An original sci-fi graphic novel by Jeff Lemire + Matt Kindt + David Rubîn. Oversized hardcover and 192 pages of cosmic mayhem!
David posted this on his social media, ICYMI! He's onto the last pages and should finish very soon. The details in his art are just astounding!
We are shooting for this spring. Thank you to everyone for your patience! We really think it will all be worth the wait.

Just wanted to post a quick update!
David is still SUPER hard at work on the art! And he's doing EVERYTHING - lettering, color, pencils, inks...! Even with that workload - he's working incredibly fast compared to industry standards...and he's turning out what I think is the best work of his career to date. So crazy to see someone with so much talent actually getting better - pushing the boundaries and coming up with new ways to show action.
We're still on track to have art assets done in early spring - and then straight to the printer!
Here's a little art in process to give you a glimpse into the detail that David is pouring into this book!

Quick update! David just turned in a TON of new amazing pages...check out the sound effects...these insane layouts...I wish I could show you the pages right after this...! But spoilers... We are still on pace for being finished by February-ish!
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe and healthy!

Hi!!
Everything advanced fine, the most of the pages of Cosmic Detective are drawed and inked already, and a 25% of the book is colored and lettered too.
I think that I will finish the complete art by the early beggining of 2021.
Thank you so much for your patience and for support and trust in our work!!
Best!!
David.
Jeff and I just received the first 107 pages of Cosmic Detective from David! And it looks AMAZING!!!! I'll post a few pages here - without spoiling the story. Some pages are fully colored - and still black and white but inked...I LOVE seeing David's art in black and white first - the textures he's uses and the lines are just so fun to see. And I am a sucker for lots of tiny panels and talking heads...so great. Lots to look at here...! Enjoy!
We will be sharing a link for late-pledges - so if you missed it or want to add something or have a friend that wants in - you'll be able to share it. We'll probably open up the late pledges around December...
David looks to be on track for finishing art by January-ish and then we'll go straight to press and then begin shipping.
Thanks again for the support! It's all coming together!
-matt (Jeff and David)!
