''[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...
Line 44:
* [[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 52:
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: In the (aptly-titled) 'Breaking Down the Fourth Wall'.
* [[Brought to You by 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 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 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 the 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.
