''[httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20140104055438/http://spacethecomic.com// Lego Space: The Comic]'' is a [[Photo Comic]] about [[LEGO]]'s classic [[LEGO Space|Space]] line. While mainly a comedic series, it can get surprisingly dramatic depending on the currently-running arc. There are many storylines, all running concurrently, with three identifiable main ones:
 
# The first and most prominent focuses on Space Agency members Schwartz and Galanos in a [[Slice of Life]] style, save the occasional 'action sequence'. This is also the section where most of the 'minor character arcs' originate from, generally focusing on those related to the main two in some fashion.

=== ''Lego Space: The Comic'' contains examples of: ===
* [[Ace Pilot]]: Schwartz is implied to be this with his craft the Gamma-V.
* [[Action Girl]]: Valkyrie qualifies, as does Jenny...
* [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]]: Occasionally there will be a single page that focuses on a minor character and what they do, like Bruce and Cheryl musing, or the Space Policemen and their mishaps with the sniffer frog.
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Does these every once in a while: these include [[Tron]], [[Transformers]], [[Star Trek]], and [[Goodfellas]].
* [[Alien Abduction]]: Scouse is kidnapped in this manner at first, {{spoiler|but he doesn't end up staying on the alien's ship for long.}}
* [[All Myths Are True]] : So far, [[UF OsUFOs]], Jetis, Dragons ( {{spoiler|The Jersey Demon}}), castles in the moon and the Loch Ness Monster have been confirmed.
* [[Alternate Self]]: {{spoiler|Ronald pretends to be this to Galanos in his first appearance.}}
* [[Alternate Timeline]]: The future as shown to Ronald in 'House Call'. Also qualifies as a [[Bad Future]].
Line 37:
* [[Batman Can Breathe in Space]]: Kind of- the Classic Space minifigures have no visors, yet we see them breathing perfectly fine in the vacuum of space. Perhaps justified; the characters are made of Lego, after all.
* [[Bar Brawl]]: Whenever the M:Tron scientists inhabit the Raven's Port bar, this inevitably happens...at least until Schwartz shows up.
* [[Base Onon Wheels]]: The Mega Core Magnetizer.
* [[Beat Panel]]
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: To get back at Schwartz for his prank in the 100th episode, Galanos engineers a situation where Schwartz is forced to watch his least favorite show, the Lawrence Welk XVI show live ('Revenge is a Dish Best Served with Champagne'). {{spoiler|This ends up backfiring on him however, as Schwartz finds himself liking the show instead!}}
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: {{spoiler|Officer Freundlich, Masoch, Mr. Marx, Gunbar, and ''Vanilla Snowball'' as the cavalry in 'House Call'.}}
* [[Bigger Onon the Inside]]: Mostly averted, as the author uses the interior of the actual set he's using; played straight for whenever The Doctor's TARDIS is shown.
* [[Big No]]: Used once or twice, as when Schwartz is the unwilling viewer of the Lawernce Welk XVI show.
* [[Biting the Hand Humor]]: In one comic, Red berates the author for not putting her in more comics despite her (supposedly)
being part of the main cast.
* [[Black Cloak]]: {{spoiler|The alien scientist.}}
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Masoch's...''fetishes'' are often overlooked for the fact that he does exceptionally well at his job in the Space Agency.
Line 51:
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: {{spoiler|Captain Dash is like this, stealing corpses and threatening members of his own Space Agency.}}
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: In the (aptly-titled) 'Breaking Down the Fourth Wall'.
* [[Brought to You Byby The Letter "S"]]: Mr. Scouse and the other M:Tron scientists have the letter 'M' on their uniform. Similarly, the Blacktron II members have a 'B on theirs.
* [[Can't Hold His Liquor]]: Lance and Vance Gemini in 'First Field Assignment'.
* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]: The alien leader.
* [[Call Back]]: The Allied Avenger with the Hooting Space Monkey tied to it in 'Bootlegs'.
Line 74:
* [[Determinator]]: Captain Dash Jefferson.
* [[Dominatrix]]: Valkyrie channels this in 'Meteor Madness II'.
* [[Dramatic Ellipsis|Dramatic...Ellipsis]]: Schwartz in the second comic of the 'Bootlegs' storyline. Or, well kind of anyway; here it's used to indicate confused silence.
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Walker shows up as early as 'Locked Up', though he isn't named 'til later. In fact, there are a few characters who have exactly this situation applied to them.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: Lt. Coldwell is implied to be worshiping one of these- Lord Xenu.
* [[Ensign Newbie]]: Lt. Coldwell starting in 'Blank Attack'.
* [[Establishing Shot]]: One for every location in the comic.
* [[Everything's Deader Withwith Zombies]]: The Captain Dash Jefferson zombie.
* [[Exactly What I Aimed At]]: A trick Amarillo uses in 'Fun on the Runway'.
