A recent webcomic was found by me while bouncing through websites. There are a few strips in, but already it has me interested enough that I want to get a few more readers in there. So let’s see what little we know about…
Here’s how the about page describes the comic.
Zapped away as a teenager from her home era of 52 BC, Cleopatra VII found herself in the middle of a centuries’ long war in the far, far, really far, far future. Now she fights alongside P.Y.R.A.M.I.D. (Pharaoh Yasiro’s Research And Military Initiative of Defense), both human and alienkind’s only hope against the evil Xaius Octavian.
An ancient carving prophesizes that Cleopatra is destined to become the savior of the galaxy; finally freeing its worlds from the tyrannical rule of the technologically advanced Xerx race. With help from her best friend and teacher, Khensu, Cleo is learning what it takes to be the great leader she is destined to become while still trying to figure out how she’s ever going to pass military school, deal with her crush on the most popular boy in class, avoiding curfew, and all of the other important things that come with being a seventeen-year-old future queen of the universe.
But first she has to complete her latest mission…
Cleopatra in Spaaaace is the brainchild of Mike Maihack, and so far looks like a joyride in ink. From the author:
I’m really excited about this new comic. It’s something I’ve been working on for a while now and I plan to stick with it for the long haul. It’s going to contain a lot of the same humor you’ve all come to expect from (Cow and Buffalo, one of his other comics) and you’ll even find that the two comics are connected in ways you might not expect.
Give it a read. It may be a “Saturday Night Showcase” someday.
