SEPT. 16, 2025 (PORTLAND, OR) —Magnetic Press is thrilled to announce the upcoming Kickstarter campaign for SPACE RELIC HUNTERS: SMUGGLERS, REBELS, AND SACRED RUINS, 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.
From the celebrated team behind the international sci-fi hit On Mars, prolific Belgian-born writer Sylvain Runberg (Orbital, Warship Jolly Roger) and artist Grun (Metronom’, L’Oeil du Diable) return with a new cosmic thrill ride—an interstellar treasure hunt bursting with explosive adventure, rich character drama, and the kind of dazzling visuals that have made their work a global standout!
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.
