Fans Help Build This Expanding Sci-Fi Universe

Three Worlds / Three Moons started on the internet in 2021. It is a science-fiction world built by many hands. Today, more than 39,000 people follow it on Substack. In May 2022, the total was just under 10,000. About 2,300 of those early followers paid for bonus material. By August 2024, the community passed 30,000 people. This steady rise shows that many readers like watching a universe take shape.

The setting goes beyond a single space trip. It covers Akva, Therra, and Heir, along with three moons. Each area has its own people, money, and laws. Beliefs change from one spot to another. Science and magic rise and fall across repeating eras. That design lets tales unfold across many different time periods.

Several creators built this world together. Jonathan Hickman, Mike del Mundo, Mike Huddleston, and Nick Spencer lead the effort. Other writers and artists also added systems and tales. The goal was to let many voices contribute to one connected universe. It was never meant to be one writer's long-running serial.

Fans get to see how the work happens. The team posts comics, process notes, and talks about design choices online. Readers can learn why a location appears where it does. They can also see how a society's rules shape the stories inside it. Dark Horse plans to release printed books in 2026. Still, the print editions are only one part of the appeal.
