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 2304
Panel 1Jerome Falstaff and Bok are walking through a concourse. A few other people about, but not crowded. Half of the shops are closed.They pass by a display promoting the Resposta Ciudadana (Citizen Response) put together by Stouder et al.
Caption: Elsewhere in the city:
Bok: More than a third of these shops are closed!
Bok: Just a few cycles ago this place was thriving.
Jerome: Yeah, bombings tend to scare people away from gathering-places.
Panel 2
The pair continue onward through the concourse. They pass by a display promoting the Resposta Ciudadana (Citizen Response) put together by Stouder et al.
Bok: ‘Citizen Response’? I’ve been seeing this all over the place.
Jerome: Yeah, it developed while you were out chasing Montoya.
Panel 3
They walk by one shop that is still damaged from a recent fire.
Bok: This is awful. Haven’t the Pillars been able to get a handle on who’s doing this?
Jerome: They’ve kicked that ball down to the minor leagues.
Bok: The minor who?
Panel 4
As they walk into the distance we see a plain-looking woman carrying a backpack walking into the foreground. Another citizen is approaching from the other side of the panel, farther back
Jerome: The lesser sphere-owners. They’ve organized their own citizen-militia, of sorts.
Bok: In competition with Demônios de Combate? How is Kāng taking that?
Jerome: He hasn’t said a word about it. I’m betting he’s livid.
