Science fiction (YA comics)

Science fiction is the 'what if' of writing. What if science advanced far enough that we were able to do this? What if time travel was possible? What if gene-editing or space travel or aliens or dimensional portals or artificial intelligences impacted society in a way that made it very different (or, terrifyingly, not that different)?

Or you know, there could be space ships and rockets and aliens and huge explosions and new planets with giant hungry creatures.

Whatever brand of science fiction you're after, here's a short list of comic, graphic novel, and manga titles you might like if you're into sci-fi.
