Critically Acclaimed Writer James Roberts Helms the All-New Adventures of Starkid, Launching in August<\/p>\n

Game developer\u00a0CMON<\/strong>\u2019s highly-anticipated tabletop game (and Kickstarter darling)\u00a0Starcadia Quest<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0will come to comics beginning in August, courtesy of\u00a0IDW Publishing<\/strong>. The first-ever expansion of the\u00a0Starcadia<\/em>\u00a0universe, this three-issue miniseries welcomes\u00a0James Roberts<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 the fan-favorite and critically acclaimed writer of\u00a0Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Lost Light<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 to craft a wild new adventure for Starkid and his Freelance Adventuring Crew.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you liked the high drama and deep space nonsense of\u00a0Transformers: Lost Light<\/em>, then\u00a0Starcadia Quest<\/em>\u00a0will be right up your street,\u201d says Roberts. \u201cThere’s lots of world-building, lots of emotion, lots of shocks \u2014 but, ultimately, the story carries itself forward on a wave of old-fashioned heroics. It’s old-school science fiction with a modern twist, a mash-up of classic space opera tropes and gleefully weird twists and turns. Most of all, it’s fun!\u201d<\/p>\n

Illustrated by\u00a0Aurelio Mazzara<\/strong>\u00a0(Skylanders<\/em>) and colored by\u00a0David Garc\u00eda Cruz<\/strong>,\u00a0Starcadia Quest<\/em>takes comic readers and game fans deep into the Frontier, where the toughest jobs in the galaxy are handled by Freelance Adventuring Crews. On his sixteenth birthday, the delivery boy known as Starkid sends out a call for the best recruits he can get… at his local Stardollars coffee shop. An action-packed and hilarious QWST begins!<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve fallen in love with\u00a0Starcadia Quest<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 its incredible character design, the homages to science fiction movies and anime, the awesome characterization of the cast,\u201d says Mazzara. \u201cI\u2019ve been giving it my very best to put all that detail onto the page. I\u2019m incredibly happy to be part of this and can\u2019t wait to see what people think!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cStarcadia Quest manages to be thoughtful of its place in science fiction \u2014 acknowledging the stories and tropes that have come before \u2014\u00a0 while also keeping a unique look and a laugh out-loud humor that sets it apart from any other all-ages book today,\u201d says editor\u00a0David Mariotte<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As a special bonus, each issue of\u00a0Starcadia Quest<\/em>\u00a0will be jam-packed with additional pages\u2019 worth of exclusive playable content, allowing readers to incorporate the issue\u2019s story elements into their tabletop gameplay!<\/p>\n
