Latest blog post: Redraw of chapter 1 is happening (2024-05-11)
Author's comment:
Goodbye, Jupiter. I don't think we'll see you in this comic ever again.
Another chapter ends... And you know what this means?! I did it! My milestone! I was able to keep updating the comic without interruption for more than a whole year!
Though, with this, I'm going to take a hiatus. The next chapter is a FINAL one, and I'll need to gather up my thoughts, make final touchups to the story... But also, honestly, to recharge a bit. Before the Final Push, I need to get my shit together. See you soon, in a couple of months! I'll try to post some new extras meanwhile, and draw more of the first chapter remake.

i kinda want a 3D model of the Dawn, maybe for 3D printing? or just looking at online or in blender?
Well done! Looking forward to the concluding chapter when you are ready, and to future masterworks of sequential art.
Jupiter: [comes a-knockin' after the fleet to demand its Hephrene back]
Jupiter in Cockney slang ; "Thats a nice little fleet U got there ..Ey? ....Would be a shame if somebody ´accidentally´ bumped into it , Ey ? So maybe you should pay for some protection to avoid inconvenient Trouble...Ey?"
Fleet ; "uuhmmm"..
It'll be interesting to see how Earth handles this. Will they let the Raharr just show up in orbit and transmit a message to all Earth or fly down to the UN assembly and give a speech to all members and the world there as the first introduction? Or will leaders announce it all in advance so people can get accustomed to it but also speculate wildly as the Dawn approaches?
With luck they recorded the meeting at the UN Security council and will be able to transmit that around.
I don't doubt that humanity as a whole can tolerate the impact of first contact. But I expect there's a good chance some people, groups and maybe even small nations, will panic.
On a side note, I wonder where all the support ships are. I guess its possible they've already departed ahead of the Dawn. I didn't think they could all dock with the dawn at once but maybe I underestimated the Dawn't docking capacity.
Most people would be happy for an unspectacular first contact and it disproves horror szenarios like the dark forest hypothesis.
*A* final one??
yes...Final as in final for only "1 contact incident" ?
Or final as in "all of it". Since chapters have been between 25 and 40 pages long there is not much room to wrap up all that is implied in the Wiki I would think ?
(Please see the comments on blog entry 17 for how Darth defines dividing lines ...)
More likely "Final of the Volume One".
They do not average, they just get bigger and bigger ^^"
This one was 60 pages; Chapter 7 will be at least as long, I think.
As long as they get bigger, I can asure you nobody shall complain =)
And thx so far for the effort. Saves my entire monday since 1 year.
So, a couple months before we'll find out how good human in-story radars and telescopes really are (read: Whether people on Earth will go "OMG their main vessels are that much larger than their shuttles and that lone cruiser in Earth-Moon L4?!? "), gotcha.
Congrats on the stoned mile, and wishing you a good recharge, with someone other than cpt. Kas controlling the supply on the other end of the cable.
You mean it is heading for Earth Orbit ? well Zane said so much earlier so yes I think the fleet is moving towards "INVADE EARTH!" mode....If this was a B movie.
So now Gharr is parked at Dan´s house and I am awaiting a "Feed my Alien" thread on Crowfunding, since he seems to eat quite a lot. =)
"Visit the City of N, the planet's new capital of flying
saucerspizzas!"It's been a great ride so far!
