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!
Panel 1
In the middle-ground, Diana and Wook are looking anxiously at the prostrate Belbenoit, whose lower half we can see in the right foreground. Wook is extending a protective arm in front of Diana.
Diana: Oh, fuck. Did you kill him?
Wook: I don't think so. Please stay behind me.
Panel 2
Diana and Wook are standing guardedly closer to Belbenoit, who is now fully in the frame. He's motionless, we can't see his eyes.
Diana: He's not moving.
Wook: He's still between us and our flyer.
Diana: Maybe we can just maneuver around him?
Panel 3
Two-shot of Diana and Wook, arguing with each other (and not looking at Belbenoit).
Wook: If he is critically injured we should call for paramedics.
Diana: He grabbed me! You defended me. We don't owe him jack.
Wook: No, but it would look better if there's an arb about this.
Panel 4
Same shot as Panel 2, but Belbenoit is missing, and Diana and Wook are just noticing.
Diana: Yikes! Where'd he go?
Wook: Well …
Wook: … it's a relief to know I didn't kill him.
