🔴 ARE YOU READY? 🌍 PLANET KILLER IS COMPLETE 🔥 ESCLUSIVE SNEAK PEEK 🔥
5 days ago
– Thu, Aug 13, 2026 at 08:24:53 AM
Today, we can finally say it:
The artwork for Planet Killer is officially complete.
We are now working on the final lettering, quality checks and digital preparation ahead of its release on September 7.
But instead of simply announcing that we have reached the finish line, we want to show you how Planet Killer became the comic it is today.
This is a look inside its evolution, from the earliest visual ideas to the finished pages.
The original cover was created at the beginning of production, when the visual identity of Planet Killer was still being defined.
As the comic evolved, its atmosphere became darker, more cinematic and much more ambitious. The final cover was completely rebuilt to represent the actual experience waiting inside the story: the corrupted planet, its biotechnological threat, the scale of the conflict and the bond between Adia and Ekam.
This was not simply a cosmetic redesign.
It was the moment when the cover finally became a true reflection of the finished comic.
Every finished page begins with its narrative structure.
The early layout establishes the composition, the rhythm of the scene, the position of the characters and the movement of the reader’s eye across the page.
At this stage, the goal is not detail. It is clarity, impact and storytelling.
PHASE 1 - ROUGH DRAFT
The line art transforms that initial structure into the real world of Planet Killer.
Characters, anatomy, expressions, environments and biotechnological elements are redesigned and refined until every part of the page belongs to the same visual language.
This is where the scale of the planet, the physicality of the action and the emotional weight of the scene truly begin to emerge.
PHASE 2 - DEFINED LINE-ART
Color is the final transformation.
The palette was designed to make the planet feel beautiful, alien and deeply corrupted. Toxic greens, cold shadows and violent contrasts turn the environment into something that feels alive, as if the infection has spread through the world itself.
PHASE 3 - COLORS
The final colors do more than complete the drawing. They define the atmosphere of Planet Killer.
PHASE 4 - RENDERING/FINAL COLORS
Adia awakens in darkness, trapped inside a mysterious cocoon.
Drained of her strength and plagued by fractured, corrupted memories, she barely manages to break free, only to discover a sight beyond anything she could have imagined.
n entire planet is at war, consumed by a strange biotechnological virus that is transforming its creatures, its environment and perhaps the world itself.
But is this devastation truly accidental?
Perhaps, somewhere on the planet, someone is quietly pulling the strings.
It will be up to Adia to discover whether a hidden force is really behind the conflict, who or what it might be, and why this world has been driven toward destruction.
Because she is not fighting only to survive.
She must stop this dying world from becoming something far more terrifying:
A planet capable of killing other planets.
Planet Killer is no longer a promise or a collection of isolated previews. It is a finished story.
The remaining work is focused on lettering, final quality control and preparation of the digital edition.
On September 7, you will finally be able to experience it from beginning to end.
More soon.

🚨 IMPORTAND UPDATE - BACKERKIT CHARGE + GET FEATURED + BIG PRODUCTION NEWS
26 days ago
– Thu, Jul 23, 2026 at 08:12:14 AM
🚨 ACTION REQUIRED: BACKERKIT CHARGE ON JULY 29, AND PRODUCTION IS SHIFTING INTO HIGH GEAR
Hello, Warriors!
Over the past few months, we’ve been working hard and talking far less than we should have.
But today, we’re not coming back with the usual “We’re working on it. More news soon.”
We’re coming back with completed pages, colors in progress, rewards becoming real, and an entire production finally crossing its first major milestones.
First, however, let’s handle the responsible adult part of this update. We promise it’ll only take a minute.
🚨 BACKERKIT: CHECK YOUR CARD BEFORE JULY 29
On July 29, BackerKit will charge the shipping costs already entered and confirmed in your survey.
This is not a new purchase or an additional fee. It is the amount you have already reviewed and approved as part of your order.
Before that date, please make sure that:
The connected card is the correct one.
It has not expired.
It is enabled for online payments.
It has sufficient funds available.
So, if you see the charge appear on July 29, don’t panic. It’s not an alien invasion. It’s us.
A quick check will help us avoid failed transactions and potential delays in processing your order.
While checking your BackerKit details, take one final look at your order.
Once orders are locked, no additional rewards or add-ons can be purchased.
Missing something? This is your last chance to claim it.
Review or upgrade your order before it’s locked.
Done? Perfect. Now we can move on to the fun part.
🔥 PLANET KILLER: 100% LINE ART
Yes, 100%.
The final line has been drawn, and every page of Planet Killer is now fully illustrated from beginning to end.
But we didn’t stop to wait for the end credits. Coloring has already passed the halfway mark.
Planet Killer is no longer simply “in production.” It has officially entered its final stage, marking the first major milestone in this new phase of Seventh Universe production.
In this story, Adia and Ekam find themselves on a planet almost entirely consumed by something that should never have existed: a mysterious and forbidden force. With no memory, their energy reduced to a minimum, and hostile life forms surrounding them, Adia must remember what happened before that world swallows her, along with its secrets.
