To view the full-size version, left-click the image once, then right-click and open in a new tab/view. At least that seems to work for some people.
They would deny it because they didn't. Remember Deus's shopping trip?
I was getting a little bored of drawing Max's face with her boring bun sitting in the booth, so I tried a close up in those first two panels for a little variety, but then I wanted it to be obvious she was reading Deus's list of goodies, and now it kind of looks like she's nearsighted. She's not. I guess she's... looking at the fine print?
Granted, a boring bun is a lot easier to draw than a bunch of wavy locks spilling all over her shoulders, but buns are about the least sexy thing you can do with long hair (besides white person dreads). The only thing buns are really good for is taking your hair out of said bun and then doing the slo-mo hair toss.
Not that anything military is designed to be sexy. I do think it's weird that women are allowed to wear their hair long though. Aren't the two major points of having short hair easy maintenance and not giving an enemy something to grab on to? Granted, the US military doesn't tend to throw women at the front line so, I guess it doesn't matter if a woman has shoulder length hair while manning a radar station. Still, if I was a woman in the military, I'd get the G.I. Jane and would throw all the other female recruits around by the hair while sparring until they all went buzz cut, or more likely, they'd all pile on me and do that thing where they beat you up with bars of soap. Or whatever the modern equivalent is. Soaking tampons in pepper spray or something.
The loose bun, however - potentially very sexy. Also quite a bit harder to draw. There's probably some correlation there.
What was I talking about? Oh, right, the comic. Anyway, Deus's shopping trip might have seemed like an unnecessary ordeal in retrospect, but it's not like he could have predicted that an advanced alien race would be in need of a parking spot when he set up his like not-a-stargate. Plus, it puts him in a better bargaining position with the Alari, because he's not as thirsty for their tech.

Did Loralara make the bacon say it's name?

I love long hair on women, the longer the better. It always annoys me when an artist establishes a female character as having long hair, then cuts it short(usually for some asinine reason).

Oh Deus, a call for you from the space police on line two. Something about illegally purchasing goods for a pre-interstellar planet?

What's with Deus scar I go back through the comic and it seems to change with his mood - duh! Just answered my own question - of course a trillionare like Deus would have a mood scar. After all he has practically one of everything else.

It's been brought up quite a few times over the years.

Up until a Super-Maxima level (what's beyond Penumbrate? Umbrate?) threat to the world and his response to it reveals his true colors...

I've never noticed before that her skin is that reflective. Nice.
Etienne M.J. Dubourg
I really like Deus. Just hoping he'll stay in this highly suspicious grey area instead of being revealed as a full-blow antagonist/supervillain.

Are you sure ASF-X.2a wasnβt on Elon Muskβs list of potential baby names?
Michael Gulick
It's a small thing, but something about the fact that the book pages are reflected in Maxima's skin makes me smile. Such a small, but clever, detail.

I liked Lorlara attacking and defeating the bacon like an enemy! Talk about knives out.
Michael Obert
I was hoping Loralara would use that knife to eat her dinner; in retrospect, if really couldn't be any other way. I'm guessing the Alari don't have bacon, based in her response. Either that, or it was they're primary food source π
