Ok, I know this site isn't reddit or any other online forum to discuss ideas, but as someone who is new to Puella magi madoka magica, the overall narrative of the series resembled the Lovecraftian sci-fi of the half-life and the SCP Foundation.
The magical girls like D-class, The incubators are precursor aliens take some form of earth's resource, the masquerade from the rest of humanity, the constant reality-wrapping and time-traveling by Homura and Madoka, and overpowering/underpowering of other magical or anomalous characters and so on.
Its narrative is mixture of urban fantasy, Sci-fi, and cosmic horror and Studio SHAFT's art style is dark and semi-realistic as valve's art. I don't know, but this might be why this IP appeals to me.
Tagged as T-90 but I'm not super sure on that identification so feel free to correct it if you think it looks more like one of the weird modernized T-62 variants or whatever (who even can keep track of them all) that have been coming out of the war. The only real hard identification is the cope cage and the stack of e-war equipment on the roof of the turret.

Scale model makers be eating good, eh? That said, it's definitely a T-90M (general shape of the turret, CITV), though a few details threw me off at first. Namely, the canvas bagged ERA at the hull (I thought they got rid of those after early war?) and the lower turret K-1 bricks (don't recall seeing those before).
My favorite shipgirl is, believe it or not, Queen Liz. Out of all the characters she has the most potential for storytelling when it comes to any format. There's a reason they went with her and ran with Queen's Orders. I think Queen's Orders was a bit too formulaic for me though, always treading the reliable territories of humor such as bust sizes and always playing off the surface-level of her character vs other characters, but rarely anything of historical origin.
Liz has a great supporting cast regardless. Warspite is the perfect straight man and Valiant is the even less-self-aware, even-more-egotistical version of Liz. In fact Valiant is so over-the-top in that regard that Liz is totally aware of it. Then there's the Liz we see only in the game, where she completely squelches any silliness, especially her own. She even matched wits against Akagi and Friedrich der Groรe, at the same time. She may not have come out on top from that interaction, but really, who could have?
Then there's Queen Elizabeth META. She's Liz, but subverted just enough to be purely antagonistic to regular Liz. And the way they play off each other is fantastic. Queen's Orders ended much too soon, there should have been at least ten chapter's worth just between those two.
So to answer your question, yes, you will see some META before this strip ends. Count on it being Liz.
Artist's commentary Translation On 7/1 (Thursday) midnight, a new unit arrives! Helene [CV: Yukina Shuto/Illustrator: mikan ame(G-ROW)] "What is it, why are you staring me like that. People would think that's bad manners you know. ... You didn't mean anything ill? How straight. There's no lies and malice in your voice. Alright, I will approve of you. Let us go together."
TL note: the original wording of the last part where she says "I approve of you" was "this helene will approve of you" in Japanese.
Let me just speedrun the quest map, surely its just for show only~ Total death before phase 4 : 3k+ Failed to rescue the Mother and Daughter All the guards that was protecting the civilian inside the house are dead "You have made your choice, you have to live with the consequences" :PepeHands:
@Damian0358: My man, I really like what you posted on this site, a very interesting pick you have there!
I even commented and retweeted it. That's how much I love this piece of art; credit to the original artist, of course. From the digital idol realm, here she comes, our Ultrawoman Miku!*
It's a quote from a comment I made on a tweet with the same concept.
