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 1Still carying Sharkisian, Seamus has moved closer to the door where he encounters Samantha, the furry med-tech. The Beltape is kneeling over the prone body of Copperton, laying fingers alongside his neck to check for a pulse.
Samantha: What --?
Seamus: Your emergency medi-vat! Where is it?
Panel 2
Now out in the hallway, Samantha begins to lead Seamus to the emergency section. Seamus has turned his head to bark commands to the two Beltape orderlies who are now on the scene.
Samantha: This way ...
Seamus: Remove the zing-gun from that man's pocket and secure him for questioning later.
Panel 3
Samantha leads Seamus along the hallway.
Seamus: You might consider alerting the police.
Samantha: No, only an idiot calls the police if he doesn't have to.
Panel 4
Samantha leads Seamus into the emergency section, towards a medi-vat.
Seamus: I leave this planet for 100 years and everything's gone to hell.
Samantha: What's that?
