A little clarity from Captain Carter here on the exact nature of the apocalypse that we witnessed a few strips back. And, of course, a little peek at the important role that Alice “Arizona” Donovan plays in the future of Earth and Mars. Her adventures in choosing how precisely she adapts to this destiny is beginning to be explored in detail in Arizona, a series of comic strips running parallel to Westward. Someday, these strips will be compiled into a book or something, but for the foreseeable future they are exclusively available to members of the Scientific Society, who support Westward with small monthly donations using Patreon.

Currently, Westward has nine patrons–loyal readers who have chipped in to say, “I like Westward and I want it to keep flying!” That’s a great start! As more patrons add their support, Westward will get closer to reaching its milestone goals, which result in more Westward and Arizona content for you, the reader. If you dream of a future of fresh, exciting, thought-provoking Westward and Arizona content every single day–so do I! Become a patron now and help make that dream a reality. Excelsior! -e
