Alice Grove: A new webcomic by Jeph Jacques of QC

I wonder how Alice and Sedna both managed to go thousands of years and evidently never even hear about Church until now.

They're going to run into something they can't handle down there. Church will try and handle it and it'll tear him into tiny bits.

And then Ardent will befriend it.

Alice specifically did recognise Church, though she didn't know everything about him.

And the implication has been that most of the supersoldiers (which seems to be what they are) have settled into limited patterns/habits over the last few thousand years - Alice looking after one small community, Sedna wandering round a small-ish circuit and collecting guns, and Church maybe looking for local dictators who'll give his life its intended purpose as a Psycho for Hire. And if those limited ranges don't overlap, they just don't meet.

It's a smart question, it's also smarter not to let Pate have any more knowledge then he already has.

a thing

I think this is a thing, but I don't know much about thingology. I'm gonna call a buddy of mine, have him take a look.

Yes, this is definitely a thing. Looks like it dates from before the apocalypse.

I'll give you ten bucks for it.

A spaceshippy thing.

Oh, shut up, you smirking bastard.

"What's a britiin?" is my new fav qoute from this comic.

the touchy thing

whispers it looks kind of like a butt......

Not surprising that Alice and company don't need space suits but interesting nonetheless. I wonder if Gavia would have needed one if she still had her nanites.

It's a completely blind guess but I would guess yes since Ardent does too. Her nanites let her do amazing things but she's still not baseline (which as far as we can tell means ordinary human). Really, we don't fully know what she in her current state is capable of. Nor do we know what Alice, Gavia and Mr. Church are capable of. My best guess is they were some sort of soldiers left over from before the Blink.

Alice's traumatic memories and built-in battle armour, and Sedna's fond recollections of military hardware, certainly suggest left-over super soldiers, yes. And I mean, they do rather demonstrate specifically appropriate skill sets.

I had this whole massive, rambling dream last night, and in one part I dreamt that there was an Alice Grove strip where Sedna was revealed to be Alice's mother.

Just like home!

It's a Hist.

Made me think of a Starbase.

Pfft, that's clearly Groot.

.......that's a bad sign.

No, It's Groot's mom.

Functionally you're probably right.

AG is on a break for convention stuff and "secret plans".

Dun dun DUN.

"Dun dun DUN" should be a trope, but I gotta go to work in a bit, so I'm not looking it up.
