Baron's work on Nexus

Do we have a source for this? "Baron's work on Nexus responded to the world he was writing in; armor merchants overwhelm media channels with advertising. A great library, perhaps presaging Internet, controls the universe's memory of history" It seems POV unless it was a quote from Baron. Morphh 19:08, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Plexus

Not having read Executioner's Song, I must ask if Plexus was explicitly identified as "African-American" in the comic. I think it would be a bit odd, given that the USA is not a nation in the 25th century. - Frankie

Good point :-)... I have the comic at home and I'll try to take a look. However, fiction is written in an Out-of-Universe fashion so I think it is fine to say he is African-American, however, the sentence should be rewritten as Out-of-Universe - "Plexus was illustrated as an African-American anti-Nexus character..."

Good point indeed... It is the trouble I have with the term African-American. When making historical or future references, an ethnocentric tendency is to use "African-American" even when there is no America or the black person has no relation to America--like Nelson Mandela or an Australian Aborigine (if that term is still used in Australia). I am a black American, and I don't like being called African-American. A friend once had a laugh in an art history class when a fellow student asked why Renaissance artist Giotto used an African-American in one of his paintings. I think it will create confusion for historians when people of this age automatically say African-American when they just mean a person who seems to be descended from dark-skinned Africans.

Nexus bibliography and numbering

This article could use a chronological listing of Nexus series. Additionally, when the series resumes shortly the numbering will begin with issue #99. Can anyone supply a listing of which mini series issues correspond to which issues? Were these issues given whole numbers inside? Nyutko 22:52, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

some were later on. They apparently retroactively assigned numbers to the earlier series. These are them: Nexus: Origin (#81); Alien Justice #1-3 (#82-84); Wages of Sin #1-4 (#85-88); Executioner's Song #1-4 (#89-92); GodCon #1, 2 (#93-94); Nightmare in Blue #1-4 (#95-98). I don't think they started dual numbers until Exectioner's Song. --Emb021 15:16, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Publication history is missing a lot

Reading this article, you would never guess that almost half the original Nexus series was drawn by someone other than Steve Rude.

Because it's not relevant. Steve Rude created the characters, and gave the series its look and feel. Other artists who worked on the series replicated that style. The series has an excellent stylistic continuity and there's no need to list every artist who worked on it. For that matter, Stefan Petrucha wrote the The Liberator series, but nobody mentioned that either and it doesn't seem to bother you. 64.222.94.132 (talk) 16:02, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Copyedited and added references

Coming over here from the Guild of Copy Editors. I went through and copyedited the whole article. I also added two new references, fixing the citation on the animated series and adding a reference for the reissue in Dark Horse Presents. PaintedCarpet (talk) 16:55, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Excessive material

User:CPM006, you might consider moving that material over to Wikia. This should be an encyclopedic article with verified secondary material about the subject, not an exhaustive list of characters and all their twists and turns (and much of this fell foul of WP:OR as well). See, for instance, MOS:PLOT--but it's really common sense. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 21:09, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

Odd that superpowers/ abilities aren't listed at all. Also, no mention of his space cruiser.152.131.10.70 (talk) 20:45, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
