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
Establishing shot of Emily and Anton sit in Anton's living room. Emily is looking sad and Anton is being friendly.
Anton: Emily, stop beating yourself up.
Anton: I've reviewed the video of your trial. You thought you were protecting—or maybe avenging—your friend, Libby. I cannot fault you for that.
Panel 2
Close-up of Emily, looking even more remorseful.
Anton (OP): There is one thing, though.
Panel 3
Close-up of Anton, forgiving.
Anton: The thing is, I think Sv Rosenberg did the right thing when he put you to work in Sherwood Forest.
Anton: You needed the light of life here, to replace the shadows of death inside you.
Panel 4
Anton puts his hand over Emily's, encouragingly.
Anton: I see you know it's true.
Anton: I have a business proposal for you. I want you to be my partner in a business that offers life as its only product.
