Thunder Road cover

The first issue of THUNDER ROAD, a high-action, wide-sweeping, episodic pulp adventure by writer Sean Demory and illustrator Steven Sanders (Marvel’s S.W.O.R.D. and Image Comics’ Five Fists of Science) hit the iTunes storefront this week, offering the first 99 screens of this dystopic military sci-fi blitzkrieg free for iPhone and iPod Touch.  This marks Thunder Road as the very first comic to be available on the iPhone, Android, and Nintendo DSi simultaneously!
Thunder Road is a comic that was made exclusively for mobiles – there is no adaptation involved in this series.  The free first issue also includes a “world’s first” bonus extra: the very first original mobile comic script.  The script was designed and formatted by Robot Comics for a surprisingly visual and effortless reading experience at the end of each Thunder Road installment.
Big guns, fast cars, tough women and nuclear armageddon. It’s The Road Warrior meets Dr. Strangelove.
Thunder Road was originally published in censored editions only on the iTunes market, but Robot Comics is proud to present for the very first time the uncensored 17+ version of this unique comic experience!

Synopsis

The bomb-ravaged American Heartland has been largely left out of the equation, falling prey to unchecked corporate land-barons and motorcycle-riding, nazidope-smoking MEF veterans ravaging the wastes. Some small towns have become fortresses, while others have followed the Soviet model and taken to the road, with clans roaming from one corp-compound to the next. Route 66, Interstate 70 and a dozen other superhighways have become the new frontier, where fortunes can be made with grit, cunning and a steady hand.

Welcome to the Thunder Road.
