A Web Comic about a Magical Girl (read: a total Fan Girl) and her Mentor Mascot Io (read: an evil 4-inch-tall alien ant), out to save the earth (read: unknowingly help the alien ants invade it) by fighting evil alien termites in devastating Humongous (read: human-sized) Mecha battles.
Find it here. While the final two News Posts have a tone of wanting to continue the comic, other points raised about being busy/unenthused and the author's total disappearance from the webcomic community shortly afterward most likely means the series will not be continued.
