Marooned: a Weekly Sci-Fi Webcomic

Interested in a Space Opera in the wrong key? Check out Tom Dell’Aringa’s Marooned: a Weekly Sci-Fi Webcomic. Here’s a description of the strip, taken from Tom’s website:

“Marooned concerns an odd mixture of characters. Captain John, a man ultimately chosen to pilot a manned mission to Mars due to his failures, A.S.I.M.O.V., the first true Artificial Intelligence saddled in an old garbage-bot shell and Ugo, a Martian lookout who apparently knows a lot more than he ever lets on.

John and Asimov are stranded due to the fact that the Martian Lander was something of a one-way trip -- but nobody clued John in on that fact! While Ugo has befriended and guided them, it is becoming clear that the Martians have their own issues as well.”
