Derelict is a science fiction webcomic set in a post-flood world, written and drawn by Ben Fleuter (also the author of Galactic Maximum). It's about Dang Thu Mai, a lone scavenger living on a boat and coping with her surroundings. Complicating matters is an otherworldly fog which shrouds the world, and hides the so-called "Miasmic Races", monstrous yet intelligent beings, most of whom possess nothing but ill will for humanity.
Starts here.
Tropes included
- Anachronic Order
- All There in the Manual: Ben has revealed in other projects, and on the Nothing Personal forums, much more information than the comic itself has.
- After the End
- Author Appeal: Ben is rather fascinated by the subject, to say the least.
- Chiaroscuro
- Deliberately Monochrome
- Depleted Phlebotinum Shells: Dang uses UV crossbow bolts against Miasmic enemies.
- Disaster Scavengers
- Frickin' Laser Beams
- Houseboat Hero
- Hostile Weather
- Important Haircut: Ben uses the length of Dang's hair to help indicate time passing between events; the growth is just as important as the cutting.
- Les Yay: Dang has a naked pin-up poster on her wall.
- Malevolent Masked Men: The humanoid Miasmic races.
- My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Possibly. At the least, Beautiful Flower was not nearly as nasty as the other miasmic beings; she regretted stealing Dang's boat and later uttered a prayer when it appeared she killed Dang.
- Odd Shaped Panel
- Ominous Fog: Which is apparently not normal fog, as it may be poisonous and hides inhuman beings who are intelligent, but not, apparently, inclined to play nicely with humanity.
- Now officially confirmed as a Fog of Doom; complete with brutal Mind Rape, implications of Genius Loci, and complementary free ballet lessons.
- Painting the Fourth Wall
- Rule of Perception
- Rule of Three: Big time.
- Scavenger World
- Silence Is Golden: More often than not, the comic will go for whole pages with no spoken words or sounds. It's very effective at conveying a sense of isolation.
- Shout Out: Dang comes across a crashed passenger jet which is sporting an Oceanic Airlines logo.
- Skeletons in The Coat Closet
- Surrogate Soliloquy
- Wall of Blather
