From Michael Moreci, Vic Malhotra, and Kyle Charles on Zoop, a deluxe hardcover of Roche Limit from the Image Comics series is now live.
Launching today on the Zoop crowdfunding platform is Roche Limit: The Deluxe Hardcover from Michael Moreci, Vic Malhotra, and Kyle Charles. The book was originally released by Image Comics in single issue and trade paperback format. But for the first time ever, fans can get the entire 3 volume series in one premium hardcover edition!
"Our destiny is the stars, and I will lead us there." Twenty years after this promise, billionaire Langford Skaargard's dream of cosmic exploration is no more. Roche Limit, a colony situated on the cusp of a mysterious energy anomaly, is a melting pot of crime and terrible secrets. When Bekkah Hudson goes missing, the search to find her will plunge her sister and a cadre of the colony's underworld figures into an odyssey that reveals a grim future for mankind.
Hailed as one of the best sci-fi comics ever by Paste Magazine, Roche Limit is being collected in one volume for the first time, with a brand-new introduction from writer Michael Moreci.

The Baker Street Irregulars hit Kickstarter
From Time Bomb Comics and the pages of Quantum is a new Kickstarter featuring The Baker Street Irregulars.
Time Bomb Comics is delighted to announce a new title hitting Kickstarter: a full-length adventure for The Baker Street Irregulars. This will mark the first of three planned 70+ page stories about the BSI, to be published under David Morris’ Corvus Press Imprint.
Spinning out of an ongoing story in the Quantum anthology, the BSI is an adventure story which spans from World War Two to the current day and from sci-fi to horror to spy fiction. Sanctioned by Winston Churchill during the 2nd World War the Special Operations Executive was headquartered at 64 Baker Street, London and nicknamed "the Baker Street Irregulars" after Sherlock Holmes's fictional group of spies.
Created by David Morris, the past adventures of the BSI have run monthly in Quantum. More recently, a special stand-alone story was released at 2024’s Matla Comic Con, with the plot set partly in Malta. Dee’s Angel, a new, 80-page and full-colour story, will be produced by David, with Patrick O’Connor joining as co-plotter and inker.
Dee’s Angel is an origin story for the BSI, and sees them face a typically genre bending challenge. Drawing on the real history of John Dee, mathematician, geographer, government agent, astrologer, alchemist and advisor to Queen Elizabeth the 1st, this story sees a mysterious ‘angel’ summoned by Dee return to earth in 1986. As the last line of defence between earth and forces from beyond, the BSI are called into duty.
Speaking on why this is the right story for their first full length adventure, Patrick spoke about how the Malta story had helped “plant a footprint for the BSI internationally”, and how he is now looking forward to the solo BSI title:
“This is a grand commitment, scary but exciting and most of all self-satisfying to have all our hard work under one title, in one place.”
The Baker Street Irregulars: Dee’s Angel will run on Kickstarter throughout July, and can be found here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/corvuspress/soe-the-baker-street-irregulars
Early bird supporters will get a free print, either digital or print depending on their backing choice.
