The acclaimed creators behind Lost Fantasy and Indigo Children launch a hyperviolent fever dream about revenge with iconic covers by Jae Lee
Curt Pires, the comics trailblazer behind Galactic, Lost Fantasy, and countless other celebrarted works has announced the Kickstarter campaign for The Objectivist, a 140-page original graphic novel with art from acclaimed artists Alex Diotto (Lost Fantasy, Indigo Children) and Luca Casalanguida (Lost Fantasy), colors from Mark Dale, and lettering from Micah Myers. The project features haunting covers by Eisner Award-winning artist Jae Lee. With a campaign set to launch on March 17, 2026, this boundary-breaking graphic novel deconstructs superhero adoration, vigilantism, and the terrifying rise of subjective truth.
The Objectivist follows an isolated vigilante whose grip on sanity unravels as he mounts a one-man war against corruption. His journey quickly spirals into moral freefall when the foundations of truth that have fueled his blood-splattered crusade begin to crumble. The resulting narrative sucker punch weaves thematic and visual threads ranging from The Question, Sin City, and Batman: Year One to Steve Ditko’s Mr. A.
“This is a comic that had to be made without compromise. No committees, no corporate filtering,” explains co-creator and writer Curt Pires. “This is both an embrace of the shadow-drenched noir I was raised on and an autopsy of the social conclusions those books subtly endorsed. Something this unsanitized could only happen on Kickstarter.”
Fans can sign up for The Objectivist’s mailing list to receive updates when the project will launch. The graphic novel will be released in a physical hardcover as well as digitally on the digital comics and manga hub, Neon Ichiban, with detailed reward tiers to be announced closer to the Kickstarter launch.
