''Chariot'' is a 2021 comic book published by AWA Studios, written by Creator/BryanEdwardHill and illustrated by Priscilla Petraites and Marco Lesko. It's described as a "[[UsefulNotes/{{Synthwave}} synthwave]] thriller."

The Chariot was a Cold War-era secret government project to provide its star agent with a weapon unlike any other in the form of a supercharged muscle car. It sank into the ocean decades ago, and the agent along with it.

Now, Jim, a petty criminal looking to make money to pay for his son's kidney treatments, finds the Chariot in a junkyard and attempts to restart it. When he's confronted by the gang boss whom he owes money to, he quickly finds, however, that the car has a mind of its own...specifically, the same mind that died within it years ago.

!Tropes in ''Chariot'':

* AmicableExes: Jim and his ex-wife seem to get along pretty good, although she is also dating a cop, which makes things awkward since Jim is a petty criminal.
* CoolCar: The Chariot is a supercharged muscle car. How supercharged? It has forcefields that make it ''completely invulnerable''.
* FemmeFataleSpy: The agent driving the Chariot in the beginning is a young blonde woman wearing a leather mini-skirt.
* HauntedTechnology: The Chariot is a super-advanced muscle car that is now apparently controlled by the spirit of the agent who died inside it.
* {{Hologram}}: The agent at the end is either a hologram or a ghost that ''looks'' like a hologram.
* LittlestCancerPatient: Jim's son, Ben, has failing kidneys. That's why Jim borrowed money from the local gang boss.
* LogicalWeakness: The Chariot is ''completely'' invulnerable and can even crash right ''through'' other cars. However, the road ''underneath'' the car is still vulnerable, so a helicopter took out a chunk of road, forcing the car to dive into the ocean...where it quickly filled with water, drowning its driver.
* ShoutOut: Ben, Jim's son, is seen holding onto a Comic/SpiderMan stuffed toy in his hospital bed.
* UsefulNotes/{{Synthwave}}: The entire books aesthetic, from the supercharged muscle car, to the color palette, to the pink ghost/hologram.
