Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

On Their Way....

This is a message for the IGG QV9 backers! For those of you who ordered physical perks, they are on their way via USPS. For those of you who selected one or more of the PDF perks, you should have received an email from DriveThruComics.com. That email contains links to the vouchers you need to download your copy of the PDF you requested.

If you haven't seen it yet, be sure to check your spam folder. If you still can't find the email from DriveThruComics, let us know and we'll get the links you need.

Signing and Shipping

Scott has finished autographing all the books, and we've started shipping them out. Your physical perks should show up in the next week or so (might be a bit longer for international shipments). We expect to send out vouchers (via email) to those who wanted the PDF e-books.

Once again, many thanks to our backers. Stand by for further updates.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Two-shot of Reggie and Ken. Reggie is waving a hand in gesture as he makes his objection.

Reggie: But Ken, those weren't just any songs, they were the same song.

Ken: There are mathematical rules to music, Reggie, just as there are to physics.

Panel 2
Looking over Ken's shoulder at Dr. Peña.

Ken (to Peña): I think if you examine wind velocity and directions around the Array, you will see a lot of repeating patterns...

Peña: Yes, there are ...

Panel 3
Medium shot of Peña, his chance to be professorial.

Peña: … but they are chaotically complex and only fractally repetitive.

Peña: We did an exhaustive site study before we constructed the Array.

Panel 4
This panel is showing what Peña is talking about. It's the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, a suspension bridge twisting around like a thing possessed and pulling itself apart.

Narration (Peña): 'Martian air is thin but if it subjected the Array support structures to simple harmonic resonance, it could eventually blow down the Array.'

Narration (Peña): 'Something like that caused the Tacoma Narrows Bridge failure.'
