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.

The Frontier Kickstarter ends Friday December 1st.

Protect mankind from demonic forces as well as magic powers in the wrong hands… 

Magnetic Press has brought the occult horror anthology, The Midnight Order, written and illustrated by FNAC and Fauve d’Or Award-winning author Mathieu Bablet to Kickstarter.

Produced by Mathieu Bablet and Studio 619, this premium 272-page graphic novel weaves tales of the worldwide practice of witchcraft, featuring prose articles connecting these fictional events to real-world esotericism by Claire Barbe.

For hundreds of years, those attuned to the powers of magic and supernaturalism have been ostracized and persecuted as “witches” by those who do not understand them or wish to maintain power over them. And yet these individuals continued to practice their knowledge in secrecy to protect themselves and those around them from occult evils that would invade our reality. The most dedicated of these individuals formed THE MIDNIGHT ORDER, an organization that grew through generations into a secret globe-spanning organization of agents who protect humanity from unknown demonic forces that could end the world if left unchecked.

The Midnight Order will be available in trade paperback, premium hardcover, and a deluxe limited-edition slipcase available exclusively through the campaign which features a removable metal coin embedded in the slipcase box, color printed gilding on the page edges of the book, an exclusive etched metal bookmark, and a foil-stamped and numbered bookplate. A limited-edition “Bablet Collection Box Set” (SHANGRI-LA, CARBON & SILICON, and ADRASTEA) will also be available, exclusively produced and sold through the campaign.
