PAGE EIGHTEEN. Interior commercial freightlifter TK-421. First, since it’s still technically Thursday in parts of the U.S., Happy Thanksgiving! When the first colonists settled Mars in 2128, they celebrated their first year’s algae harvest with a feast. And though their hab unit violently depressurized later that evening, most Martians continue to honor their ill-fated celebration to this day….
I know I say this every week, but I absolutely love this page. First, and this is admittedly my fault as the writer, we’ve seen quite a bit of brooding and anger from the girls. This week, however, Nic gets to show our heroines having some fun; relaxing. I think the panel with Sam laughing is great. Second, Vexx’s vibro-blade came out perfectly. It is the right amount of baroque combined with the right amount of techno.
This week’s music pairing comes from Nic:
“Jardin de Cecile from ‘Juno Reactor’. It’s got a very nice electronic-alien vibe, and I actually inked and coloured this listening to it.”
Finally, I said last week I would list a few of the webcomics I’ve been reading regularly. I’m probably like many of you and I tend to go back and read online comics once a month, but these comics have definitely kept me coming back. In no particular order:
Spy 6 Teen
If you liked Buffy (or any other Joss Whedon show for that matter), you’ll dig this comic. Tim Simmons does a great job keeping this genre fresh. This is a great example of art and story working together.
Girls in Space
It is hard to describe James Spence’s sci-fi comedy. I like to think that Samantha from SG would read this comic and love it.
The Horror of Colony 6

The guys at Webcomic Factory do some great work. They are naffing prolific as well. And while I read most of the site’s offerings, I am a total sucker for sci-fi horror. It has some great atmosphere and B movie quality to it. Is that Vincent Price?

Sir, I thank you for your Girls in Space comments. Coming from a man of your considerable talent, it is high praise indeed. I’ve been meaning to add your comic to my links page for a while. This has been a good reminder!
Thanks!
Nice Sword!!
Hey Dave!
Thanks for the plug, bro! Stop in anytime! We got a new message board. Feel free to plug!
Sir, I started reading this almost from inception, and I have to say, I’m loving the artwork and the setting. Bit too early to say how much I’ll like the story, but I have high hopes.
A master-crafetd weapon eh?
Thanks very much for the shout out!! It’s really awesome being in the company of other really awesome and creative webcomics!
It’s one of those things that I think works so…errr…wonderfully with Project wonderful– I’m not sure I would have found Sisters Grimm if not for it.
You guys consistently put out quality work– and I love the idea of 14 page “Tracks”– I tend to think that’s a great number for webcomic “issues”–
DAVE!
There is going to be some wild things we have planned and I am always trying to improve the art on every page.
Thanks for mentioning the HORROR that you have witnessed
TK-421? Is it known for abandoning its post?
I’m sure someone’s made that joke already, but I’m new here. :*>
Nice. Thanks for getting the joke/reference. I was beaten to the punch though. If you happen to watch ’30 Rock’, the GE microwave division’s latest model was the TK 421.
One more reason to watch the show.
Also, just for the record, the art and writing on this comic are both top-notch. Here’s to a long and satisfying run for your project! **raises glass**
