Hey everyone,

Three days left. Nexus: What It Is! closes Thursday, October 1, at 1 PM Arizona time.

You did it! 516 backers, and Ask Steve Anything is unlocked: a live, backers-only stream where Steve answers your questions on camera. Get your questions into the comments now; Tristan is building the list, and the date comes after the campaign closes.

What's next on the ladder? $65,000 puts a die-cut Nexus: What It Is! sticker in every physical box, plus the Vault Drop 5x7 print as an add-on. $3,773 to go. At 600 backers, Steve draws one original piece of art and hides it inside one of the books we send to ComicBooks For Troops, with a handwritten note. Somewhere out there, a service member opens their book and finds a Steve Rude original. 84 backers to go.

A question for the book. How should the interviews read? Vote at the bottom. In the comments: who do you most want to hear from in the book, and what would you ask them? These polls steer the book. Steve and the editor make the final call, but you're in the room.

 Missed Saturday? The replay's up at https://www.youtube.com/steverudethedude, and the crew at https://www.patreon.com/steverude sees everything first.

 Keep Drawing,

 Steve and the Rude Dude Crew
