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
Scene is a bistro named Chez Trief. Bert is meeting with Ed Turner over lunch. They are sitting near a window which affords a view of the plaza. Bert is eating lobster with a side of sauteed grasshoppers; Ed is having rat stew with a side of coagulated pig's blood. Between them is a plate of deep fried meal worms.
Caption: Chez Trief, a bistro on the Place de la Concorde, only serves cuisine that was taboo in one culture or another.
Bert: So Ed, you see what's going on here, and you were in the middle of whatever it was that went down at the Iron Rock. Care to share any insights?

Panel 2
Looking over Bert's shoulder at Ed, who is spooning up a bite from his rat stew.
Ed: The UW has not forgotten us.
Ed: I'm sure you've been following their financial problems.

Panel 3
Switch view to looking over Ed's shoulder at Bert.
Bert: You mean the impending economic collapse?
Ed: Yeah, probably so.
