The Next Nexus

(First, 1989)
™ and ©1989 First Comics, Inc.

Back in Nexus (Vol. 2) #25, Nexus (Horatio Hellpop) assassinated General Loomis, architect of the Gravity Well. Afterward, Horatio had grown tired of this killing and had abdicated the role and powers of Nexus. At the same time, Loomis’ three daughters, Stacy, Lonnie, and Michana had sworn vengeance for their father’s murder. Using Michana’s mental powers, they located the Merk, the being who gave Nexus his powers (and ironically, ordered him to kill people in the name of “justice”). In return for the power to avenge their father, they agreed to become the next Nexus.

The three daughters had to agree to kill four people the Merk believed to be heinous murderers. Immediately the middle daughter, Lonnie, expressed doubts. Other questions arose when they learned the murderers included kindly doctors practicing euthanasia. Would they back down, or would the quest for vengeance overcome all?
