For those of you who might be visiting the site for the first time due to the Free Comics Day on Substack festivities, welcome. We are 3 Worlds / 3 Moons, a concept universe created by Jonathan Hickman, Mike del Mundo, and Mike Huddleston. You can read more on what we’re all about here, and you can check out a comprehensive index of posts (including all the comics so far) here.
Today, we have something special for you. Back on Jan 31, we announced THE VALLARS: THE ORIGINAL ADVENTURING FAMILY, an upcoming ongoing series set in the 3W/3M Universe drawn by the amazing Jason Howard. Here’s what we said at the time:
THE VALLARS is the story of a young Tajo Vallar, boy explorer and inventor, and his first journey across the Three Worlds and Three Moons.
We wanted to do a story about discovery, wonder, and family. And if our larger story is about the cycles of a universe, then this cycle made a great deal of sense to explore, too.
We’re making this series FREE to read. A cool part of this whole experiment is sometimes we get to make the books accessible to as many people as possible, get comics out there for everyone to enjoy. This is one you can share with your friends, your kids, people who might not be able to afford it– all we really ask in return, is to help us spread it around.
Now, as part of Free Comics Day on Substack, we’re proud to present a special extended preview chapter of THE VALLARS.
Before we begin, though, a reminder: we’re planning to make this book FREE to everyone to read. As we said above, we want to make comics more accessible for everyone. But in the long run we can only afford to do this if the people who can afford to support us do so.

I really love the Johnny Quest vibes.
Phenomenal stuff! Love Jason Howard's artwork and this story was a lot of fun. A Sci-fi explorer adventure tale is right up my alley.
