Mike Baron:
“Kelsey Shannon's art is instantly identifiable through his mastery of design, color, and composition, reminiscent of Alex Toth, Darwyn Cook, and Dave Stevens. Kelsey is very much in demand. I was lucky to snag him for this project and delighted with his enthusiasm for Nexus."

Kelsey Shannon:
“For many comic artists, the dream is to one day draw Spider-Man or Batman, but for me it was Nexus. It is an honor and privilege to contribute to the legacy of this amazing character along with the creator himself, Mr. Mike Baron, who's imagination never leaves me wanting for creative ideas"
