Back The Campaign!

It's not too late. Plenty of time to back our campaign. Many perks available including an autographed print copy of Quantum Vibe: This Means War (Part 3).

Campaign ends December 10th. Click on this link or on the picture to back our campaign!

Indiegogo Campaign Has Begun!

Second times a charm. The epic QUANTUM VIBE: This Means War story concludes with Part 3, and we require funds to publish a print volume. To sweeten the pot a bit, a 3 pack of the print and PDF copies of all three parts of the This Means War story is a new perk. The stickers and magnet add-ons for the Project for a Free Cosmos concept (explained in the story) are available. And one final incentive for the first 20 who get there first, an add-on for a Free Cosmos Project coaster (1 per perk).

The campaign starts today, Sunday, November 10th, and will conclude in 31 days.

Marsha: Are you INSANE?

Panel 4
Looking past the angry Marsha at the woman challenging her from the front row.
Marsha: Heavy metals and nuclear radiation are SAFE? Where did you get that claptrap?

Medium close-up on Marsha, looking like a deer caught in the headlights.

Panel 6
Cut to the second balcony, the Old Hobo is leaning over the front railing, shouting toward the stage.
Old Hobo: And what damned business is it of yours what I put in my mouth?
Old Hobo: I don't tell you where to put your mouth, do I?
Panel 7
A bit closer shot of the Old Hobo, now wagging his tongue lasciviously. The people around him are laughing.
