Nexus: The Story of Thuneworld So Far...

With the Backerkit campaign for The Battle For Thuneworld Studio Edition experiencing great success, we want to bring you into Steve Rude’s masterful story.

See what you and all new readers are getting into with the Dude’s first ever solo Nexus story!

The Battle For Thuneworld opens in the apocalyptic aftermath left by Gourmando, the planet-devouring entity that laid cosmic waste and death across the sanctuary planet Ylum. Nexus, being Ylum’s guardian, prevailed against the giant adversary, but at great cost, further exacerbated by the wrecked arrival of his best friend Dave!

The wise, elder Thune was caught up in Gourmando’s destruction, and must be rushed to the hospital or else face the eternal end. Not only is the hero’s closest confidante infirm, but Dave’s son the mighty warrior Judah is missing too. 

With two close compatriots so broken from a vacation to their home planet, Nexus travels to Thuneworld to uncover the new regime holding the land and battle a long-lost enemy…

Will Nexus succeed in freeing Thuneworld? What will he lose fighting for justice? What of his wife Sundra and son Harry, buckling under the pressure of such epic conflicts? 

Find out on the biggest pages possible in the Battle For Thuneworld Studio Edition, hardcover-bound and presented with the cleanest details possible.
