This is a crime novel as well as science fiction. Readers will be shocked at revelations regarding Nexus’ and Sundra’s son Harry. MB: This was an opportunity to shine the spotlight on all the ancillary characters, from Sundra to Vooper. Scoop: For fans of the comic, what will be different and what will be similar to what we’ve experienced before? As always, my goal is to grab the reader by the throat. There’s so much more you can do in a novel. I wanted to do Nexus in-depth, to bring his world alive using only words, like the science fiction writers I admire, such as Phillip Jose Farmer and Kevin J. However, the version Dude wrote, which will appear next year, did not reflect my scripts. Dude and I discussed this premise for years. Mike Baron : I don’t choose my stories, my stories choose me. Scoop: After well over a hundred issues, as well as ancillary spinoffs, one-shots, and crossovers in comic book form, what made you want to turn Nexus into a novel? Scoop talked with Baron about the Nexus novel. Happily for Nexus fans, the project soared past the 50% funded level in just first few hours of the 30-day campaign.
This includes a new novel that Baron has just launched on Kickstarter. With a new collection pending from Dark Horse, both Baron and Rude are also working on separate Nexus projects.
Over its publishing history, Nexus spawned a number of spinoffs and crossed over with Baron’s Badger, Magnus Robot Fighter, Madman, and an array of properties also published at the time by First Comics.
During its heyday, it won six Eisner Awards and tons of critical acclaim. After three issues, the series switched to a standard color comic book format a ran for more than 100 issues from Capital, First Comics, Dark Horse Comics, and Rude’s own Rude Dude Productions. Writer Mike Baron and artist Steve Rude’s Nexus debuted in 1981 from Capital Comics as a black and white magazine.
