History Webcomic / SpacePulp

* AbsentAliens: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. Everyone's an alien; it's humans that are absent. "Poison monkeys" like Iridium Lake look human, but are still a distinct species. All the other aliens are obviously non-human. It has never been stated canonically whether humans are or ever were a part of this setting, though there has been plenty of speculation amongst readers (especially since it ''is'' known that all the alien species share a common ancestor...)

* GenreSavvy: Two Unity {{Super Soldier}}s introduced near the start of the story turn out to be smart enough to ''get out of the way and hide'' as soon as the hero starts doing her thing. As a result, they end up being the only {{mooks}} to survive Iridium Lake's escape from the Unity prison. Unfortunately, their superiors mistake sensible cowardice for skill, and they're forced to tag along with the Unity task force in pursuit of Lake. They become {{Recurring Character}}s -- usually distinguishable by the way they always cautiously hang behind the other {{mooks}}.

There's also some romance and sex, plenty of humour, lots of PsychicPowers, and the occasional SpacePirate.

A [[SciFiWebcomics science fiction webcomic]] by view, the artist behind ''Webcomic/NeverMindTheGap''. Compared to the latter, ''Space Pulp'' is a lighter work, and lies [[MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness closer to the "soft" end]] of science fiction -- [[PulpMagazine as the name would suggest]]. However, as with view's other comics, the reader needs to pay attention to follow the twists and turns of the story.

* MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness: Level 2 -- Mohs/WorldOfPhlebotinum. There is plenty of made-up physics and essentially magical powers, but there are also consistent rules for how these things work.

Imagine a FilmNoir DefectiveDetective cast in the role of a [[StarWars Jedi Knight]] to fight a humorously incompetent version of [[StarTrek the Borg]], and you'll get the general idea.

* MST3KMantra: In the comments, view has noted on a few occasions that this comic is not meant to be [[MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness hard]] science fiction, and that the reader has to accept things like swords made out of magical space energy, psychic powers, etc. Still, there are some pretty consistent rules about how such elements of the story work, and view has ShownTheirWork in planning out the comic's setting in detail on many occasions.
