Astro Quantum #2 (Mad Cave Studios, 2026)

A frozen SOS. A desperate rescue. And a captain who hides more than a face in the dark. When the PEKUOD answers a faint distress call from the ice world Ghebar, Ishmaeel and Quee-Keg join a ragged rescue that quickly goes wrong: thieves posing as survivors, savages and legendary "ice demons" from the deep, and a costly act of betrayal that leaves brave blood on the ice. All while the PEKUOD ship's shadowed captain -- Akhab -- vows a bloody reckoning against ghosts of the past and the galaxy's deadliest prey: the Moloks. Issue #2 plunges the crew deeper into violence and moral compromise. Friendships are tested, loyalties fracture, and the hunt for Molok blood becomes more than a dirty job -- it turns into a fatal destiny. A gritty, high-stakes chapter of cosmic survival, revenge, and the brutal truth about what it takes to touch the stars.
