2. There is a webcomic...

The storyline is in the post-apocalyptic frozen wasteland that followed the technological collapse of a corporate-ruled futuristic dystopia.

This futuristic dystopia is shown in flashbacks and one particular sentence from the early pages is seared into my brain: "Since the corporation has copyrighted sleep..."

And all wild plant-life on Earth was exterminated because they are "unsanctioned oxygen-producers". Of course, the corporation offers a good deal on air.




The webcomic is called "Romantically Apocalyptic".


The main characters are (SPOILERS) a brilliant lunatic who may or may not have accidentally caused the apocalypse, an alien assassin disguised as his cup that never runs out of coffee, a former tour-guide who just wants to stay out of trouble, an alien war-drone that accompanies the former tour-guide as a scarf, a lobotomized assassin whose last job was to kill the former tour-guide, a formerly powerful senior-scientist who got stalked by the AI he worked with, and several monsters and murderous AIs.
