Seekers of Science to launch Vol 2 on KICKSTARTER
Two former hosts of Mythbusters are hitting Kickstarter to launch the second volume of their STEM-focused comic series, Seekers of Science, on March 30th.
It's time to tackle real-world issues across 2 volumes with writer Todd Black (Guardians, Home, 10,000 Miles) and artist/letterer Alex Garcia. Seekers of Science utilizes real-life science to solve real problems, such as oil spills, bug infestations, and more, featuring Tamara Robertson and Dr. Tracy Fanara.
After self-funding for seven issues, the team has decided to make the move to Kickstarter to offer several rewards, such as:
- Thank you messages from the team
- Getting drawn into the comic
- Getting copies donated to schools + much more!
During the comic’s run, over a million copies of SOS have been donated to science camps, comic cons, and more.

About Tamara Robertson
After spending a decade in Corporate Engineering Tamara noted a lack of women walking through the doors so in 2015, she transitioned full time to outreach in hopes of inspiring more young women to pursue S.T.E.M. Careers. It was during this time that she was given the opportunity to battle it out for a chance to join the Mythbusters Legacy where her lifetime as a tinkerer and collector of skills landed her as the only Female Finalist and 2 MVP winner. Since then has become one of the leading Female Engineers and Science Hosts on the Science Channel lending her talents to Scijinks with Johnny Galecki, Mythbusters 2.0 with Brian Louden and Jon Lung and most recently on Mythbusters Jr. with Adam Savage.
