Afterlife Blues is a webcomic written by Jon Kilgannon and illustrated by Mark Sachs, the same team that brought us A Miracle of Science.

Brody Isett, our less than intelligent narrator, had been living out his life of petty crime and getting caught on at least four worlds, until he got caught up in a plot of intrigue, subterfuge, and Artificial Intelligence. Liraz Andronescu, the Hero of Athens, needed a guide for her team to infiltrate New Abilene, the rogue planet still blockaded by the American space fleet. So she recruits Brody to come back to his homeworld, promising not to turn him over to the cops. But who is this person that they're trying to find, and more importantly, what kind of AI is he?

You can read it online here. It's been on Series Hiatus since February 2011.
