Everybody's favorite executioner is back in an all-new four-part series, Nexus: Nightmare in Blue. And this time, the readers choose whom Nexus will send to the big sleep! The Eisner Award-winning team of Mike Baron and Steve Rude bring you this exciting new tale, the outcome of which will be decided by audience participation!

Five killers roam the galaxy, each deserving of Nexus' vengeance. Without his benefactor, the Merk, to guide him, Nexus turns to the people of Ylum - and to the readers - to choose his next target. In the concluding story of this four-issue series, Nexus will battle the killer the readers have chosen! Rude returns to the art style that launched Nexus fifteen years ago - dramatic, stark black and white!

"The return to black and white will alter the appearance of the book enough to bring a fresh perspective to new, curious readers, as well as those who have followed Nexus since it's original black-and-white days in 1981," said artist Steve "the Dude" Rude. "Those who have known Nexus only as a color book will hopefully gain a new appreciation for the art, as Baron and I set out on our latest experimental move to interest people in our comic."

Nexus: Nightmare in Blue #1 is the first chapter of this four-issue extravaganza, and features a painted cover by Rude. It ships June 27, at a retail price of $2.95.
