Crowdfunding Corner: Frontier explores mankind’s foray into colonizing space
Backer Beware: Crowdfunding projects are not guaranteed to be delivered and/or delivered when promised. We always recommend to do your research before backing.
Now live on Kickstarter, graphic novel publisher Magnetic Press has launched the sci-fi adventure, Frontier! From celebrated author and designer Guillaume Singelin—best known for his distinct blend of cartoon-ish, manga-styled characters in gritty, detailed environments—this premium 200-page graphic novel is produced by Studio 619 and is the creator’s most ambitious project to date.
After 10 years designing and developing the next generation of exo-archaeological probes, scientist Ji-Soo is sidelined from her own project in a buyout by megacorp Energy Solution. Her attitude earns her a string of reassignments that ultimately land her on the Rock Breaker, an asteroid mining colony in orbit around Vespa. There, her first time in space, she discovers just how complex life beyond Earth can be.
Frontier is available in three physical formats: a trade paperback edition that will be available in retail stores next year, a premium hardcover edition that will only be available through the campaign and from Magnetic directly, and a deluxe limited-edition slipcase bundle. The bundle will include a numbered bookplate signed by the author, an etched metal “traveler ticket” bookmark, an exclusive 75mm 3D-printed statuette of one of the characters, and a 2” metal currency token. Only 250 bundles will be made available during the campaign.
