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
Inside the capsule, inside the lava tube. Everything is black but through the magic of cartoon-stage lighting we can see Babbette and Reggie, shaded. Both of them are getting shaken in their seats. Reggie is still hanging onto the safety bar for dear life, and now even Babbette looks uncomfortable.
Caption: Inside the dark lava tube, without visual cues, every bump or swerve came as a complete – and frightening – surprise.
Caption: Even Babbette was muted.

Panel 2
The capsule and track emerge from the canyon wall and begin to curve straight downward again.
Caption: At last, the capsule burst into sunlight and immediately plunged downward again.

Panel 3
Inside the capsule, everyone looks startled except Babbette, who is laughing maniacally. Reggie turns his head a bit to glance sideways at Babbette with an expression of amazement.
Babbette: WHEEEEE!!!

Panel 4
A large panel, the track loops and weaves wildly around a series of outcroppings, depressions and spires, progressing generally downward. The capsules zoom by at some point close to the viewer.
Caption: The capsule began dodging and weaving impossibly close to a series of outcroppings, depressions and tall spires.
Caption: As it neared the valley floor it entered speed-killing loops and hills.

Panel 5
On the canyon floor, the capsules come to a stop on a slight upward grade, next to a 3-meter-tall spire festooned with 5 pairs of lights (currently darkened) running along the sides.

Caption: Finally, the capsule rolled to a gentle stop.

Panel 6
Inside the capsule, Reggie looks quizzically at Babbette, who just grins and looks straight ahead expectantly.
Babbette: Wait for it.
