A hybrid of Warhammer 40K and Bone
Drive: the sci-fi comic tells the story of a Second Spanish Empire, a galactic empire, and its looming war with a species called "The Continuum of Makers." Humanity has built its empire using technology stolen from the Makers — and these creatures want it back with an almost religious fervor. In the brewing war, it's clear that humanity will lose, and lose badly, unless they can find some advantage in battle. That hope arrives in the form of a tiny, mysterious creature who can drive a starship like no one's ever seen. Now all humanity needs to do... is find ten thousand more pilots just like him. But no one knows where he's from. Previously mentioned on Metafilter.

This reminds me of the underground comics that came out of the late 80s to mid 90s, and I mean that in the best possible way.

I've been following this for years and it's a good one. Nice to see it crop up on MeFi. Bone is an excellent comparison; this is a mostly serious story told with a sense of humor.

I used to spend a LOT of time reading webcomics. Drive always fell off my daily check because they'd interleave the main story with tales from the drive on their front page. Just sat down and caught myself up to the beginning of Act 4.

It has been years. And one night of less sleep and I've caught up to Act 5 Page 100.

I'd bounced off this previously, but you've made me give it a second chance and I'm now 150ish pages deep. Thanks for the post.
