We refer to the complete "cosmos", or "realm of existence", the τὸ πᾶν tò pân ("the all") and τὸ ὅλον tò hólon ("all things"), which contains all theoretical and physical universes, dimensions and beings.

"You are a part, a piece, of an eternal, infinite being, an aspect or modification of it ... This life of yours which you are living is not merely a piece of this entire existence, but in a certain sense the whole ... This, as we know, is what the Brahmins express in that sacred, mystic formula which is yet really so simple and so clear; tat tvam asi, You are That."

- Erwin Schrödinger, Nobel Prize in Physics 1933 and one of the founding fathers of Quantum Theory.

striveCOMICS is a relatively new aspirant in the comics world dedicated to bringing epic adventures to a global - if not galactic - audience. You can help us spread the word via social networks by sharing our website or some of its content (only if you like it), so others can know about us more quickly. That would be fantasmagorical!

We think good storytelling is all about the emotional connection, irrespective of genre. That said, striveCOMICS is all about science fiction, space adventures, coming of age, as well as good old bare-knuckle action.

Our 24-page periodicals (comic books) are available in digital form only and can be bought in our online shop.

Our trade paperbacks and graphic novels are available in printed form, and can be found in local comic book specialty shops or directly at our online shop.

To find a comic book shop near you, we recommend using Diamond Comics Distributors' free Comic Book Locator and/or THE MASTER LIST of comic book & trading card stores (for USA) and www.ppm-vertrieb.de/haendler.php (for Germany).

Our graphic novels are also sold at local bookstores.

You can buy most of our publications as a Digital Comic, no matter where you are in the world.

A miniseries, sometimes referred to as a limited series, is essentially a finite comic book series, generally running between two to eight issues with a self-contained story.

We call them Quick-Bites. Learn more about our Quick-Bite system.

All striveCOMICS titles will use the following rating system. It was created by DC and it is by far the clearest, so it makes sense to go with that.

E - EVERYONE
Appropriate for all ages. May contain cartoon violence and/or comic mischief.

T - TEEN (12+)
Appropriate for readers age 12 and older. May contain mild violence and/or suggestive themes.

T+ - TEEN PLUS (16+)
Appropriate for readers age 16 and older. May contain moderate violence, mild profanity, graphic imagery and/or suggestive themes.

M - MATURE (18+)
Appropriate for readers age 18 and older. May contain intense violence, extensive profanity, nudity, sexual themes and/or other content not suitable for minors.

This rating system will be used for both print and digital releases. Please note, ratings across all platforms may vary slightly. The above ratings are meant solely as a guideline.

Throughout the website, gender-specific terms may be used in order to ease the text flow. Whenever a gender-specific term is used, it should be understood as referring to the entire gender spectrum, unless explicitly stated.

We support Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, PayPal, Stripe, Alipay and Apple Pay.
