1st printing. Collects Nexus (1981) #1-3.

Written by Mike Baron. Art by Steve Rude. Introduction by Chris Claremont.

On the distant moon of Ylum, an enigmatic man is plagued by nightmares. He is forced to dream of the past. He dreams of real-life butchers and tyrants, and what they have done. And then he finds them, and kills them.

The year is 2841, and this man is Nexus, godlike figure who acts as judge, jury, and executioner for the vile criminals who appear in his dreams. He claims to kill in self-defense, but why? Where do the visions come from, and where did he get his powers? Though a hero to many, does he have any real moral code?

These are but some of the questions that reporter Sundra Peale hopes to have answered.

1st printing. Based on the Story by Francis Ford Coppola. Adaoted by Chris Ryall. Art and cover by Jacob Phillips. In his debut graphic novel, legendary award-winning director Francis Ford Coppola brings Megalopolis to life with an all-new, reimagined story, adapted by Coppola with Chris Ryall and award-wining artist Jacob Phillips. MEGALOPOLIS: AN ORIGINAL GRAPHIC NOVEL is a unique 160-page graphic novel that presents an alternate version of Francis Ford Coppolas visionary film, created and written by Francis Ford Coppola, adapted by Chris Ryall in collaboration with Coppola, and illustrated by Eisner Award–nominated cartoonist Jacob Phillips. The City of New Rome must change, causing conflict between Cesar Catilina, a genius artist who seeks to leap into a utopian, idealistic future, and his opposition, Mayor Franklyn Cicero, who remains committed to a regressive status quo, perpetuating greed, special interests, and partisan warfare. Torn between them is socialite Julia Cicero, the mayors daughter, whose love for Cesar has divided her loyalties, forcing her to discover what she truly believes humanity deserves. This graphic novel is a unique, standalone interpretation of the larger world Coppola created; or as Coppola himself put it, MEGALOPOLIS: AN ORIGINAL GRAPHIC NOVEL is "a sibling of the film, rather than just an echo." Hardcover, 160 pages, full color. Teen+ Cover price $25.99.

david tischman (w)/lee ferguson & ignacio calero(p)/jon holdredge (i) ? THE SCOOP: The hot nationally syndicated TV show becomes a comic! ? THE SET-UP: "It's the story of Adam, a geneticist who breaks from Genomex, a secret government project that secretly tinkered with the DNA of over 1000 women in the 1970's an '80's," explained series writer David Tischman. "The purpose was to help rid the human race of disease and genetic defects, but the unexpected result has been the appearance of unique, mutant powers in the women's offspring. When it becomes clear that the government ? in the form of the Genetic Security Agency (the G.S.A.) and its head, Mason Eckhart want to use the mutants, Adam erases the database of the offspring and goes on the run, dedicated to finding these special kids and helping them escape the government's power. Adam's formed an underground of powered and non-powered individuals to help the Mutants he finds and place them with families across the country, away from the government's grip. Aiding Adam in his fight are four new mutants: Shalimar Fox, a sexy feral woman, Brennan Mulwray, a young man with the power to discharge electricity, Emma Delauro, a woman with empathic powers, which enable her to read and influence the thoughts and emotions of others, and Jesse Kilmartin, who can phase his body from intangible to steel-like density with a thought." ? THE STORY: "Issue #1 of the comic book is a double-sized issue, an origin story of sorts, telling how Adam, and his then mentor, Paul Breedlove, are recruited by the government to run Genomax, and how the initial genetic tinkering occurred," Tischman explained. "The TV series starts with all the characters ? and conflicts ? in place, and we thought it'd be fun to start the comic from the beginning, to give the fans some behind-the-scenes information and insight into Adam and his philosophical nemesis, Eckhart." ? THE FORMAT: This bookshelf one-shot is 48 pages, with ads. Printed on glossy paper. FC, 48pg Cover price $3.50.
