If you were wondering what buddies made the string for Threvi’s leash
For Patrons, a new creature entry is up for these dangly dudes, as well as the previous creature entry for the angry big ones. Over the weekend I also made a shoptalk post about another current project of mine which is in production… This is first in a loose series I’m doing to reflect upon and record all of the new ̶m̶i̶s̶t̶a̶k̶e̶s̶ skills I’ll be learning in the next few months.
These pages are going a bit more slowly than I’d like thanks to all the stupid little deets, but will try to have the next page for tomorrow? we’ll see!
Hugo Noms are opening soon to previously-registered Worldcon Members, and if you’d consider nominating the eligible chapter from 2017, I would be extremely grateful.
I’ll be keeping this image up as long as this diaphanous dream drifts within me (ie until noms open/ close)

aaaa fuk this
Is the cavalry here? What just slammed into what? Good luck, Bex and Fungus Hobo! :C
Mike redirected the big bug into the tentacle mouth thing Bex was fighting with his punch. Its not on their side.
No wait the legs are all wrong for that. Please ignore previous post.
Terran super strength!
Yeah, hoping thats Kalla who just smashed in there like a boss.
Oh, just some Spider-pedes. That’s fine.
Spider-feet? Now I’m imagining something that has spiders for feet.
Tch, they’re clearly Locust-lobites.
IIII don’t like those buddies…
One thing’s for sure — Kalla sure does know how to make an entrance!
POW! Right in the ksssss-er!
(And I think I spy a dainty wollarian elbow…)
Bex’s expression in that last panel… priceless!
I hope that Kalla has come to save them. I don’t think the processor would attempt to kill a Martian. There’s probably some programming similar to Asimov’s Three Laws.
I thought the processor had killed Kalla countless times already. Aren’t those her bones scattered everywhere?
How would that exclude Kalla from coming again? This time she gets to fight as part of a team!
Probably die again, but hey.
Kalla? Is that you?
OH thank heaven when I saw that first panel I thought everyone was on the same plane and the scorpion things were GIGANTIC
Me too. I almost had to re-start my heart!
Kaaaaaalla??
AND KALLA COMES IN WITH A RIGHT HOOK!
*Crowd goes wild*
I imagine Wollaria are good at tackling. Dat bony(?) crest probably makes a good battering ram.
And for your entertainment tonight, the 7th Martian Eurypterid Paratrooper Battalion will perform ‘Death From Above.’
Ha, nice hit, Mike! Nice tackle, (supposedly) Kalla! Looks like Bex accounted for on of the bigger guys too!
I LOVE THEM, I love these amblypigid x trilobite friends <3
Land crabs, in all honesty
No matter how much he works out, I wonder how much muscle power Michael lost compared to when on earth. Nonetheless that gotta pack a big punch~
How rude! Going stright for the kisses when they don’t know eachother! Those spider-kabutops-trilobite friends are true creeps
And (possibly?) Kalla comes to the rescue! This team definetly needed a tank, and with LEVi the have a tactician as well!
Haha, I just love how Mike goes for the good ‘ol fashioned punch to the face. Nothing beats simple.
haha, yeah… someone wondered in the last page what weapon he would pick up, they gave him a bit too much credit there.
Why wouldn’t he? I mean, have you seen his arms?
Aaaaaa CENTIPEDES. Why does it have to be CENTIPEDES. I sincerely believe that anyone who is not phobic of those things needs to explain themselves. Eggghh.
Looks like Levi has had a growth spurt.
And Kalla came with naturally
Given the similarity of these bugs to certain trilobites and sea scorpions, perhaps the last Martian garbage dump sent to earth was at the time of the Ediacaran-Cambrian boundary, 550 million years ago? And there were a bunch of little mites and worms in that cargo of garbage that thrived and colonized Earth …
Yeah, I know the larger pattern of the floor, but it sure looks like X marks the spot for all incoming attackers.
Gotta give Mike some credit, it’s pretty impressive that his reaction response to giant hostile trilobite is to punch it right in the mandibles.
For reals! I’m impressed.
And his face in panel 2 is like… The most relatable he’s been so far, for me! Least as an adult
Maybe their disruptions to the program are causing it to ‘glitch’.
OK well consider me sufficiently creeped out.
