#### [Alex + Ada](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30896668-alex-ada) (2013-2015) _by [Jonathan Luna](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luna_Brothers), [Sarah Vaughn](https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7372180.Sarah_Vaughn)_ [4.11]

Categories: `ai` `drama` `sci-fi`

Alex + Ada is a thought provoking and moving exploration of what it means to be alive, and what rights can and should be afforded to non-human sentient beings. It's a short and effective near-future look at the obligations we have to both each other and to the intelligent life we create. - [@thejessleigh](https://github.com/thejessleigh)
Description
> From JONATHAN LUNA (THE SWORD, GIRLS, Spider-Woman: Origin) and SARAH VAUGHN (Sparkshooter, Ruined) comes ALEX + ADA, a sci-fi/drama set in the near future. The last thing in the world Alex wanted was an X5, the latest in realistic androids. But after Ada is dropped into his life, he discovers she is more than just a robot. Alex takes a huge risk to unlock Ada so she can think for herself and explore life as a sentient android.
#### [Arzach](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8748185-arzach) (1975) _by Moebius_ [4.06]

Categories: `hard-science-fiction` `sci-fi` `cyberpunk`

One of the most influential french sci-fi comics. It inspired a lot of what became Heavy Metal Magazine. Moebius in this onirical tale uses no words to this graphical prose. - [@matheusteixeira](https://github.com/matheusteixeira)
Description
> Arzach fut une révolution pour la bande dessinée de l'époque. Elle est constituée d'une série de cinq histoires autonomes, sortes de « nouvelles graphiques » de quelques planches chacune. Sa particularité réside tout d'abord en son absence totale de dialogues : on y croise un voire deux personnages récurrents (Arzach et son Ptéroïde, sorte de ptérodactyle) mais apparemment muets, en tout cas l'auteur ne leur autorise pas la parole pour s'exprimer.
#### [Black Science](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20881139-black-science-vol-1) (2014) _by [Rick Remender](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Remender)_ [3.93]

Categories: `space-opera` `sci-fi`

Black Science is one of those stories where you explain it to people at a really high level and gradually get more excited as you do so. It's essentially what happens if Rick & Morty had a less skilled and lucky Rick. Grant McKay goes through some really dark experiences, and the multiverse around him feels nothing for his plight. It's a story to read and revisit. - [@EricPonvelle](https://github.com/EricPonvelle)
Description
> Grant McKay, former member of The Anarchistic Order of Scientists, has finally done the impossible: He has deciphered Black Science and punched through the barriers of reality. But what lies beyond the veil is not epiphany, but chaos. Now Grant and his team are lost, living ghosts shipwrecked on an infinite ocean of alien worlds, barreling through the long-forgotten, ancient, and unimaginable dark realms. The only way is forward. The only question is how far are they willing to go, and how much can they endure, to get home again? Join writer RICK REMENDER and the superstar art team of MATTEO SCALERA & DEAN WHITE for this face-melting science fiction epic spanning the lifetimes of a cast of dimensional castaways lead by the man who caused it all.
#### [Global Frequency](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15819022-global-frequency) (2002-2004) _by Warren Ellis_ [4.05]

Categories: `hard-science-fiction` `sci-fi`

Global Frequency is a very livid, strong, and fast-paced adventure/action-packed sci-fi. Each of the twelve issues is kinda independent and all of them are bursting with life. - [@matheusteixeira](https://github.com/matheusteixeira)
Description
> Created by Entertainment Weekly "It" writer, Global Frequency is a worldwide rescue organization that offers the last shred of hope when all other options have failed. Manned by 1001 operatives, the Frequency is made up of experts in fields as diverse as bio-weapon engineering and Le Parkour Running. Each agent-equipped with a special mobile vid-phone-is speciffically chosen by Miranda Zero, enigmatic leader of the Global Frequency, based on proximity, expertise, and, in some cases, sheer desperation!
#### [Saga](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17131869-saga-vol-2) (2014-) _by Brian K. Vaughan_ [4.56]

Categories: `fantasy` `sci-fi` `space-opera`

Saga is a comic that is an elevator pitch proof. It's impossible to describe it in a sentence. All I can say is that it's a beautifully written and drawn story about love and family, in a very interesting space opera-like world. It's kinda like Star Wars, but not at all. While in Star Wars the heroes are in a huge journey to end the war, in Saga they just want to be left alone to live with their family. - [@matheusteixeira](https://git
