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 1
Wide panel. Aboard the Airship H-82, Babbette and Reggie stroll along the main promenade. On the left, various lounges and dining areas. On the right, a gently curved wall filled with a row of large windows overlooking the landscape below. 1930s-style décor. Plenty of people milling about.

Babbette: Something has got you thinking. What is it?

Panel 3
Medium close-up on Reggie. Leave room for dialog.
Reggie: There are some rumors I'd like to chase down, and Sunnyvale seems like the place to start.
Reggie: What say we head down to the South Pole now and do some snooping?

Panel 4
Full 2-shot of Reggie and Babbette at the window. They are holding hands as they both gaze out over the paraterraformed crater.
