History GreyAndGrayMorality / ComicBooks

* ''[[ComicBook/TheEndMarvelComics Venom: The End]]'' has Venom's biological HiveMind vs. the artificial super-intelligences (or "[[LemonyNarrator Team Biolife vs. Team Godmind]]"). Both sides are trying to preserve life, but one wants to do it by way of cloning and reproducing previous life, and the other wants to digitize everything. This also counts as BlueAndOrangeMorality for both sides.

* ''ComicBook/{{Venom}}: ComicBook/TheEnd'' has Venom's biological HiveMind vs. the artificial super-intelligences (or "[[LemonyNarrator Team Biolife vs. Team Godmind]]"). Both sides are trying to preserve life, but one wants to do it by way of cloning and reproducing previous life, and the other wants to digitize everything. This also counts as BlueAndOrangeMorality for both sides.

* Creator/MarvelComics' ''ComicBook/CivilWar''. Both the sides are portrayed as having flaws and having a point.
* ''ComicBook/VenomTheEnd'': Venom's biological HiveMind vs. the Artificial Super-intelligences (AKA "[[LemonyNarrator Team Biolife vs. Team Godmind]]"). Both sides are trying to preserve life, but one wants to do it by way of cloning and reproducing previous life, and the other wants to digitize everything. This also counts as BlueAndOrangeMorality for both sides.
* ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}''. Dr. Manhattan is the larval form of an EldritchAbomination, both Rorschach and the Comedian are {{sociopathic hero}}es, and [[spoiler:Ozymandias]] is an AntiVillain WellIntentionedExtremist. None of the main characters is unambiguously villainous, but even Nite Owl and Silk Spectre are {{antihero}}es.

** The ''Megatron: Origin'' miniseries shows the series's iconic EvilOverlord's rise to power from a laid-off energon miner through underground [[BloodSport gladiator]] to the leader of a rebellion against a corrupt Cybertronian senate, with the Autobot Security Services presented as an incompetent and in some cases fascistic police force under the control of the aforementioned senate.

* ''Franchise/AlienVsPredator'', in both comics and video games, as the Franchise/{{Alien}} is not much sapient, the Franchise/{{Predator}} borders on BlueAndOrangeMorality, and the humans are most times just doing their jobs. Whoever it's the villain depends on the viewpoint character.

* [[Creator/MarvelComics Marvel's]] ''ComicBook/CivilWar''. Both the sides are portrayed as having flaws and having a point.

* In the DC miniseries from the eighties ''Conqueror of the Barren Earth'', there really are no good guys. The protagonist, Jinal Ne'Comarr, wants to conquer the world by force of arms and unite it under her leadership, and conquers and sacks any number of towns and cities in the process. She is the closest the series has to a good guy. The closest the series has to a bad guy is Zhengla, a rival warlord who wants to do exactly what Jinal is trying to do. After one battle, he captures her and [[MadeASlave makes her his slave]]. They end up becoming lovers and joining forces to conquer the world together. So the morality of the series is pretty grey.

* ''ComicBook/VenomTheEnd'': Venom's biological HiveMind vs the Artificial Super-intelligences (AKA "[[LemonyNarrator Team Biolife vs Team Godmind]]"). Both sides are trying to preserve life, but one wants to do it by way of cloning and reproducing previous life, and the other wants to digitize everything. This also counts as BlueAndOrangeMorality for both sides.

* Comicbook/WorldWarHulk: Warbound vs Comicbook/TheIlluminati. The Illuminati weren't guilty of the crime that Hulk was avenging, but they ''were'' the reason he was on Sakaar in the first place.

* Charley's War from ComicBook/{{Battle}} had both the Germans and English during First World War as NotSoDifferent, which the characters had both a fair share of generally good people being forced into war and SociopathicSoldier. In contrast, the commanders from both sides are generally made up of GeneralRipper with exceptions like [[AFatherToHisMen Lieutenant Thomas]].

* ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}''. Dr. Manhattan is the larval form of an EldritchAbomination, both Rorschach and the Comedian are {{sociopathic hero}}es , and [[spoiler:Ozymandias]] is an AntiVillain WellIntentionedExtremist. None of the main characters is unambiguously villainous, but even Nite Owl and Silk Spectre are {{antihero}}es.

** ''The Krypton Chronicles'' presents the Last War between Kryptonian warring states as a conflict with no real villains, but where all sides were perfectly willing to use lethal force. The city-states of Kandor and Erkol tried to nuke each other into surrendering, until one of them deployed a mind-altering weapon to save themselves from being blasted into oblivion.

* ''Venom The End'': Venom's biological HiveMind vs the Artificial Super-intelligences (AKA "[[LemonyNarrator Team Biolife vs Team Godmind]]"). Both sides are trying to preserve life, but one wants to do it by way of cloning and reproducing previous life, and the other wants to digitize everything. This also counts as BlueAndOrangeMorality for both sides.

* [[Creator/MarvelComics Marvel's]] Comicbook/CivilWar. Both the sides are portrayed as having flaws and having a point.
* ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}''. Dr. Manhattan is the larval form of an EldritchAbomination, both Rorschach and the Comedian are {{sociopathic hero}}es , and [[spoiler:Ozymandias]] is an AntiVillain WellIntentionedExtremist. None of the main characters is unambiguously villainous, but even Nite Owl and Silk Spectre are {{antihero}}es. To quote Zack Snyder, director of the movie adaptation, "Superman doesn't care about humanity, Batman can't get it up, and the bad guy wants world peace."
* IDW's ''[[ComicBook/TheTransformersIDW Megatron: Origin]]'' miniseries shows the series's iconic EvilOverlord's rise to power from a laid-off energon miner through underground [[BloodSport gladiator]] to the leader of a rebellion against a corrupt Cybertronian senate, with the Autobot Security Services presented as an incompetent and in some cases fascistic police force under the control of the aforementioned senate.
** Before this the [[ComicBook/TransformersGenerationOne Dreamwave comic series]] revealed that the Autobot ruling council were servants of the Quintessons, the Transformers' entire history was a lie told to keep the Autobots in line and Megatron, having found all this out, forced the Decepticons to try and free his people and to bring order to the universe, albeit through very KnightTemplar behavior.

* ''Comicbook/SupermanRedSon'': Franchise/{{Superman}} is a totalitarian dictator who brainwashes any domestic political threat [[spoiler:including Batman]], [[ThouShaltNotKill but values human life enough to never kill anybody]] and - to himself, at least - has humanity's best interests at heart, while Comicbook/LexLuthor is totally obsessed with bringing Superman down rather than liberating humanity from Superman's yoke but does so by attempting to prove that he is the better leader. In other words, in this story, Superman's intentions are good but his means are evil, whereas Luthor's is the other way around.

* ''Franchise/AlienVsPredator'', in both comics and video games, as the Franchise/{{Alien}} is not much sentient, the Franchise/{{Predator}} borders on BlueAndOrangeMorality, and the humans are most times just doing their jobs. Whoever it's the villain depends on the viewpoint character.

* ''ComicBook/VForVendetta'': V is a WellIntentionedExtremist trying to bring down the brutally fascist Norsefire regime and its LawfulStupid… Well-Intentioned Extremists. V was portrayed as ALighterShadeOfGrey but still an NominalHero, and the ending pulled no punches about the fact that while getting rid of Norsefire was a good thing in the long run, the short to medium term consequences were ''not'' going to be pretty.

* Charley's War from ComicBook/Battle had both the Germans and English during First World War as NotSoDifferent, which the characters had both a fair share of generally good people being forced into war and SociopathicSoldier. In contrast, the commanders from both sides are generally made up of GeneralRipper with exceptions like [[AFatherToHisMen Lieutenant Thomas]].
