Much like previous crowdfunding efforts, fans quickly rallied to support the initiative, surpassing funding goals in a matter of hours, showcasing the enduring popularity of the series.
Just a day post-launch, The Expanse: A Little Death achieved remarkable success, with contributions nearing $500,000, significantly exceeding its initial target of $50,000. Following the highly successful BOOM!

Adding to the excitement, Wes Chatham, who portrayed Amos in the series, has joined the project as a co-writer.

This new graphic novel takes place within a three-decade gap that bridges the sixth and seventh novels of The Expanse series, specifically between Babylon’s Ashes and Persepolis Rising. The narrative unfolds across four individual comic issues, and BOOM! has thoughtfully curated various purchasing options. Fans can choose to acquire the comics in diverse formats, including digital, print, single issues, collected volumes, or as part of a comprehensive hardcover collection of all previous The Expanse comics.
Initial plot details suggest an exhilarating exploration of the Laconian Empire’s emergence through Amos’s perspective, promising not just political intrigue but also action-packed sequences:
Discover the missing adventures of the crew of the Rocinante – James Holden, Naomi Nagata, Amos Burton, Bobbie Draper, and Clarissa Mao, as they navigate the complexities of the Inners, Belters, and Transport Union… all culminating in the rise of the Laconian Empire! The adventure kicks off when Amos, eager to escape trade negotiations, finds himself entangled in a web of crime and deception that directly impacts him! Now, it’s up to him and the Roci crew to turn the tide!
In addition, the BOOM! Direct Reserve campaign features exclusive variants of each comic in the four-issue series, with options for both softcover and hardcover editions, plus slipcased editions and collectibles that will never be reprinted, available only through this campaign.
