Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Outer Darkness is a 2018–present comic book from Image Comics and Robert Kirkman's Skybound. The basic premise is: what if one began with Gene Roddenberry's Wagon Train to the Stars concept, but every trail and destination were extremely haunted, and the oxen and wagon wheels demanded blood sacrifice to function?Joshua Jerome Rigg returns to the captain's chair of the Charon, "the Galactic Service's finest deep space retriever." The Charon and its crew are headed all the way beyond the Sagittarius Quadrant into the outer darkness past the galaxy's edges. Their only mission: rescue and retrieve somebody the Galactic Service High Command has decided is invaluable to the war against the dryx, a nebulous empire of Bee People.There are bad things all the way from known space to the Charon's destination, from necro-storms full of rapacious spirits to blue giant stars possessed by demi-Satans, and the animosity among the ship's command staff magnifies the seriousness of each crisis. Rigg is a maverick, particularly at odds with the by-the-book demeanor of Ship Administrator Soreena Prakash and First Officer Alastor Satalis, and he has a personal stake in making it to the outer darkness. Someone important to him is lost there, and Rigg won't let anyone get in the way of bringing her back.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A 3-issue Crossover series, Outer Darkness/Chew was published in 2020. | |

| Outer Darkness (Comic Book) / int_7b9ac4aa | comment |
Blood-Spattered Innocents: A simple but useful subversion. The Charon's trip past the demi-Satan star in issue #2 manifests a blood demon in the corridor down which most of the command staff is running, and when Chief Exorcist Reno banishes it, the demon's body explodes in a fountain of gore, showering all present in blood. Afu Chan gives plenty of size to the panel where Reno explodes the demon, but while none present particularly like this outcome, the fact that they spend the rest of the issue casually performing their duties while painted head-to-foot in red says that nobody aboard a Galactic Service ship is innocent to this kind of thing. | |

| Outer Darkness (Comic Book) / int_d99d9918 | comment |
The Captain: Joshua Rigg is a Kirk-style captain, in that he leads from the front and acts as something of A Father to His Men by going to unusual lengths to eliminate crew losses…and diverges from that mold by failing to remember Ship Navigator Elox's name with consistency and plotting to eliminate a crew member who Rigg thinks will defy his authority far enough to compromise Rigg's personal goals. | |
