Read >> Quantum Vibe by Scott Bieser, published by Big Head Press. Panel 1 Exterior view of the L5-City.
It is an enormous, jumbled complex of artificial habitats orbiting at the Terra-Luna Lagrange 5 point. Caption: L5-City Nicole (from somewhere in the City): No, Mom, I'm still working at Audio-Chrome. Panel 2 Inside a concourse within one of the city habitats. A dazzling, almost incomprehensible jumble of shapes, platforms, railings, and people (themselves often of weird shapes) some of whom are flying through the open spaces in their Bubbs. Somewhere in the midst of this is Nicole, riding in her Bubb. Panel 3 Full-length shot of Nicole gliding along in her Bubb. Panel 4 Medium close-up on Nicole, her hand aside her face, rolling her eyes in annoyance. Panel 5 Full-length shot of Nicole flying away from us, into what looks like a major traffic zone of flying Bubbs – something like an aerial turnpike, with no pedestrians.
Panel 7 Medium close-up on Nicole, she's grimmacing and has her eyes shut for a moment as she contains her frustration. Webcomics of interest. In no particular order: Serial Strips Leftover Soup -- M/W/F.
