Story & Art: Scott Bieser - Sci-Fi Adventure Monday & Thursday.
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.
Not Safe [ Apr 24, 2022 ]
Starting Monday 4-25-2022, with part 3 of QUANTUM VIBE: This Means War, each strip installment has been extended to have six panels rather than four. We believe this will enable a smoother, fuller story flow for the reader. We will also be limiting uploads of QUANTUM VIBE to one installment per week so Scott has time to develop a new spin-off strip, Not-Safe.
Not-Safe will be a NSFW strip set in the Assimulation galaxy depicted in Volume 5, with Eithne Lamdagan as the central character. Our hope is it will bring in enough money so Scott can hire a colorist again and he can start producing more QUANTUM VIBE strips. More info coming soon.
Transcript For Strip 2308
Panel 1A pair of silhouetted heads are reviewing a video recording of the previous scene. One head has close-cropped black hair, the other is bald.
Caption: Not long afterward:
Bald guy: Did the woman identify who supplied the bomb?
Black hair guy: No. She was just a mule, didn’t know anything useful.
Panel 2
Reverse angle, now we can see that Bald Guy is Kāng and Black Hair Guy is Sergio Cooper.
Sergio: Ro-Jo named a source and we’re checking that out, but ...
Sergio: … we don’t yet have enough information to get a warrant from an arb.
Kāng: And yet Stouder’s crew were able to get wind of the plot and intercept the package.
Panel 3
Kāng and Cooper
Cooper: We have to stand by the Charter or there’s not much point defending this city. Still, we’re closing in on the hubs of this terrorist network and have already made some arrests.
Cooper: So, how is the combat-support group shaping up?
Kāng: {Sigh} Not as well as I’d hoped.
Panel 4
Kāng and Cooper
Kāng: Half the volunteers are raw, in dire need of the most basic training.
Kāng: The other half are veterans of several different outfits and we have to un-train all their bad habits.
Kāng: But the LARPers, they’re the worst.
Cooper: Tell me about it.
