BEYOND THE STARS #3: THE INTERGALACTIC ADVENTURE CONTINUES


Ron Fortier's intergalactic adventure, Beyond the Stars, continues through Silverline Comics, adorned by three, collectible covers, created by Andrea Bromida, Kevin West, Mickey Clausen, Thomas Florimonte and Rob Davis.


For Issues #1-2, readers were introduced to the Er-Keety, colonists who reside within the Elgin Nebula, for they are the key to quelling the approaching danger. But first the Er-Keety must be located, and to fulfill that quest, a group of Science Warriors is dispatched. Beyond the Stars is their story. 


For Issue #3, Fortier is again assisted by the artistic talents of the aforementioned Bormita and Mike W. Belcher, who now place their protagonists in a strange craft, the Gnik-tu, which is hosted by the spectral Slous. Slous informs the warriors of cosmic creatures called swimmers, and how the heart of one such entity propels the vessel. In turn, this symbiotic link appears to hold the ancillary means to aid the warriors toward their lofty goal. 


Beyond the Stars #3 overflows with heightened mystery and surreal suspense, thus reinforcing the saga as one of the best space odysseys to manifest in years.   


I'm ecstatic that Issue #3 found its funding, for it would've been a travesty if this inspiring, space opera had ended prematurely. It's nice to know, too, that its creators are planning three, additional chapters. 


Beyond the Stars #3's official release is forthcoming. Bizarrechats will post an update as soon as the information becomes available.

RON FORTIER'S BEYOND THE STARS: A SILVERLINE/KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN

For those who visit Bizarrechats, the name Ron Fortier holds enormous weight. With Rob Davis, Fortier helms the New Pulp company, Airship 27 Productions. He’s also the mastermind behind Mr. Jigsaw, The Black Lion, Brother Bones and The Boston Bombers, in addition to having contributed to such noted franchises as The Green Hornet, RamboPopeye, The TerminatorPeter Pan and Gene Roddenberry's Lost Universe. 

Fortier now embarks on an exciting, new science-fiction/comic-book series: Beyond the Stars.

Beyond the Stars is sponsored by Silverline Comics, in conjunction with its president, Roland (Cat & Mouse) Mann, and will feature exquisite artwork by Italian illustrator, Andrea Bormida and elegant lettering by Mike W. Belcher.

Fortier's six-issue odyssey presents a brave band of scientific adventurers, helmed by the capable Kal and alien-expert Professor Yonel Travane, who blast forth to halt a galactic anomaly from harming humankind. The unfolding voyage should please fans of Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica and Space Cruiser Yamato, as well as devotees of Heavy Metal and Epic Illustrated, while it holds a special quality that’s all its own. 

Word has it that Fortier’s conceptualization is pitch-perfect on all counts, which should come as no surprise, considering the author’s proven track record.

Beyond the Stars is currently capturing funding through a progressing Kickstarter campaign, which is linked to a package deal with the accompanying titles: The Obsoletes (a fable in which space miners succumb to a Rip Van Winkle dilemma) and Krey (where a young man is raised to become a warrior by those who slayed his parents).
