Well, looks like Zik is stuck on an alien world. Good thing he’s got friends who can bail him out! Even in the future, your connections are your most valuable asset. Having a pair of rail pistols at your side doesn’t hurt, either.
Nothing like a snarky computer! Will Zik land okay? What are the natives of this planet like? Will we be able to fry eggs on the hull of Zik’s ship? Stay tuned!
And here is the title page for the first episode of Zik! Thanks for coming along for the ride so far! Stay tuned because things are about to heat up for our intrepid hero!
And yes, this page is an homage to Calvin and Hobbes. Spaceman Spiff is definitely a major influence on this comic.
This does not bode well for relations between Zoz and Zernabia. The second ship hits the first, as Zik looks on in regret at a situation that spiraled out of control very quickly!
Don’t try to back someone from Zoz into a corner! Especially not Zik!
It’s hard to read in the web version, but the words on the targeting computer read “Railguns Armed.” In the print version it should be easier to read. Yes, I plan on publishing Zik’s adventures in a book eventually.. in fact, they’re now available in the menu above!
Some things never change! Who knows if those guys understand it, but I think they can guess the intent! It’s not the best way to engage in diplomacy, but then neither is initiating communications with a series of deadly plasma blasts.
Well, not only are these new beings human, they’re pretty selfish about claiming open space as their own. Unless that’s their planet Zik was heading to? They’re a bit short on explanations and long on plasma bolt attacks!
I’d like to extend a special thank you to two of the nicest people in webcomics, Raven Perez and Adam Black, for plugging Zik on their websites over the past weekend. I’ve received a huge influx of readers because of those two guys, and I’m very grateful. I hope everyone is enjoying the story so far!
See you Thursday when we’ll see just how Zik is going to handle these space cops!
