Strip 173 -- First Seen: 2009-05-13
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!

Panel 2
Medium shot of Reggie, Fiorella with her camera, and now Emily, who is still moving towards Reggie, letting go of Babbette's hand as she passes just in front of Ernie.
Reggie: Yes, she will decide whether or not you are to be spared.

Reggie (2): Do you wish to make any statement about the killings of de León and the Rose family?

Panel 3
Medium shot of the defiant Harris. The frightened Young is looking at him.

Harris: Like a denial or an apology or something?

Harris (2): Well, how about this statement:

Panel 4
Looking past Harris towards Bert, Reggie, Emily (now standing between Reggie and Fiorella), Fiorella, Ernie, and Babbette, all looking outraged.

Harris: Hell yes, I ordered them torched!

Harris (2): Well, I'm not denying it, I'm not apologizing.
