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 1
William ducks down into the armor, leaving the helmet resting in the neck-hole.
Zondra: Stupid lizard, you think you can hide from me inside that armor?
Zondra: With your shield gone I can easily punch a hole ...
Panel 2
The chest-plate of the armor pops open and William erupts from it, head-butting Zondra in the face and knocking her back. Her sauce-pan ‘helmet’ goes flying.
SFX: SPRANG!
SFX: CHOK!
Panel 3A
Split panel: In the first part, close-up on Zondra’s feet slipping in the food-mess on the floor.
SFX: SLIPP!!
Panel 3B
In the second part, Zondra falls back onto the overturned table, conking her noggin on the edge
SFX: BONK!
Panel 4
William quickly coils himself around the dazed Zondra
William: Hello.
William: My name is William. Francisco. Inigo. Montoya.
Panel 5
He squeezes her hard, unable to breathe, her face turns a reddish-purple ash she frantically struggles against his coils.
William: You … mmf! -- killed my father. Prepare to die!
Panel 6
Zondra falls limp, her face now ash-grey. William looks behind him at the order window with the on-lookers. One of them blurts out the punch-line.
