Author of STELLARLANDShttps://bsky.app/profile/maxferrada.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/maxferrada.bsky.social/post/3mk6jgvum2k2lAll 3 issues of the award-winning sci-fi saga "Stellarlands" will be available in the upcoming Stellarlands123 Kickstarter campaign. This isn’t just a story of space battles — "Stellarlands" packs an emotional wallop. Reviewers have admitted to crying! Find us on Kickstarter.23 Apr 2026 17:19 +0000at://did:plc:kov5oltqoruidpbt7ei26oea/app.bsky.feed.post/3mk6jgvum2k2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/maxferrada.bsky.social/post/3mgpambyyuk27A fair bit of research goes into the sci-fi world of Stellarlands, and I genuinely think keyboard-less holotables are the future. Issue 3 takes us into a full metropolis — an entire city where advanced tech merges with classical architecture. Stellarlands 3 is now on prelaunch.

Ben Worrell’s original diving suit design becomes part of something much bigger in Stellarlands 3. Beneath the waves, the story doesn’t just dive — it time-jumps.

Gothic longing on an cloudy shore. A lonely space station adrift in orbit. Different centuries, same human concerns. Stellarlands - now on Pre-Launch on Kickstarter .

No plot mechanics. No grand speeches. No action pieces. Just behaviour. A drink offered. A refusal. A little chat that has nothing to do with anything. Just life.17 Jan 2026 02:38 +0000at://did:plc:kov5oltqoruidpbt7ei26oea/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcllgf7ahc2khttps://bsky.app/profile/maxferrada.bsky.social/post/3mc7x43sgdc23The walk-and-talk! Or...the Aaron Sorkin walk-and-talk! Characters in motion, exposition delivered on the fly, and the camera expertly tracking - catching the dialogue, while revealing space. It always felt right on tv, so I wanted to see how it worked in comics. Stellarlands now on prelaunch.12 Jan 2026 11:35 +0000at://did:plc:kov5oltqoruidpbt7ei26oea/app.bsky.feed.post/3mc7x43sgdc23https://bsky.app/profile/maxferrada.bsky.social/post/3massclb3jc25Christmas is wrapped, and 2026 is on the horizon! Looking back, Stellarlands had an incredible 2025—new collaborators, award wins, sold-out conventions, and a flood of amazing reviews. Here are my top 4 review quotes that truly made the year. Thank you, 2025!25 Dec 2025 12:39 +0000at://did:plc:kov5oltqoruidpbt7ei26oea/app.bsky.feed.post/3massclb3jc25https://bsky.app/profile/maxferrada.bsky.social/post/3magn5tjg7c2vSuch a wonderful surprise in the mail.

And it’s a rave from Mark. Kudos Mark! Hope everyone's sliding into Christmas peacefully.

I guess when the organisers said there would be a media wall, they meant segregation. #TiktokAwardsAustralia01 Dec 2025 11:15 +0000at://did:plc:kov5oltqoruidpbt7ei26oea/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6wcgz6rr22chttps://bsky.app/profile/maxferrada.bsky.social/post/3m4pl34m7mc2zThis is Gavin. Gavin doesn’t usually read comics. Gavin read Stellarlands. Gavin loved it. I wrote Stellarlands for readers who crave story, not format. So if you’ve only lived in the world of novels, this is your sign to expand your universe! Stellarlands is now on Prelaunch.

You can watch the full breakdown on his YouTube, but this quote really stuck with us: "They feel like they come from a major publisher."

That is, an Independent Publisher Book Awards. Not a comic award. A book award. Grateful beyond words. This team poured everything into the story. Comics aren't a gateway to literature.

No deal. No publisher. Just me, and a story that would speak to me in my dreams. Fast-forward to this past weekend at SupaNova Sydney - every copy of "Stellarlands" sold out. We brought boxes.
