10 Comics Like Starfield to Fuel Your Obsession

This dystopian sci-fi comic is inked on my arm for good reason. In this twisted future, women who defy the patriarchy are sent to an orbital prison colony nicknamed “Bitch Planet.” Full of intersectional feminist icons, this comic should be on everyone’s must-read list.

Space travel, sympathetic androids, and gorgeous art are all part of this great story. Androids and other AI have been outlawed. Bounty hunters scour the stars for them. TIM-21 and his ragtag crew of synthetics are on the run, trying to survive and prove that they deserve to survive.

This is technically a Green Lantern story, but only technically. This comic focuses on Sojourner Mullein, a rookie Green Lantern, who is newly on duty when the first murder in centuries occurs on her watch. Now, it’s on Mullein to solve the mystery and prevent all-out war, all while being the only human in that distant sector of space.

Here’s another great comic set in the farthest reaches of space. Here, a hardened pilot and a religious acolyte discover a terrible conspiracy between a massive religion and a mega-corporation. This odd couple have no choice but to work together to expose the truth in defiance of both galactic giants.

Here’s another mystery in the depths of space. Alea has lived her entire life on an outpost at the edge of space. When tragedy strikes, however, everything she’s ever known is thrown into question. I do love how a space-faring setting can make every plot just that much better.

Vep is a refugee raised as an indentured “citizen.” So she doesn’t get a say when she’s sent to a newly discovered planet to help colonize it. Teeming with violent and psychic lifeforms, the planet seems to affect Vep in strange ways. Maybe Vep is more than she ever thought she was.

This trippy comic book came out in the 90s but tried to emulate older styles. From the creator of Madman, this is about an alien and clone who comes to Earth just wanting to make music. But humans be doing human things like trying to kill anything they don’t understand.

Who hasn’t heard of Saga by now? It’s an epic space opera with big Romeo and Juliet energy, a giant galactic war, people with televisions for heads, and Lying Cat. Saga isn’t just one of the best science fiction comics ever, but it’s one of the best stories ever. Period.

Alex’s journey seems simple enough, if tragic. Her sister has died on a distant refinery moon, and Alex is going to gather her remains. But she also wants answers, and those answers lead her down a dangerous rabbit hole of betrayal and intrigue…in space!

Why yes, there is something on this list for the little science fiction fans. This middle grade graphic novel is about Zita, a girl whose best friend is abducted, and so Zita takes to the stars to rescue her friend. Full of fun, friendship, and cutesy monsters, it’s a great read for all ages.
