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

Solid black. No dialog

Panel 2
We are in Guy’s hotel room, looking through his eyes as he lies in bed. You might create rounded, blackened corners in the panel to denote that we are looking through opening eyes. We see the lower part of Guy’s body in the bed; a dresser and mirror, and to one side, Fiorella sleeping in a chair.


Guy (feebly): -- Fiorella?

Panel 3
Switch views. Now we see Guy laying on the bed. He has a small IV tube leading from a vein in his left arm up to a small (approx 10cm cubed) box sitting on the nightstand on that side. Fiorella is now at his right side, her hand on his right arm and looking at him affectionately.

Fiorella: My hero awakes.

Guy: H-how long was I out?



Panel 4
A bit closer in on Fiorella and Guy, same pose.

Fiorella: A little more than a day.

Fiorella (2): That leak created a blood-blister, which burst. Lorna said you lost almost a liter before we reached the air-lock.
