Hey Backers,
You've helped me bring some incredible Nexus stories to life through Kickstarter, and for that, I'm eternally grateful. But the truth is, the traditional comic book world is a tough racket. Deadlines, printing costs, distribution nightmares - it's enough to make a guy want to hang up his drawing gloves.
But I'm not giving up. I'm fired up and ready to take Rude Dude to the next level!
That's why we're launching "Project Phoenix," our brand-new Patreon campaign. It's a way for my most dedicated fans (that's you!) to join forces with me, to support my work directly, and to become part of a creative revolution.
Here's what awaits you inside "Project Phoenix":
Think of Patreon as your secret weapon, your way to fuel the future of Nexus and empower me to create the stories you crave. And don't worry, we'll still be launching epic Kickstarter campaigns for new projects!
This is your chance to be more than just a backer; it's your chance to be a partner, a co-conspirator in keeping the Rude Dude dream alive.
Join "Project Phoenix" today and let's make some comic book history!
Head over to https://www.patreon.com/steverude/ now and check out the tiers. You won't be disappointed!
With heartfelt gratitude,
Steve & Jaynelle Rude
If ordered the 2024 Sketchbook only (not the Battle for Thuneworld) your orders started shipping last week! We should be able to finish those by Tuesday this week!
We are FINALLY finishing up the Battle for Thuneworld issues 4 and 5. They are VERY VERY late, but Steve literally took issue 4 apart and half the book was rewritten. We also let 2 designers go and now I'm doing their jobs as well!
Once we get those to the printer we will have ship and on sale dates!
We are crowdfunding the Collected Edition for Thuneworld July 18 - August 8 as part of Backerkit's COMICtopia! We are pleased to be part of this monumental project!
The Art of Steve Rude 2024 is finally in house and we are getting the bookplates put in and all the books bagged for safe travel to you! We already have all the prints pulled, bagged/boarded and ready to start getting orders out the door!
We have the Phoenix Fan Fusion convention this weekend and plan to start actually shipping orders out next week.
We are holding order for anyone who backed both and received a combined shipping discount on Thuneworld. Those orders will go out late June.
Please reach out with questions and we'll do our best to promptly reply.
Vootie!

We will be receiving the Art of Steve Rude 2024 books from the printer in Canada within the next 2 weeks. Once in house we will begin the process of signing/bagging/boarding then getting the books out to you.
If you also have a Thuneworld order you will be in the 2nd round anticipated to go out early June. After the Art of Steve Rude books, but before the Thuneworld Miniseries Kickstarter.
There are always a few backers who do not complete checkout. There are still FOUR (4) BACKERS who have not completed checkout.
If you have not completed checkout you will have half a dozen emails on Kickstarter, some direct via our gmail and if we have an old address on file we sent you a postcard.
If you contact us after we reshelve them we will do our best to fulfill with original items if still in stock or use best substitues.
