Next issues of Riftbreaker comic?

[Zhangar]

Hi, do we have a rought eta for the next few issues of the Riftbreaker comic?

Its amazing and the wait is killing me haha

Markosia didn't have anything beyond "it's in progress" when I asked a couple weeks ago. Definitely looking forward to both Traveller comics' next issues.

Hi, everyone. Update on Riftbreaker: The layout artist has just finished completing all 24 pages and is turning it over to the inker (or "finisher" since it's all digital) and colourist. Running a little late, but we should see a finished product within the next few weeks. Probably won't be available for two months or so, unfortunately, but rest assured, it's coming!

When I wrote that update four months ago, I thought we were about done. Traveller: Riftbreaker #2 is now being coloured, and should soon be complete. Here's a preview of the first page to whet your appetite:

 

[Vormaerin]

Looking forward to it.

Took quite a bit longer than expected, but we finally have a release date for #2: July 1st!

A Saurian. Nice. After the Nenlat fellow in the first issue, I'm glad some of the minor races are getting a look in.

Maybe next we'll get a Lewwe Llew Dandelion.

Looking forward to this one! Hopefully issue 3 isnt too far behind

 

[ColinD]

Can't wait to see it!

How are we doing for Riftbreaker #3?

 

[Jarac Rassen]

I, too, am looking forward to issue #3.

 

[MongooseChris]

It's coming along, but unfortunately, I don't have an accurate update. The third issue is about 1/3 illustrated and I hassle the art team on a weekly basis to get it done faster.

The good news is, it's still Luigi Iannelli doing the art. I think he's perfect for the book, which has a certain lightheartedness to it that suits his style. The bad news is Luigi's other commitments prevent him from getting it done quickly. I'd like him to do #4, too, so we could have one art team throughout the first mini-series, but we'll probably have to build a new creative team for the subsequent four-issue mini-series. I'd prefer that we get these out much faster, maybe with no more than a two-month gap between issues.

Rest assured, it's coming! Sorry for the long wait. Here's a little preview art from #3 to whet your appetities!



Edit: Image updated with figures lightened to convey motion.

Will there be 3 or 4 issues of Riftbreaker?

I recently updated the Wikipedia entry for Traveller Fiction and left that open ended.

That is really great! As a fellow Traveller fan I really appreciate that.

Thanks,

I am looking over the various Wikipdia entries for the games and VTT programs I use and giving back a bit to the community.

Four. So far, that's the format of all past and future Traveller comic mini-series. The art for the second Far Trader and Riftbreaker series is already underway.
