I always feel really dumb when reading it because it's clear the author is an astrophysicist, but I still enjoy it because it's quite warm and does a really good job of developing the characters. Honestly I think the only real one-note character is Kornada and he's very deliberately that because he represents a grey goo machine in the form of unchecked capitalism.

Freefall, extremly good webcomic

I’d argue freefall is one of, if not THE best hard Sci-fi webcomics of all time.

And the longest running webcomic with very little downtime like other comics suffer from.

One more on the pile from me, Freefall is very very good (the political stuff I found a little less strong but there's not much of it).
Also if you're a furry you'll have a very interesting and sympathetic self insert character.

Do you know if there is a way you can easily read it without relying on the HTML version?

Love it. Same energy as a Terry Pratchett protagonist. Tested, realistic optimism is the strongest kind of optimism.

I learned something about the core of myself when a fellow discworld fan coined the phrase "militant decency" to describe Sam Vimes
