On a Sunbeam (Graphic Novel/Webcomic)

[shadaras]

Fandom, as per ao3: On a Sunbeam (Graphic Novel)

What it's about:
Mia just graduated high school and can't find a job, so she joins a salvage/repair crew that's basically a family and learns about these people and the job. In the past, we learn about her time at boarding school, focusing on her best friend (and girlfriend!), a strange girl named Grace Hill. These two storylines come together as Mia wonders what happened to Grace and asks her new family to help her find out. It's a story about found family, love, and exploring strange and beautiful places in a science fantasy universe.

Where you can find it: It's freely available as a webcomic! However, it's also a graphic novel published by First Second that was shortlisted for the graphic story Hugo this year, if you prefer paper copies.

Why it's great:
- Literally everyone in the story is a woman or nonbinary and this isn't commented on at all.
- BEAUTIFUL art
- There are really cool games in-universe? A team game where you fly around collecting orbs, and an RPG.
- All the spaceships look like fish. It's rad.
- Weird fantasy stuff IN SPACE!
- Found family! Queer relationships!
- Very cool worldbuilding about Weird Space!
