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 1The cab bearing Nicole and Seamus soars with other traffic along a skyway heading towards the city's hub, magnificent skyscrapers towering in the middle distance.

Seamus: We check into our hotel, and prepare for a dinner date with an old friend.
Panel 2
Two-shot of Nicole and Seamus in the cab.
Nicole: On your scale, how old is an 'old friend?'

Panel 3
Another 2-shot of Nicole and Seamus in the cab.
Seamus: He is also a financial partner in this project.
Seamus: I want to touch base with him, and, not incidentally, show you off a bit.
Panel 4

Nicole (from cab): Show me off, huh? Should I put on some rainbow glitter?
