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!
Transcript For Strip 2087
Panel 1Bok is having a restaurant lunch with Zander, and also Lupin and Sargon (from Volume 4: Venus 23) as Elric hurries in to join them.
Bok: Elric! Glad you could join us after all.
Elric: Sorry I'm late, I've been unbelievably busy these days.
Panel 2
Elric takes a seat between Lupin and Sargon.
Lupin: Busy? I hear a lot of businesses are struggling to stay open, with all this uncertainty.
Elric: Funny thing is, Lupin, when you destroy thousands of buildings, people want to replace them.
Panel 3
More chatter
Sargon: Replace the buildings? The destroyed borvonite spheres are still being re-grown.
Bok: Sargon, I would imagine most owners want the replacements to be beefed-up, stronger, heat-resistant, etc.
Bok: That means new designs.
Panel 4
More chatter
Elric: Exactly so, Bok. Not everyone is a pessimist.
Elric: I only made journeyman architect a few cycles ago and Senhor Mackelmor has dumped a hundred projects on me.
Lupin: So, Elric old chum, since you're prospering I don't suppose you'll be picking up the tab for this lunch?
