The Starship DestinyThe Starship Destiny is a daily pixel art web comic written and drawn by Sean Howard. The comic launched on the 14th of January 2004 and the author's stated intention was for it to continue for the period of one year. Sean Howard had stated it will contain three parts, each containing a story following the same characters, each story having its own plot, climax, and resolution. However, it was discontinued on March 14, 2004 in favor of another A Modest Destiny storyline. Another "episode" of the story, The Starship Destiny: City on the Edge of Not Ever started in mid-2004. Rather unlike Howard's previous comic A Modest Destiny, TSD follows the adventures of a group of characters entirely in the present, and these characters inhabit a world which could easily be likened to that of a space opera rather than the fantasy world of its predecessor. Like AMD, TSD makes heavy use of cliche and in doing so jovially mocks established sci-fi conventions. The crew, led by a square-jawed outlaw and including various robots, both psycotic and paranoid, a brain in a jar, a computer and an alien doctor, are chased through space by a bounty hunter through an asteroid field in one early encounter. While obviously standard sci-fi fare, humour is still maintained throughout.
