Quantum Vibe
A thousand years in the future, humanity has colonized worlds in nearly
100 galaxies, thanks to Quantum Vibremonic technologies developed five
centuries earlier. Other new technologies have created various
off-shoots of humanity and extended life expectancies five-fold. The
story begins with how a mad scientist and his plucky assistant, along
with their robot friend, brought humanity to the stars, and continues
with the adventures of some unique people in fantastic places.
Kickstarter successful and closed [ May 19, 2026 ]

Panel 1
Diana and Monty
Diana: Are you serious? Do people here go around shooting each other all the time?
Monty: Quite the contrary. Assaults are rare, murder rarer still.
Monty: No one wants to start a scrap that could get themselves shot or stabbed.
Panel 2
Diana is protesting, while Monty patiently explains.
Diana: That's nuts! What's to stop me from losing my temper and blasting someone?
Monty: I would hope, your sense of self-preservation.
Monty: One person armed in a room full of people is potentially dangerous. But when everyone is armed, they become motivated not to let conflicts turn deadly.
Panel 3
Diana looks dubiously at her hand.
Diana: I guess a 'zringer' is what Alyss wears. But how do I control one?
Monty: You cannot, without an implant.
Monty: However, as with the flyer, there are alternatives available.
