Mad Cave Studios is thrilled to announce ASTRO QUANTUM, a stunning new sci-fi epic from acclaimed creators Arturo Fabra (Tempesta dal Nulla) and Andrea Mutti (Bunny Mask, Parasomnia), with colors by Valerio Alloro (Arkham Horror) and letters by Dan Cutali (Iscariot), charting an odyssey of cosmic vengeance, ecological reckoning, and existential discovery in a five-issue limited series.
Astro Quantum balances pulse-pounding space-opera action with philosophical introspection. Its expansive universe, free of humans yet full of racial, cultural, and moral diversity, echoes contemporary questions of survival, faith, and identity.

Arturo Fabra and Andrea Mutti spoke of this exciting new series saying:
“This project combines two of our passions: science fiction and Moby Dick, one of our lifelong ‘books of life.’ While inspired by Melville’s monumental ideas, at its core, this is an adventure about the war for energy, ecological terrorism, and the exploitation of nature for profit. We see it as the gateway to a larger universe of stories—inviting readers to look at the stars with curiosity while reflecting on our place here on Earth. Most of all, we hope they enjoy the journey, and want to come back for more.
Astro Quantum
Cast out to die in the toxic world of Maku, young Ishmaeel finds an unlikely ally in the sharp-tongued Soliumite exile Quee-Keg. Together, they claw their way through underground bazaars, brutal creatures of the Galaxy, and bitter rivalries to chase a destiny bigger than either imagined: a place aboard the legendary Molok-hunting starship PEKUOD. An all-new epic space saga of survival, rebellion, and the hunger to reach beyond the stars starts here!
Fans of Saga, The Expanse, and Farscape will find themselves immersed in a world where destiny isn’t found in the stars—it’s forged in the fight to survive them.