For now, we can show you only a fragment.
Double Splash-Page featured in PLANET KILLER
⚡ GLITCH: SOMETHING ISN’T RIGHT
And that is exactly the point.
New Glitch pages have been completed in full, including dialogue, while the rest of the story continues to move forward.
What initially appears to be a simple malfunction in the ship’s instruments leads the Elokah toward something far greater.
Unknown technologies. Lost civilizations. Unexplained anomalies.
And a nightmare from the past.
⚫ LIGHTLESS: TURN OFF THE LIGHTS
While Planet Killer reaches its first major milestone and Glitch continues to raise some deeply unsettling questions, Lightless remains the most advanced spin-off in the entire production.
A substantial portion of the comic has already been completed, and this project is also entering its final stages.
If Planet Killer takes Adia and Ekam to a world consumed by a “planetary infection,” and Glitch confronts them with the secrets of a vanished civilization, Lightless will drag them into a place where even their light may not be enough.
The title, after all, was never meant to reassure you.
📦 ADIA IS ABOUT TO STEP OFF THE PAGE. LITERALLY.
Adia’s statue has received a major finishing upgrade, and the result is spectacular.
Now that we’ve seen what she has become, one casually posted photograph simply wouldn’t do her justice.
Get ready to see her spread her wings in the real world. She’ll soon receive a complete presentation and an official unboxing, showing her from every angle.
ONLY an EARLY PAINTING W.I.P.
This time, Adia won’t simply be the protagonist.
She’ll be the centerpiece of the collection.
🌌 FROM NOW ON, THE SILENCE STAYS IN SPACE
This update won’t be a lone transmission followed by several more months of communication drifting through the cosmic void.
We’ve prepared a full roadmap of updates covering the next stages of production: new progress, previews, behind-the-scenes features, announcements, and reward-focused content.
We’ve worked hard and communicated too little. That is our responsibility, and we intend to make it right in the simplest way possible: by regularly showing you what we’re building.
The schedule is ready. The next transmissions are already on their way.
And some will be considerably bigger than others. 👀
Want your question and your name featured in our next official update?
Leave a question for Alfredo or the Seventh Universe team in the comments below, or post it in our Facebook VIP group.
Production, characters, story, artwork, behind-the-scenes curiosities, ask us anything. Just don’t ask for spoilers. Those transmissions will be lost in deep space.
We’ll select three questions and answer them in the next update.
🔥 Join the ArtCon Facebook Group!
One last thing, Warriors.
If you want to interact more directly with the ArtCon team, follow the latest news, see extra behind-the-scenes material, and stay connected with the Seventh Universe community, we invite you to join our official Facebook group.
Thank you for your patience, your trust, and the energy with which you continue to support Seventh Universe.
We’ve spent a long time working away from the spotlight.
Now, let’s turn it back on.
🚨 LAST CALL for the Survey + Amazing Updates / New Pages Preview! IMPORTANT UPDATE:
2 months ago
– Fri, Jun 05, 2026 at 09:20:30 AM
🚨 IMPORTANT UPDATE: LAST CALL for the Survey + Amazing Updates / New Pages Preview!
🔥 Hello, Warriors! 🔥
It’s time for a new Seventh Universe update... and this one is important.
First of all, a quick production update: work on the main graphic novel is moving forward at full speed! We would have loved to publish many more updates over the past weeks, but we got completely absorbed by an incredible amount of drawing, coloring, page work, corrections, and production.
The good news? There is a lot to show you today.
The main comic is now halfway through production, and I have also just drawn the characters inspired by the backers who selected the “Your Face in the Comic” reward. Seeing real supporters become part of the Seventh Universe story has been truly exciting.
So please keep reading, because below you’ll find some brand-new previews from the main book and from the spin-offs!
🚨 LAST CALL for the BackerKit Survey 🚨
Very soon, we will lock orders on BackerKit. This means that if you still haven’t completed your survey, now is the time to do it.
Completing the survey is extremely important because it allows us to:
Collect your final reward information
Confirm your shipping address
Calculate shipping costs correctly
Prepare fulfillment in the most accurate way possible
Let you upgrade your edition or add extra items before orders are locked
If you haven’t completed your survey yet, please do it as soon as possible.
Enter the same email address you used for Kickstarter, and you’ll be able to retrieve your survey.
⬆️ LAST CHANCE to upgrade your edition ⬆️
This is also your last chance to upgrade your reward or add something special to your order.
And yes, this includes the Seventh Universe spin-offs.
If you missed them during the campaign, or if you selected only one or two and want to complete the collection, this is the final opportunity to grab them through BackerKit before we lock everything.
So… let’s take a look at them.
In 3… 2… 1…
🌍 PLANET KILLER — New Preview!
The first spin-off is Planet Killer! Enjoy this hyper detailed double splash-page!
In this story, we witness a planet being consumed by a terrifying bio-mechanical infection. The situation is catastrophic, the scale is massive, and the danger is growing beyond control.
In the preview, Ekam saves his sister, Adia, at the very last moment.
But don’t worry.
