* ICouldHaveBeenAContender: Many Edgerunners only care about their reputation and wealth with no real plan of what to do beyond making it big (and most never do).
* NewMediaIsEvil: A great deal of attention is paid to the fact that braindances are a substitute to the masses for actually living decent lives.

* {{Cyberpunk}}: The comics all show a world with fantastic technology and advanced cybernetics with corrupt corporations as well as grinding poverty. Crime is the only way that the majority of people can escape it but even this is largely a lie.

Added DiffLines:

* CapitalismIsBad: The motivation for a large chunk of the cast, heroes and villain, is the grinding poverty and materialism of Night City.


Added DiffLines:

* CrapsaccharineWorld: Night City is beautiful and full of amazing neon vistas as well as fantastic technology but it is a full of poverty as well as casual violence with most individuals dying unmourned and forgotten.
* DownerEnding: A large chunk of the stories end with the protagonists dead, defeated, or heartbroken with no sign the city will ever change even in the slightest.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: All of the protagonists are either other Edgerunners or corporate employees different from V or the main characters from ''TabletopGame/{{Cyberpunk}}.''
* TheHeroDies: [[spoiler: ''Trauma Team'', ''You have My Word'', and ''Big City Dreams'' all end with the deaths of their protagonists.]]

''Cyberpunk 2077'' is a line of comic books produced by Creator/DarkHorseComics set in the world of ''VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077'' and Creator/CDProjektRed. It is a spin-off of Mike Pondsmith's Franchise/{{Cyberpunk}} world. The comic books are all set in Night City, a California metropolis that is independent of the rest of the United States after a general collapse of society.

The books typically follow one or more Edgerunners or cyberpunks that are StreetSamurai mercs working to make a profit in the city's Underworld. They are typically tragic in their stories, ending with the dream of profit or fame being illusionary.

Despite being a spin-off of the media game, they usually star completely new casts and characters and have very little crossover.

This series contains the following tropes:

* BlackAndGrayMorality: Virtually all of the protagonists are criminals and murderers themselves but they're often up against even worse people.
* CityOfAdventure: Night City is a violent, garish, and stylized world with constant shoot outs as well as criminal plots going on at any given time.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: As per usual in cyberpunk, Arasaka and Militech along with virtually every other corporate executive is scummy with no regard for their customers.
* StreetSamurai: Edgerunners are criminals operating in Night City as independent mercenaries, working for no one but themselves.
