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 ]

Hugo: Unless you think they'll tell us where Eithne is being held if we just ask them nicely.
Panel 5
Murphy has stood up, and is re-projecting her holographic clothing. Hugo is sitting up in the bed.
Murphy: I … I'm not sure how this squares with our ethics, Hugo.
Murphy: Granted, the Community is predatory, but is every individual member at fault?
Hugo: I don't think that's a real concern here.
Panel 6
Murphy turns to face Hugo, who is now standing and projecting holo-clothing.

Hugo: Because I have pierced the veil, revealing 'the man behind the curtain.'
Murphy: Veil? Curtain? What man?
Hugo: Let me explain …
