Dystopian societies and alternative worlds

Hello!

I've always liked the stories set in that kind of strange worlds.
In fact, currently I´m collaborating with the artist Sara Cuervo in a comic of this science fiction subgenre.

What Tapas comics or novels do you know that can be included in this category?

I'm sure if my novel would completely fit into what you're looking for here, it's not necessarily a dystopian world but it's certainly alternative. The world is centered around human and spirits coming coexisting (kind of). The main character, Lucella, works for an shadow organization of the government to clear up anything that might ruin the image of peace the government has created.

Thank you very much for answering, Peni..
I have subscribed to take a look at it. Maybe it's a story that fits more with the fantasy genre, but it doesn't really matter. The premise seems very interesting, and now I realize that I recently read some of your short stories

And I liked!

My comic

I just haven't gotten around to actually getting to it...

The primordials represents the dread of apocalypse and Lovecraftian horror

The gods represent literally the Illuminati and what is essentially Orwellian dytopia

The high council who work for the gods brainwash and torture potentially thought threatening people in a regime fashion to stop the primordial from destroying the world...

And the primordials are just the primordials... Only good thing they are technically doing is destroying the high council who is brainwashing the people, and actually acknowledge it, destroying them for personal reasons... Some people see it as a good thing... Which is a just reason to start a cult that tries to bring one into the world...

Oooo I love to write a dystopian world! I wish tapas would have that genre. Here's my dystopia story

My novel doesn't take place in a dystopian world, but one inspired by rock and heavy metal music. Because why not?

I've got a story that takes place in an alternate earth of sorts. There's a lot of similarities to our own world and is heavily based on it, taking place during our equivalent of the 1980s. The main differences being this is a world where the strange and bizzare are more commonplace from other sentient races, super powers and deformities, and mystical items. Different enough to be it's own fantasy world but similar enough to Earth to feel familiar...

waves hands The comic my team and I work on is dystopian for sure! It's about what happens when the worlds first heroine shows up 200 years after the fall of civilization. Think MadMax+Batman Beyond.

Others you should check out in the dystopian/post apocolyptic/alt world are these ->

No. Like...really. It's deciving, but think less Cinderella mice and more like The Secret of Nihm meets Watership Down

Death is a kinda nice person actually!

Hello, my comic has an alternative world
This is a bit of a spoil alert

This takes place in the futuristic world where the Earth is practically dangerous too live in.
