Dark plans fall like thunderbolts.
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!

Colón: First we need to beef up our defenses so another strike like this will fail.
Caption: Enrique Colón
Panel 2
Focus on Kofi, next to Colón. He's speaking to Verma, who we see from high and behind.
Kofi: How soon can we double the perimeter outposts?
Caption: Kofi Akosah
Verma (OP): In about 10 days. But that won't do much good.
Kofi: Why not?
Panel 3
Include Verma and Kāng, flanked by Martello and Montoya
Kāng: Because a two-megaton iron 'space-turd' coming in at 9/10ths of light-speed would blow right through anything we might throw at it to stop it.
Panel 4
Martello smiles, leans back in his chair
Martello: Gennelmens, I recommend you set up those extra perimeter stations, pronto.
Martello: I have an idea how we can deal with any more high-speed turds, iron or otherwise.
Martello: I just need a one-minute warning.