* [[Executive Meddling]]: For a few strips (445-447), the author appeared to be having troubles with his host site. {{spoiler|In reality it's a "meta-storyline" used for framing a guest strip.}}
Line 102:
** Note that this is based more on the character's personality than their role in the story; Schwartz is actually the main character, with Galanos being the main secondary character, and the others, while important, falling somewhere below them.
* [[Flash Back]]: The 'Retro Red' storyline.
* [[Foreshadowing]]: Early in the comic's run there was a page featuring a mysterious character; this got its payout in the form of a 22-strip long arc almost a year later.
* [[Fourth Wall Mail Slot]]: Schwartz stars in one of these in celebration of the comic reaching 400 episodes.
* [[Funetik Aksent]]: Some of Scouse's accents are portrayed in this manner.
Line 108:
* [[Happy Flashback]]: Schwartz's memories of camping in the White Condor with his parents.
* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]: Galanos (and Ronald) for Priscilla the ice babe.
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: When Amarillo, Lt. Coldwell, and the M:Tron's scientists attempt to escape the 'Jersey Devil' dragons only to have their magnetic ship become attached to the Mega Core Magnetizer's magnets by mistake in 'Blank Attack'.
* [[Home Base]]: Every character has one. For the Space Agents, it's mainly the Inter-Galactic Command Base, with the Android Base being secondary; for the Blacktron pirates, the Alpha Centauri Outpost; for the M:Tron scientists, it's officially the Mega Core Magnetizer (though in a sense the Raven's Port Bar could count too); and for the future Space Police it's Space Police Central Precinct 78.
* [[Intellectual Animal]]: The 'Jersey Devil' dragons.
Line 137:
* [[Samus Is a Girl]]: {{spoiler|Commander Valkyrie}} in the earliest strips of the comic.
* [[Secret Identity]]: {{spoiler|Valkyrie had one at first that was unknown to even the viewers. She still tries to keep hers secret from the general public in-universe, though her cover is almost blown in 'Date Night'.}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: Many present; among the most common are ''[[Doctor Who]]'', ''[[Goodfellas]]'', ''[[Batman]]'' and fellow sci-fi Lego webcomic [[Tranquility Base (Webcomic)|Tranquility Base]].
* [[Single Biome Planet]]: Pluto is treated as one of these in a few stories.
* [[Space Pirates]]: The Blacktron Forces have been called this a few times.
Line 144:
* {{spoiler|[[Stalker Without a Crush]]: Jenny spends most of her time stalking Schwartz. This has not yet been (explicitly) explained, though plenty of material for fan theories is given. Interestingly, she is also seen stalking Valkyrie on occasion...}}
* [[Sticky Fingers]]: Valkyrie "suffers" from this, as seen in 'Ketching Up' (though she does rather enjoy it).
* [[Still Wearing the Old Colors]]: Valkyrie, Walker, and Dr. Doug still wear the uniforms
* [[Stock Footage]]: Not exactly footage, but the author admits to sometimes using old shots to save time and other economic reasons.
* [[Storming the Castle]]: Valkyrie and her crew of Blacktron I men failed to do this to the Alpha Centauri Outpost in the alternate reality in 'House Call'.
Line 161:
* [[Those Two Guys]]: Lance and Vance Gemini, paranormal investigators.
* [[Title Confusion]]: A bit; the main URL refers to the title as 'Lego Space', the banner refers to it as just 'Space' (as a [[One Word Title]]); the bottom blurb names it as 'Space: The Comic', and it is referred to on other websites as "Lego Space: The Comic' by the author. For the sake of this article, we've gone with the most specific title, as 'Space' is a bit generic and [[LEGO Space]] is already taken by the toy line.
** Clarified a bit in the blurb for 'Bootlegs Part 22'; the author prefers to go by the title of 'Space: The Comic' so as to not interfere on Lego's copyright/"Fair Play" policies. Currently this page is still under "Lego Space: The Comic", but if anyone feels this really needs changing, perhaps we can set up a discussion in the appropriate section.
* [[Time Dilation]]: Possible explanation for Schwartz and Galanos' extended absence in 'Bootlegs'.
* [[Tomato in Thethe Mirror]]: Happens to clone-Schwartz and Galanos, though they don't much care, so downplayed. The real Schwartz and Galanos discuss this in one comic before deciding it doesn't apply to them.
* [[Too Kinky to Torture]]: {{spoiler|Commander Masoch. He goes out of his way to experience pain, once hunting out the Blacktron I group and taunting them just to make them hurt him! They catch on however and leave him alone- which just makes him search for ''other'' places to get his fix of pain.}}
* [[True Neutral]]: The Exploriens faction claims to be this.
* [[Turn in Your Badge]]: This happens (unsuccessfully) to Jenny in her self-titled storyline.
