Space Bastards Volume 1 -- the first volume of a new sci-fi action hardcover created by Eric Peterson, Joe Aubrey, and Darick Robertson is now available for preorder on Kickstarter and will be available later this week at San Diego Comic Con (Booth 1806).  The hardcover is a huge, 120+ page tome containing several stories fully illustrated by Darick Robertson (Transmetropolitan, The Boys, Happy!), Simon Bisley (Lobo, Slaine), and Gabo (The Life After) with exterior covers by Boo Cook (Elephantmen).  All of the material  in the book is "in-universe" and interrelated.  Subsequent volumes will have artwork by Colin MacNeil (Judge Dredd, America), Clint Langley (ABC Warriors, 2000AD), Glenn Fabry (Preacher), and many others.





What is Space Bastards all about?

In the future, mankind has colonized the cosmos. Unemployment is sky high, and basic services are unreliable. The Intergalactic Postal Service (IPS) offers the best paying, yet deadliest jobs in the universe. The IPS operates like a cutthroat version of Uber. People and goods are delivered by Postal Carriers who are encouraged to maim and kill one another and steal deliveries. The courier that completes the delivery gets paid. The others, if they survive, get nothing.



The ensemble cast features an unemployed accountant, a death row inmate, a divorced real estate agent, an alien immigrant, a raging alcoholic, a retired privateer, a former executive assistant, and many others in their new lives delivering packages for the IPS. Under the volatile leadership of Postmaster General Roy Sharpton, these Space Bastards are at each other’s throats trying to settle scores and earn big money. But when a rival corporation's technology threatens their way of life, the Postal Carriers must work together to preserve a job they've come to love.



You can get a copy of this book at SDCC Booth 1806 or online right now at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/roysharpton/space-bastards-volume-1-hardcover/

Thanks for sharing, this one slipped by me.
Group question - Do you prefer Kickstarter or I lndiegogo for comic crowdfunding? I’ve only used Indie for 1 and KS for literally hundreds.
