Sean Wang, an artist and writer who has worked on such comics as The Tick, began a SF adventure comic called Runners in 2000. The story follows the exploits of a band of alien smugglers as they “they struggle to complete hazardous runs through outlaw space and against all odds.”

He’s now decided to make the series available for free online, publishing one page a day at runnersuniverse. (The story starts here). The artwork is wonderful, and he also includes commentary on most of the pages. He’s currently publishing the original “Bad Goods” story arc, but says he’s got plans for several others afterward. Looks like fun.
