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 ]

(There are still six of you who have not responded to the survey asking for e-mail and snail-mail addresses, he'll do the best he can.)
Panel 1
Establishing shot of the planet Parangaricutiro – a broken-apart world with one-third of its mass being orbital debris. In the middle-ground we see the starship popping into the area.
Hugo (from ship): Ah, Parangaricutiro. So tragically beautiful.
Murphy: Also quite deadly. On the surface as well as in orbit.
Hugo: Well, planetary collisions tend to work out that way.
Panel 2
Cut to the control room. Eithne, Murphy and Hugo in their chairs, looking a bit tense.
Murphy: Not to mention, the perfect place to put this ship's gravity and reaction drives through their paces.
Hugo: If by 'perfect' you mean unforgiving.
Murphy: Don't be a pussy, Hugo.
Panel 3
External view, the ship weaves and dodges its way through the debris-field.
Eithne: Ulp! W-we didn't do this on the last shake-down, Murphy!
Murphy: Last time Hugo was captain. And Eithne, if you don't have the stones for stuff like this, you can stay home when we head into deep space.
