Pull Up a Chair in the Nexus Studio
We’re building the next Nexus story as we go—script drafts beside raw inks, rough thumbnails next to early lettering, margin scribbles and indecision included. If you love the messy magic behind a comic as much as the polished end result, you’re home.
What this is
A living, breathing preview of Return to Earth. Pages in motion. False starts. Redraws. The calls that stuck—and the ones we scrapped.
What this isn’t
The finished book. Think of it as your Studio Companion Edition—a collectible keepsake you’ll still want once the final edition lands.
How you can ride along
Live streams most Saturdays at 1:30 PM Arizona time
Deep-dive process posts on Patreon .
Studio Preview Edition on BackerKit—your go-to collection of everything we create before launch
Little Extras We’re Shaping Together
Sticker Unlock — 100 community shares → a Nexus sticker for every early sign-up who backs the campaign
$5 Ornament reservation: a quirky little keepsake for our earliest fans
Thanks for jumping in early.
Your comments, votes, and quiet cheer aren’t just welcome—they decide which extras make the cut. Let’s build this story together.
