His new comic creation is called Void Sever.\u00a0&#8220;Void Sever&#8221; is a wide-branching story of surrealist science fiction.\u00a0It was in part inspired by creators like Isaac Asimov, Christopher Nolan, and Lewis Carroll. They opened their readers&#8217; minds to what is possible and what it means to be transported to another world or another time. SVP hopes to do the same with Void Sever.<\/p>\n<p>This is a story about a couple who are sent out to explore the void in search of a habitable world for humanity using an experimental ship equipped with the new void severing drive technology. They encounter many complications on their journey, including while they are in stasis with the virtual dream world controlled by their AI counterpart. The separate worlds of reality and dream begin instilling madness. Can they find a new home before they fall to their own insanity?<\/p>\n<p>If you want to meet and talk to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mattrc\" target=\"_blank\">Matt<\/a>, you can see him at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bangorcomicandtoycon.com\" target=\"_blank\">Bangor Comic and Toy<\/a> Con. on April 25th.
