THE STORY SO FAR...
Part 1 After Alicia Carter, a lively and sly space thief, crash-lands on Junk World where she encounters an industrial work robot named GDU-3, they play a dangerous game of cat and mouse with Klaven Skulvek and his team of mercenary bounty hunters. With some cunning and good luck, however, Alicia & Robot manage to escape. But the hunt is just beginning!
Part 2 Unfortunately, their relief is short-lived as their commandeered ship soon becomes infested with alien parasites. Luckily, Alicia and Robot manage to prevent the parasites from destroying the ship that they conveniently stole. Their troubles only continue to compound though, when Captain Condrad Belmonte of the United Space Force Alliance jumps into the system with his Imperial Cruiser and captures Alicia and Robot.
Part 3 Adding to their misfortune, Klaven and his team escape Junk World and resume their pursuit of her and GDU-3. Imprisoned aboard Belmonte's ship, Alicia runs into an old acquaintance and her genetically enhanced pet tiger. Now, more than ever Alicia must make a daring escape lest half the galaxy try to turn her in and collect on her notorious bounty.

All shipping fees will be charged separately, AFTER the campaign, during pledge management.
The prices below are estimates. Actual shipping prices will be determined after production is finished and we're gearing up to send out the books. Also, if you add-on additional physical copies of the game to your order, your shipping cost may increase.
Since Tristan Vick handles all his own projects -- e.g., creating the stories & scripts, hiring artists, keeping schedules, setting up crowdfunding projects, doing most of the graphic design, lettering and formatting the comics, finalizing print files, uploading to the printers, working with the print companies to ensure quality publications, ordering special perks/rewards, packing and shipping the books & etc. -- the average turnaround time is approximately 5 to 6 months.
Expect 6 to 10 months to be on the long end of wait times. If the books have been published previously, wait times can be reduced to about 3 months. It all depends on the current rate of progress of each book and whether or not artists are meeting their deadlines.
On occasion, life gets in the way and projects can get delayed and take a little bit longer. The longest wait so far has been for Daughter of Wolves 2 which took a full year because the colorist needed to take a long hiatus due to the death of a beloved family member.
Most backers of crowdfunding realize there are longer than average wait times for indie books that lack a publishing house and a 12-person publishing team to get things out more quickly. However, Regolith Comics has fulfilled all crowdfunding projects to date. That alone speaks volumes about the dedication of Regolith Comics to meet its promise to produce and ship some of the best indie comics available today!
