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!

Panel 1Jorge and Kofi. In the background we see some billowing smoke, near the double-doors.
Jorge: Your grandson, Dominic, says he has a plan to deal with another one of these … ah … relativistic missiles, but ...
SFX (not at all softly now): wheEZE-rnup wheEZE-rnup
Kofi: What the hell -? Did someone light a fire?
Panel 2
Alyss sits with arms crossed between an alarmed Enrique and Lorelei.
SFX (fairly loud now): wheEZE-rnup wheEZE-rnup … Kr-whump!
Alyss: No need for alarm, folks. One of the favors I called-in.
Alyss: He does like to make dramatic entrances.
Panel 3
Tall panel
A large cylinder, still surrounded by smoke, has materialized near the doorway. A door in the cylinder has opened, and Hugo Galvéz has stepped out, with Murphy emerging behind him.
Hugo: Hullo, I'm Doctor Hugo Galvéz and this is my companion, Murphy.
Murphy: Doctor Murphy.
Hugo: Yes, quite. I must speak with whoever's in charge here.
