The 35th Anniversary of Michael Tierney’s Wild Stars is almost upon us and Cirsova Publishing is teaming up with Little Rocket Publications to adapt Michael Tierney’s Wild Stars III: Time Warmageddon into an illustrated novel in a KickStarter exclusive.
Wild Stars III: Time Warmageddon will feature interior art work by comic book veteran Mark Wheatley, who worked on Vertigo Comics’ 1001 Nights of Snowfall. He’s also worked on Jonny Quest and Blood of Dracula. It will also see cover art by My Hero Magademia creator and artist Timothy Lim.
Who are the Wild Stars?
The Wild Stars are the brightest stars in the night sky. They were discovered in aeons past when an immortal being descended upon Earth and led mankind on their first migration into space to colonize the stars.
The saga of the Wild Stars takes place over countless millennia, parallel worlds, and multiple intersecting timelines as inhuman aliens and the descendants of immortal space-farers fight to control, defend, or destroy Earth and humanity.
Wild Stars III: Time Warmageddon
The story sees former-President Bully Bravo pursued by an evil pirate queen and a rogue time-traveler attempting to create a god. While Bully Bravo attempts to avoid these villains he will also be attempting to solve a number of mysteries including the the replacement of distant by white dwarfs as discovered by a number of faster-than- light scouts. But not only are the suns being replaced, their planets are also going missing. This isn’t the only mystery he will be solving. Terraformers have also discovered a world that shows signs of human colonization. Bravo will try to figure out who those people were and where they disappeared to.
Wild Stars III: Time Warmageddon will be available as a Kickstarter-Only exclusive. It will be available in a pulp-style magazine printing that “will be manufactured strictly to order and will ‘sold out’ upon release.” Copies are expected to be delivered this July.
