Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

What Comes Next

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!

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Ed and Chang still talking in front of the Hotel.
Ed: Black Mamba! That doesn't sound very politically correct.
Chang: You mean her color? No, that has nothing to do with it.

Panel 2
Looking at Chang, but also looking over his shoulder at a flash-back image of Rhonda in her low-cut dress, whipping around behind Carlos.
Chang: Did you notice how fast she took that kid down that first night?
Chang: She has unnaturally fast reflexes, and can run like a greyhound. Some say it's illegal augmentation.

Panel 3
Similar view of Chang, now over his shoulder are images of a black mamba snake, and the 'Mamba' pistol from South Africa
Chang: The black mamba is the fastest snake in the world.
Chang: Hell, she likes the name so much she bought one of those 'Mamba' pistols from South Africa. Had hers blued 'til it was black.
