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!

In the hearing room, Pablo presents his obiter dicta. We are facing him but can also see the back of Emily's head in the far side of the panel.
Pablo: Emily, did you know that when Anton comes out of the autodoc, he won't be able to walk?
Pablo: The destruction of his spinal column was massive.

Panel 2
Medium close-up of Pablo.
Pablo: After he's decanted, it will take at least twenty decadays before his ability to walk is completely restored.

Panel 3
Medium close-up on Pablo, wearing a stern expression.
Pablo: Now here's the thing that's bothering me, Emily.
Pablo: This is the third person you've intentionally shot dead.

Panel 4
Medium shot of Emily seated, with Madame DeFarge and the audience in the gallery behind her. Emily is starting to weep, and the audience is looking shocked. Madame Defarge is just quietly knitting.
