Quantum Vibe #[5]

A collected volume of Scott Bieser and Lea Jean Badelys's Quantum Vibe, this "Assimulation" edition presents a striking cover featuring a sharp-eared, blue-haired figure beaming confidently against a star-filled backdrop, arms raised to display an eclectic array of spacecraft and structures — from sleek saucers to an imposing geometric station. The bold retro-futurist lettering and the sheer variety of vessels surrounding the central character hint at a story spanning wildly different civilizations and technologies. If you enjoy science fiction comics with a sense of humor and genuine cosmic scope, this 2017 Big Head Press release looks like a thoroughly entertaining ride.
