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
Scene in Pilgrim's bedroom, he's been sleeping but is jolted away by the sound of an alarm klaxon.
SFX: BWAAAARK!! BWAAAARK!! BWAAAARK!!

Panel 2
Pilgrim is hurriedly dressing. On his nightstand is something that looks like a clock radio, from which the announcement is heard.
Announcer: Radiation Alert! A breach in Vesta Power's reactor has been detected.
Announcer: Proceed immediately to your Assembly zone and await further information and instructions.

Panel 3
Dozens of the Mascons are standing in a room under a sign reading "Assembly Zone 3". We can see Pilgrim and Marsha.
Mascon 1: Well, that cuts it.
Mascon 2: These private companies are going to kill us all if we don't take action.
Panel 4
Close-up on Pilgrim, looking very distressed. Leave room for his thought balloons.
Pilgrim (thought): In my childhood, I'd have agreed with him.
Pilgrim (thought): In my Objectivist days, I'd agree governments are necessary for some functions.
Pilgrim (thought): My an-cap side says no, but could dealing with something endangering an entire community, really be left to the free market?
