Live Now On Kickstarter — ‘Space Relic Hunters: Smugglers, Rebels, And Sacred Ruins’

Interstellar treasure hunt bursts with explosive adventure, rich character drama, and dazzling visuals as writer Sylvain Runberg and artist Grun return with a new cosmic thrill ride. Magnetic Press has announced a Kickstarter campaign for Space Relic Hunters. Smugglers, Rebels, And Sacred Ruins is a genre-bending, 120-page graphic novel that fuses high-octane sci-fi action with sharp, satirical worldbuilding and a streak of razor-edged wit. 

Two centuries after a cataclysmic interplanetary religious war, the galaxy lies under the iron grip of the “Great Quartet,” four deities who have outlawed all rival beliefs and unleashed the Divine Legions to crush dissent. Yet faith endures. Hidden among the stars, ancient alien religions survive through relics smuggled across star systems — each artifact a key to forgotten power.

Enter Xia, a fearless human relic hunter, and Little Mercur, her masked alien partner with secrets of his own. Alongside Vitellius — a disgraced centurion turned rogue — they navigate the black-market underworld of outlawed artifacts. Their latest mission: retrieve a relic from a hostile planet where danger lurks in every crater and betrayal is only a warp jump away.

Backer rewards clock in at the $12 level for a digital copy of the book. $25 will get backers a hardcover copy. Relic Ritual Kits, audio files, temporary tattoos, “Drop Group” ID coins, and various other rewards are available at higher tiers. Check out the campaign at this link.
