''Unicorn Jelly'' has ended, but Reitz is drawing an independent sequel, ''Pastel Defender Heliotrope'' (now also completed), and a related [[Alternate Universe]] story, ''To Save Her'' (now also, also completed). These comics all share a common... [[The Multiverse|multiverse]], a [[Science Fiction]] setting made up of many worlds, each with [[Another Dimension|completely distinct physical laws]] and in no way similar to the others. (And then each universe has ''its own'' [[Alternate Universe|parallel worlds]], which are subtly different, and... it gets complicated). Our own universe is occasionally mentioned as the original home of humanity, but is never visited in the comics.
