THE ASTRAL BOW is an Upcoming LitRPG Graphic Novel in Need of Support from Fans

If you’re looking for a new LitRPG graphic novel, you may want to consider supporting The Astral Bow. This is a new graphic novel written by Purwa Gustira, Conor Kostick, and Stephen Landry with Jen Hickman providing the cover design. You can support the project over on Kickstarter right now with only $5 needed to obtain a digital copy of the novel when it releases in June (assuming goals are met).

“Meet Edel Harris, aka Estrella the Assassin and other avatars. Her job (which she loves): private detective for investigations in virtual worlds.

The two biggest online environments in the near future are those of Epic, a fantasy MMORPG and Star Divers, a space opera MMORPG. To do her job well, Edel has to be one of the highest level players in both.

In The Astral Bow, the elite guild, Truefire have been robbed. Their guild treasury is a mess and among the missing items is one of the game’s most valuable ranged weapons, The Astral Bow. Much as Alma, the guild leader, hates to get outside help, she has no recourse but to call in Estrella, but she is dismayed at the investigator’s strange approach to the job. Instead of interviews and forensics, Estrella disappears.

Edel has her secrets and one of them is knowledge of a quest line that will grant her a Vision of what happened the night of the robbery. The only problem is that to complete the quest, she has to raid for drops from Utkarsha, the Turquoise dragon, Queen Kimasha of the Black Yhandis lizard people and several smaller mobs. Old friends are willing to help, but with tensions within Truefire pointing towards civil war, time is limited.”

If funding is met, the team even plans to have The Astral Bow be merely the first graphic novel starring Edel with future books continuing her story. As of writing, there are roughly 38 days left and they’re still trying to meet their funding goal of $4,000.
