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
More or less a repeat of the last panel, although without the shaking. The mobile, if we can see it, is still swaying. Carla looks terrified, Robyn is glancing nervously at the ceiling. Norman looks disdainful.
Norman: Just a slight moon tremor, ladies. We have them all the time.
Norman: Don't worry, the Tower was built to be flexible and sway a bit.

Panel 2
Norman resumes his advance upon Robyn
Robyn: Stay back!
Norman: Hit me with that and you'll find yourself tossed out a lock, trying to breather vacuum.

Panel 3
A loud, almost explosive crack sound comes from the window frame, which is several feet behind Norman. We see a bit of cracking in the glass around the edges. Norman turns to look at it.
SFX: CRACK!!

Panel 4
Seeing her opening, Robyn clubs Norman across the face with her make-shift shingi; a fountain of blood erupts from his nose in all directions.
SFX: Clang!
