Why Sci-Fi Readers Are Hooked With This Indie Comic Series
Calling All Fans Of Classic Sci-fi Adventure!
When the fate of the galaxy is on the line, how do you decide who lives and who dies?
Early inspired by the visual brilliance of Hanna-Barbera’s Space Ghost and Jonny Quest, as well as the expansive storytelling of Star Trek, Nexus is returning with its latest 2024 graphic novel edition of Volume 2, The Battle for Thuneworld!
In the aftermath of narrowly defeating the monstrous Gourmando, Horatio Hellpop, the last defender known as Nexus, leads the reconstruction of his devastated planet Ylum. However, challenges arise from a missing friend, a skeptical Earth journalist, and a mysterious crash landing on Ylum. As Nexus delves deeper, a rescue mission leads him and a recovered friend back to Thune to confront the true villain behind the planet's suffering.
The series concludes with a thrilling climax as Nexus faces off against this monstrous being. Steve Rude revives Nexus in a new comic strip format, as he takes on the roles of writer, penciller, letterer, inker, and cover artist.
"Thuneworld is my first official outing as a solo writer/ artist. Most of you know that I’ve been drawing comics since 1980, but writing is still new to me. So having been known far more as artist than writer, this new venture into the unknown really had to count." -Steve Rude
