Story & Art: Scott Bieser - Colors: Lea Jean Badelles
Sci-Fi Adventure Monday & Thursday.
To boldly go where no manic pixie dream girl has gone before.
Quantum Vibe
A thousand years in the future, humanity has colonized worlds in nearly 100 galaxies, thanks to Quantum Vibremonic technologies developed five centuries earlier. Other new technologies have created various off-shoots of humanity and extended life expectancies five-fold. The story begins with how a mad scientist and his plucky assistant, along with their robot friend, brought humanity to the stars, and continues with the adventures of some unique people in fantastic places.
What Comes Next [ Mar 18, 2024 ]
The war is over, but This Means War has a ways to go. Novo Paolo/Bubbleopolis is still in a nebula/stellar nursery, no one knows what happened to the planet Sharen (center of the Intergalactic Council), and the status of the now-surrendered Invaders is yet to be resolved. What will they do when they learn their homeworld is basically destroyed? Will Alyss and Li be re-united? How about Diana (the real one) and Otto?
These questions will be resolved in the next few weeks, before This Means War part 3 wraps in late May.
After that, I plan to go BACK in time about 400 years, to when Alyss and Li left their home in the Sol System to colonize a new world on the far side of the galaxy. As one might expect, hijinks ensue. New subtitle yet to be determined, start date sometime in around the start of July. Stay tuned!
Transcript For Strip 1619
Panel 1Another three-shot of Shlack with Hugo and Murphy
Hugo: Excuse me, Captain, but did you say, 'Commies'?
Shlack: They call their empire the United Community of Sapients, yes?
Shlack: Like they think they're smarter than anyone else.
Panel 2
Shift angle so we can see the ship's navigator in the foreground, with Shlack, Hugo and Murphy behind.
Navigator: Captain, we have completed our updated tracking.
Navigator: We now have best courses plotted between the comet and the nearest metallic asteroids.
Captain. Very good, Lieutenant. Let's re-fuel from this comet first before proceeding.
Panel 3
Back to 3-shot of Shrack, Hugo and Murphy.
Shlack: So anyway, Community – Communist – Commie. When we're not referring to the dominant species, that is.
Murphy (thoughtsend): Is this important?
Hugo (thoughtsend): Most likely not. Just a weird coincidence.
