Strip 961 -- First Seen: 2012-05-23
Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

Halfway there!

The Kickstarter campaign to print the next volume of Quantum Vibe: Novo Palermo - Part 1 is now halfway to our goal. We need your help getting the rest of the way there. Tell your friends, family members, and your pets to back our campaign.

Every little bit helps! The campaign ends midnight (US central time) November 18. So there's still time to get the word out, or maybe add another item to your current pledge.

Your reward for backing our campaign starts with a personalized signed copy of the perfect bound printed collection of the online strip. You may also choose the ebook edition, a PDF downloadable from DriveThruComics.

And back by popular demand, coasters, magnets and stickers. Click on the art on the left, to go to our campaign page where you can back our campaign.

QV on a short break

QUANTUM VIVE is taking a break for a few weeks, as we prepare for Part 2 of the Novo Palermo story, and also for a Kickstarter campaign for Part 1, which will start in September.

In the meantime, Not-Safe.Space will continue, as a murder mystery begins and the relationship between Eithne and Diana develops in unexpected directions.

Not-Safe.Space is a NSFW strip but more than half the pages are SFW so I've set those to *not* require a Patreon membership. Readers should be able to follow the story without seeing the NSFW pages. If I've done this right.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Leon looks tired and irriated as he speaks.
Leon: First, I am not stealing anything. I—or rather Iron Flames—owns the ISS.
Takahashi (OP from screen): Impossible!
Panel 2
Small panel. View of Takahashi looking livid in the screen.
Leon (OP): No General, Iron Flames was hired to... dispose of the ISS, and that is what we are doing.
Panel 3
Leon lecturing to the screen.
Leon: If you will read the agreement your government, and all the treaty members' governments signed, you will see a clause that, for liability reason, gave legal title to Iron Flames.
Panel 4
Takahashi furiously talks back.
Takahashi: Mr. Ball, this is an act of piracy, of terrorism.
Takahashi: We cannot--we will not let you leave orbit. If you try, we will destroy you.
