I'm just flipping through this to get a gist of what happens. Nexus without Steve Rude or #2 Nexus artist Paul Smith just doesn't feel right. I was warned of the dropoff in art quality but I did not heed that warning nor guess the magnitude of the dropoff.

The story is still good, but most of the art falls far short of the standard Steve Rude set for this series.

The new Nexus arc comes to a climax as Stan’s descent into madness comes into the limelight and Horatio is once again powered by the Merk. One of the most satisfying Nexus tales built up by years of storytelling, there are a few oddly paced issues, but ultimately this will appeal to longtime readers as a payoff to brewing storyline’s.
Hugh Haynes’ art starts off shaky in this, but comes full circle by the end with lush detail and setting work. I especially love the detail of the Merck’s cosmology room, as it feels and looks perfectly in line with the entity’s alien sense of right and justice. The Hammer backups have more inconsistent art, but Steve Epting comes in at the end with fluid character work and smooth sequential action.
