Is The Pilgrim still being published on ComicMix? It's been about two months since we've seen a new episode. Has it been delayed or is this it's planned schedule? When might we see another episode? Any guesses?
As soon as we can, we promise.
Glad your not a NEXUS reader Russ been over 14 months since the last comic and I'm paying for that !! Maybe I should start moaning at Steve Rude about it ??
Oh, I have been a Nexus reader. I have tons of issues of Nexus going back to it's days at Capital Comics! I just haven't been able to justify buying new comics since getting remarried. I sometimes get a collected TPB or Absolute edition for my birthday, Christmas or Father's Day. I'm not entirely away from buying comics. But I have to say, it's been a long time since I bought the pamphlets regularly. I just can't justify the expense to my family. But oh my, I just found some real deals and steals at on Nexus stuff here! Very tempting.And I certainly understand your frustration, Lord Snooty. I've been waiting for Mike Baron to finish Black Ice, here on ComicMix. Which makes me something of a liar, because I begged for that story to just STOP (the plot had gotten so convoluted and lost). But where Mike chose to STOP was at not so much a cliff hanger as much as just bizarre non sequitor. I was left scratching my head, muttering, "Huh? That CAN'T be the end, can it?" But I've been told that, yes, that's where Mike decided to stop. Oh well. So maybe Mike has just decided to stop Nexus at an awkward moment too!
So maybe Mike has just decided to stop Nexus at an awkward moment too!Well no as its more of wanting for Steve Rude to finsh the artwork for both issues left to do ! Thats my half arsed point sometimes there are reasons why things are late maybe costs or time needed to do them ? but moaning about it does not help anyone !
You are right, moaning doesn't help. I'm just eager to read more of "The Pilgrim" and "The Original Johnson." Or at least get some word on when we might see another episode. Like Tom Petty says, "The waiting is the hardest part."
