well that Ursula X. X. Imada, spy and mother to Horatio's twin daughters, hopes will soon suck in the 400 billion people of the Web! Uncle Lathe incites a riot and has his eye on a deadly, Head-designed battle cruiser to further his crusade. Judah takes on the task of training Scarlett, Nexus' extremely powerful young daughter, and Dave and Nexus travel to the library at Alexandria... in 47 B.C.!

Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
These 1987 stories see intergalactic executioner Nexus overcome family loyalties to confront his uncle, who leads an antitechnology cult, then journey to the planet Guccis for a gathering of interplanetary assassins; get involved, against his better judgment, in a rebel uprising; and--in his most daring act--defy his ex, Ursula, by sneaking onto her planet to visit his twin daughters. Unfortunately, original Nexus artist Steve Rude disappears after two of the seven issues collected here, and although the various "guest artist" replacements, including a pre-Hellboy Mike Mignola, are game, they only confirm how integral Rude's sleek illustrations are to the series' distinctiveness.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Some new blood on the pencils duty,
By
This review is from: Nexus Archives Volume 5 (v. 5) (Hardcover)
Volume 5 of Nexus Archives has some invited artists to fill in Steve Rude's absence.
Jose Luis Garcia Lopez(awesome) and Mike Mignola take the creative duty on some issues. I hope they are able to publish the enteriry of this great space saga. In my opinion the best space-opera comic book with the permission of Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon. Can't wait for Volume 6 with the return of Steve Rude. By the way, does anyone know if they are going to re-publish The Next Nexus?
