In the Bleak Midwinter;
We are kicking off this list with one of our favorites, In the Bleak Midwinter; by Kat and Ali. With 25 years to go on her soulmate timer and the loss of her sister, Anya decides to sleep away her problems by getting cryogenically put under. Talk about avoidance. But things go from bad to worse when she awakens to an apocalypse packed with killers, illness and terror. Now she has to keep her eyes forward as she decides what she wants to keep – her heart or her head.

LoveBot
Our next sci-fi WEBTOON series is Chase Keels and Miranda Mundt‘s LoveBot. Set in 2049, highly advanced and affectionate robots have become primary companions for humanity. The story follows Xada, who makes a living by modifying these robots to fit their owners’ every need. But things take a wild turn when his newest job leaves the LoveBot strangely sentient. It’s a sci-fi adventure that dives into topics on human connection and love as Xada uncovers the truth behind the LoveBot’s existence. Seriously, this is such a great read and should be on everyone’s list.

TACIT
One of our favorite genre mashups is sci-fi and action, which is why KimDazzi’s TACIT is a must-read. In the near future (which is never good), the world is a desolate wasteland occupied by the undead. See, never good. The story follows Ruby, who seems to have a relatively good life until Arvan arrives. The young white-haired man with pale skin and no heartbeat takes their life and flips it upside down. This sci-fi WEBTOON is packed with mystery and action that will occupy your waking moments.
Tacit updates every Friday and can be read here!
Nexus Point
The next sci-fi WEBTOON you have to read for National Science Fiction Day is Trevor Mueller and Sebastian von Buchwald‘s Nexus Point. It follows Gemi, who just landed her dream tech job, only to find out that she is at the top of someone’s hit list. This drags her into the world of cybercrime and into the path of detective-turned-bounty-hunter Jack Travis. But that isn’t enough suspense and twists because now Jack needs to deal with his past coming back to haunt him, and he needs Gemi’s help. It’s a cyber adventure you aren’t going to want to miss.

Haxor
Walter Ostlie‘s Haxor needs no introduction. The sci-fi WEBTOON takes diving into the cyberverse to the next level. When the internet is replaced with The Frame, a hyper-fast network of instant connection and accessibility, all bets are off. This rollercoaster of adventure, action and sci-fi will have you on the edge of your seat. It’s a short read (37 chapters), so it’s perfect for tying in with other fun sci-fi activities. And if you love Ostile’s work, we suggest checking out Ghost Bats next.

Dents
What is the recipe for a good sci-fi WEBTOON? An apocalyptic future, an ancient plague, people born with extraordinary powers and underground societies. If any of this appeals to you, then Beth Behrs, Matt Doyle and Sid Kotian‘s Dents needs to be your next read. It’s an action, sci-fi, mystery, suspense, thriller and dive into human connection all rolled into one. It’s a must-read in our book.

The Prince of Southland
Did you think we would forget about Chris Geroux‘s The Prince of Southland? Not only is this a fantastic sci-fi WEBTOON, but it is also one of our top WEBTOON reads for 2022. When Donnie Ali’s reputation takes a turn for the worse after kissing an android, he finds himself in another potential scandal when he saves Jensen. The series isn’t just a sci-fi romance but a way to look at relationships and how the world judges things that they don’t understand. You will fall in love with this story but will also find that it gives you quite a lot to think about as well.
The Prince of Southland is currently on hiatus and can be read here!

So, when a citywide bounty is announced, and every citizen is given $1000, Amelia must make a hard choice.
