Trying to find a series of dark black and white sci-fi webcomics

July 31, 2024 7:51 PM

I'm trying to find a series of bleak black and white sci-fi webcomics (well, they weren't all bleak but mostly bleak.)

Some included:

- Musk influencers on Mars getting so propaganda-pilled that they don't believe they're on Mars anymore and walk out onto the surface without protection.

- An Astronaut wearing a suit that keeps them alive by slowly shutting down parts of their body even though rescue is impossible and it ends with just their brain alive as the suit trudges on.

- A silicon billionaire (or similar rich person) gets immortality treatment only to be beaten to death in the far future by people who think they're a monster.

It had a name like "Sad Sci-fi Comics" and didn't update very regularly, maybe only once or twice a year. The style was a mix of drawn over photography, CG and pencil art.

Google SEO is awful so I can't find it using what I have and the most detailed story I recall, the Musk Mars one, just brings up fawning fan-fic on Reddit.

Best answer: Not sure whether this is the series you're thinking of, but perhaps interesting regardless — this sounds like badspacecomics.

Pretty sure you’re right, mekily. This appears to be the first example in the post.

Yep, Bad Space Comics. The second one you describe is The Suit.
