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.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Outside the closed door to Wally's room, his parents, Gus and Mary-Francis Cooper, confer about their son. Looks-wise, Wally definitely takes more after his mother than his father. They both look worried, tense.
Mary-Francis: He's been in there almost 20 centimes without even a bathroom break.
Gus: I wonder if he keeps a bucket in there.

Panel 2
Mary-Francis and Gus.
Mary-Francis: This is serious! He's always been sort of – obsessive – since his friend Billy was killed.
Gus: It's been almost a Martian year – you'd think he'd be over that by now.

Panel 3
Mary-Francis looks away from Gus, a bit annoyed by his insensitivity but not protesting.
Mary-Francis: Did you talk to him about getting a job?
Gus: I did, three days ago.

Panel 4
Mary-Francis and Gus.
Mary-Francis: And –?
Gus: He said, 'Job? What's a job compared to a calling?'
