An action-packed and hilarious QWST begins in this graphic novel based on the popular tabletop game as the Starcadia universe is expanding for the first time with all new stories.

Out in the Frontier, the toughest jobs in the galaxy are handled by Freelance Adventuring Crews, and a disillusioned delivery boy known as Starkid dreams of captaining his own team earning a living completing lucrative but dangerous quests set up by the Starcadia Alliance. When his best friend Digits encourages him to recruit a crew, he sends out a call for the best he can get... at his local Stardollars coffee shop.

Also contains three exclusive scenarios for the Starcadia Quest game! Expanding the world of Starcadia Quest, the latest stand-alone game in the Arcadia Quest family where players fight alien monsters and each other, find new gear, explore the far reaches of space, and do their best to not become alien chow.
James Roberts is a British comic book writer best known for his contributions to the Transformers franchise, having worked consistently with the robots in disguise since he co-wrote the 2010 limited series, Last Stand of the Wreckers, with Nick Roche. His first solo story, the two-part "Chaos Theory," appeared in Mike Costa's ongoing Transformers title and explored the origins of Optimus Prime and Megatron's relationship. He and Costa co-plotted the series' finale, "Chaos." Roberts is best known, however, for Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye (often abbreviated to MTMTE), the ongoing series that launched in January 2012 and ran for 57 issues, plus annuals and one-shots. James won Best Writer in the 2017 Comixology Readers' Choice Awards for Transformers: Lost Light, which itself won Best Series.
