Download Nexus v2 #7
Despite Eagle Award nominations and widespread popularity, Nexus and Badger were thrust into limbo with the demise of Capital Comics. However, and beginning with this issue, they got a second chance at First. One of the most distinctive things about the Capital titles (and, ironically, one of the major factors in their demise) was their scrupulous, extremely high production values. Those of us paying attention to First's negotiations (via fanzines) for the defunct Capital titles worried that when they finally appeared, they might be scaled down to the less costly production values of their normal titles, but those fears proved to be groundless as First continued the titles in the same deluxe, photo-separated format.
As for the actual contents, the sparkling dialogue between Nexus, Badger and Judah alone makes this a joy to read, but beyond that we are treated to Badger explaining to Nexus and Co. that he was accidentally sent to his current locale by Ham the Weather Wizard. They travel across the planet together until they reach Tech City, where they trade for a spaceship. However, they don't get too far without some ups and downs along the way.
