On the far side of the Milky Way galaxy, the apathetic alien company, the Nexus Conglomerate, has a corporate stranglehold on the sector. Hosting "product tests" on their gargantuan space station known as the Hypodrome, Nexus found a way to combine entertainment, advertising, and product demonstration at the expense of the testers - gladiator guinea pigs, snatched from under-developed planets to be used as fodder by their various alien handlers. Enter our champion, Frankenaut - A reanimated being with the mind of a beach bum and the grace of a professional wrestler. Frank holds the current survival record of the Nexus product tests, and his massive fan base grows with each hair-raising victory. Join Frank, his cyborg-bestie Bud, and their rigid alien boss BK, as Frank's journey takes him from battling giant alien robots to enduring predatory alien worlds. Frankenaut Volume 1 brings clues to our bodacious hero's past, and sets the stage for the continued adventures of the ghoulish colossus! As the Nexus Conglomerate corporate tagline says, "Purchase, and Prosper.".