Adia is not just “the princess to be saved.”
Once she recovers, she will give you one of the most unforgettable and spectacular moments in the entire Seventh Universe saga, as a true “strong female protagonist”…
Or maybe it would be more accurate to say:
super-powered.
🪽 GLITCH — Upgraded Beyond the Stretch Goals!
The second spin-off is Glitch, and we are very proud to say that it has received a fantastic upgrade, not tied to any stretch goal. We simply wanted to give our readers the best possible version of this story, because the Seventh Universe deserves it, and so do you.
The cover has been improved, the visual mood has been pushed further, and the atmosphere is now much stronger and more cinematic.
In this new page, the Elokahs are preparing to reach a planet where something sinister is happening.
Portals are opening.
Wings are spreading.
And the next mission is about to begin.
🌑 LIGHTLESS — New Unreleased Page!
The third spin-off is Lightless.
In this new preview, Ekam finds himself facing an enemy who feels strangely familiar.
What is really happening here?
Will he strike?
Will he hold back?
This is one of those moments where the answer is hidden inside the story itself, so if you want to discover what’s really going on, Lightless is the spin-off you don’t want to miss.
Oh, and the big news is: Lightless is 90% finished already!
Let's go!!
⚔️ Main Comic Preview — New Material!
And now, a little taste of the main graphic novel.
As mentioned above, the main Seventh Universe comic is moving forward at full speed, and we’re incredibly excited by how the pages are coming together.
The book is becoming bigger, more cinematic, and more intense with every new scene.
We can’t wait to show you more.
Stay tuned — more previews are coming soon.

[IMPORTANT UPDATE] BIG NEWS: Comic Progress, MOVIE Reveal & BackerKit Survey Next Week ⚔️🚀
5 months ago
– Wed, Mar 18, 2026 at 08:30:18 AM
⚔️ WARRIORS, HERE WE ARE: A BIG UPDATE ON SEVENTH UNIVERSE
Hello, Warriors!
First of all, we want to sincerely apologize for the long silence since our last update. 🙏
The reason is simple: work has been moving forward incredibly well, and we’ve been fully focused on building something we truly can’t wait to share with you. We’ve held back a little because we don’t want to spoil too much too early... but today we can finally give you some great news. 🔥
✨ VERY ENCOURAGING NEWS
The biggest update is that the main comic has now been completely written, and all storyboards are finished.
That means that even though many pages are still in sketch or draft form, the full comic can already be read from beginning to end (124 pages!). This allowed us to collect the first feedback on the story, and we’re very happy to say that it has been extremely positive. 🚀
That gives us even more confidence, because it makes us hope that the story we’re building will be able to truly captivate you, our Warriors, too.
Lots of pages!
At the same time, the spin-off comics are moving forward with some absolutely amazing artwork already taking shape. 🎨 From time to time, we’ll be sharing some of these visuals inside the Seventh Universe Facebook VIP group, so stay tuned if you want little glimpses of what’s coming.
Oh, and the second volume is already in development!
Vol 2 Cover preview
And there’s more: we’ve also officially started the serial production of the statues. 🗿 This is a huge milestone for us, and we’re incredibly excited to see ALL these pieces finally becoming reality.
🎬 BREAKING NEWS: A PARALLEL FILM CAMPAIGN?
Now for something unexpected...
We’re currently testing the waters for a parallel campaign connected to a film project. 👀
And yes... our protagonist ADIA will appear in it in an important role. ⚡
We’re not ready to reveal too much just yet, but this is something we’re very excited about, and we think many of you will be too.
So stay tuned on Facebook, because soon we’ll be sharing a concept trailer. 🎥
Live action Adia???
ArtCon Universe is already EXPANDING!
🚀 WHAT’S NEXT: SURVEYS & PLEDGE UPGRADES
Starting next week, we’ll enter the next phase of the campaign: BackerKit surveys.
Here’s what you’ll be able to do in the survey:
Confirm or update your shipping information
Review and complete your shipping payment
Increase or upgrade your pledge
Grab any add-ons you didn’t select during the campaign
This is an important step if you want to make the most of your Seventh Universe pledge.
👉 Please note: once the Late Pledge / BackerKit survey window closes, most add-ons and campaign pricing will no longer be available.
NO cards will be charged before mid-2026, so you’ll still have time to adjust your selection with no rush.
⏳ LAST CALL
Before the BackerKit survey period closes, this is the perfect time to take one more look at your options.
As mentioned above, once the Late Pledge / survey window ends, most add-ons and campaign prices will no longer be available. That’s why we strongly encourage all Warriors to check out the bundles as well, you may find something you missed during the campaign, or discover a better way to expand your Seventh Universe collection. 🔥
And much more!
🤝 HELP A FRIEND DISCOVER SEVENTH UNIVERSE
There’s one more big way you can support the project:
help another Warrior discover our universe. ⚔️
Late Pledges are still open, which means this is the perfect moment to invite friends, comic readers, collectors, and sci-fi lovers to join our growing cause and become part of the Seventh Universe journey.
Every new Warrior makes this universe stronger. 💫
