Hey Atlanteans and all of our Earth Station One listeners! Yours truly, JC De La Torre of Transmissions From Atlantis, has launched a kickstarter campaign for our comic book StarMage.
You can find it here: http://kck.st/10BwYDB
Star Mage is about Darien Connors, a gifted 14 year old boy who discovers that not only is he not human but he’s part of an ancient war between alien magical races. While he learns of his legacy, destiny and importance to the battle, Darien establishes bonds with new, strange friends and learns his magical craft of Kishpu.
The first series consists of all of these elements as well as setting up the mythology of the Sarru Kishpu, the world of Eridu and their enemies. We’re introduced to Darien’s three friends – Unura, Tirwa and Anthaar – each aliens with their own powers that become crucial in the end game against their hated enemy Orasmas Xul Sarrum. We’re introduced to the school – Lambdu Kishpu. We learn of the hierarchy of the royal court and parliament of Eridu. While the story starts on Earth, we will be taken to the far reaches of the galaxy, meet new races and discover strange new worlds.
The first issue was illustrated by comic industry veteran and ultra-talented Ray Dillon, whose credits include the Game of Thrones webcomic, NY Times best selling graphic novel The Last Unicorn and RL Stine’s web comic series.
We’re hoping to fund the completion of the first book and begin Issue #2 of the six issue mini-series but we can’t do it without your support!
If you’re unable to assist monetarily, passing the word to your comic loving friends and fam will be just as good!
Appreciate the support folks, thanks!
Next week, the Earth Station One crew dives back into the back issue bins as we take a look at some of our favorite non-super-hero graphic novels and trades. Graphic novels and comic book trade collections cover multiple genres from horror to sci fi, westerns to drama, crime thrillers, to comedy, and so much more. And ESO is looking for some cool new reads. And, as if that wasn’t enough, author Mark Ellis stops by and braves The Geek Seat. Plus, we’ll have the usual rants, raves, shout outs, and ESO’s Khan Report! It’s going to be another fantastic episode next week at Earth Station One. You should join the fun.

Going boldly where no Doctor has ever gone before! Mike, Mike, and Bobby interview writer Scott Tipton and artist JK Woodward on one of the biggest crossovers in science fiction history! Plus, we also have an update from the producers of The Forgotten Doctor who are trying to make a little history of their own.
After fully recovering from our Pond mourning, we are back at it with another action packed episode of Transmissions From Atlantis. This week, we discuss why George R.R. Martin’s flashbacks aren’t in the Game of Thrones series. We let you know about Chris Carter’s return to television, the latest on American Horror Story and a big time screen legend who is joining the True Blood cast. We give you our thoughts on Rob Zombie’s Lords of Salem trailer plus some big news from the creator of the Walking Dead. And speaking of our favorite zombies – in Rita’s Reading Review we give you a comparison of the Walking Dead graphic novel and the television series.
Welcome back to Chuck’n Comics where the geek is chic…always. Today I’d like to jump in the TARDIS and ride all timey-whimey back a few years to the release of Brian K. Vaughn’s Y: The Last Man Vol. 1. Y, the first volume in the graphic novels, begins the story of what if all the men on earth died. What was once a lewd sexual fantasy shared by many adolescent boys is brought to the harsh light of reality in an amazing story that grabs you from the first page.
“Howdy!” Mike Gordon will be a guest at
