Nebula is a 2013-2017 Sci-fi/slice of life webcomic about the solar system, a very dysfunctional Cast of Personifications.Basically, it's a drama comic (with no few moments of humor) about The Solar System/space objects in general, which are all sentient and humanoid (apart from the fact that they have representations of what they actually are for heads). It takes various characteristics of various celestial bodies and turns them into character traits and social situations - Earth is seen by her neighbors as overly interested in what everyone else is doing, Pluto is something of an outcast, Jupiter keeping a comet in orbit around him is regarded about the way as trying to keep a wild animal you found on the street would be, etc.It has a rotating focus per comic, with pretty much all of the characters getting the limelight at some point— especially now that there's an on-going Story Arc about a mysterious being who has contacted Earth and Pluto, and who has plans of her own for the dwarf planets.You can find Nebula Ultra, which contains comics 1-15 and the short story "Nix") for sale (pay what you want) at Gumroad here. Nebula Spectra, which contains comics 16 and 17 as well as the short story "Proco", can be found here.Otherwise, the Ghostfruits tumblr has nearly all the comics and short stories online here.Compare Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls, My Moon, Stellarscape, and Planetary Moe. | |

Never Split the Party | |
| Nebula (Webcomic) / int_15adb9a8 | comment |
Never Split the Party: Mars and Earth agree they should try to stick close together with the rest of the planets in case something happens with Sun. It doesn't end up helping though, as it turns out Sun isn't the one they needed to worry about. | |

Right Behind Me | |
| Nebula (Webcomic) / int_170128e9 | comment |
Right Behind Me: Sun interrupts in the middle of Jupiter's rant about how he needs to do more to try to surpass him. Since Sun's not exactly inconspicuous, it might double as Failed a Spot Check on Jupiter's part. | |

Four-Philosophy Ensemble | |
| Nebula (Webcomic) / int_1759ff85 | comment |
Four-Philosophy Ensemble: For the inner solar system, Earth is the Optimist (has faith in and believes the best of people, eager to make friends, pursues her curiosity without much concern for consequences), Mars is the Cynic (pessimistic about the chances of his own survival, withdrawn and sullen in response to Earth's friendliness but is nonetheless correct in most of his assertions), Venus is the Realist (focuses on getting the best results, keeps a level head) and Sun is the Apathetic (too aloof to be involved in most conflicts between the planets, has enigmatic motivations and goals, and is a different species entirely from the rest of the characters). And arguably the outer planets: Jupiter is the Optimist (believes completely that he'll be able to kill Sun one day despite no actual plan, stubborn and utterly self-confident in personality), Saturn the Cynic (keeps their distance from the rest of the planets, thinks that if their moons were alive they would hate them), Neptune the Realist (acts as a mediator between Uranus, Jupiter, and Venus, remains quietly in the background most of the time), and Uranus the Apathetic (unconcerned with everyone else's problems, has far different priorities than the people they interact with and screws with people for no reason but It Amused Me). | |

All There in the Manual: Details about the larger relations between and characteristics of stars, planets, and dwarf planets are on the official Tumblr, but haven't come up in the actual comics yet. (Beware of spoilers- it's unwise to start looking through those answers before being caught up, since some directly relate to large plot twists.) | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Nebula (Webcomic) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: The miscommunication between Pluto and the planets, though for once it isn't really the characters' faults. Dwarf planets and planets are physically unable to communicate with each other, but Pluto and the rest of the solar system doesn't know that. This leads the planets to assume that Pluto is lurking silently and ignoring their greetings deliberately, and for Pluto to think that the planets have never tried to talk to or befriend him at all. Sun's refusal to communicate with the rest of planets or to tell anyone that what's wrong with him is that he's sick causes a lot of worry for Mars, and eventually leads to him losing trust in Sun altogether. | |

Asskicking Leads to Leadership | |
| Nebula (Webcomic) / int_1cc527d7 | comment |
Asskicking Leads to Leadership: How the social structures in space tend to end up — the biggest and strongest ones there, the stars, control the smaller and weaker planets on the grounds that they're... bigger and stronger and they can burn people to death if they want to. How good of a job they do of it depends on the star, though most do seem to feel a genuine urge to protect their planets. | |

Title In: Most comics begin with the intentionally vague statement of "Really far away. Really long ago"note Or reversed— "Really long ago. Really far away." over a shot of the main character(s) of that comic. Occasionally, this is changed: #9 and #17 have no opening at all and go straight to action. #12 is "Someday soon, one would hope" #15 is "Right here. Right now." | |

Cold-Blooded Torture: What Ceres uses their powers to do the planets, keeping them in incredible pain while their bodies slowly crumble to pieces.

| Nebula (Webcomic) / int_4783acfa | comment |
Bait the Dog: Despite the fear the planets have towards her, Black Hole spends most of her time at first befriending Pluto and telling him to stop pretending that the planets care about him. Hard as she is on them, it's hard to argue with the fact that she's right— the planets don't see Pluto as a friend, and he isn't one of them. The reader can start to feel that she might be a case of Dark Is Not Evil— harsh, strange, and creepy, but maybe not evil. And then she lies to Pluto, sends Ceres to their death, and nearly kills the planets. | |

Downer Ending: In #15, Black Hole successfully convinces Pluto that the others are nothing but monsters and convinces him to join her in the void, with horrible consequences to him. The planets are still injured and traumatized from what she did, and Sun has to live with the fact that he had to kill someone with his bare hands who didn't fight back or even necessarily know what was going on in order to save them. | |

Wham Line: "I'm hungry." (#3) Up until that line there was no way of knowing what exactly Sun meant about being sick, as he himself admits that he doesn't really how to explain what was wrong with him. That line reveals it's Horror Hunger. That single line changes how all his subsequent interactions with the planets are viewed. "It's like it's coming from... inside of me?" (#9) Earth reveals that not only does Black Hole have an active interest in the planets, she has outright supernatural powers. "...Yeah." (#15) Pluto agrees to leave the solar system behind and join Black Hole, giving up his idealistic dreams of becoming friends with the rest of the solar system and cementing Ceres' death as his Cynicism Catalyst. | |

Painting the Medium | |
| Nebula (Webcomic) / int_5009999d | comment |
Painting the Medium: Black Hole's dialogue appears directly onto the page with no word bubbles around it, is very large, is shown in a pixelated font, and usually has some kind of glitch effect around it. Fitting, as she's a Humanoid Abomination with telepathic powers. Ceres' dialogue/thoughts appear the same way Pluto's do, but are a garbled jumble of letters overlaying each other so thick that they're impossible to read; both the characters in the comic and the readers are completely unable to figure out what they want. After being consumed by Black Hole, Pluto's speech is distorted the same way. | |

Cast of Personifications | |
| Nebula (Webcomic) / int_643dbca5 | comment |
Cast of Personifications: All characters in the comic are the mostly-humanoid personifications of celestial bodies, with the solar system being the main characters. They act out various space phenomena in a human manner: Earth gets into other planets' personal space and asks them intrusive questions, Sun is in charge because everyone is intimidated by him, etc. | |

Understatement: Earth admits that Mars looks "a little rough" when she's just finished putting bandages over most of his face after it nearly cracked apart and the rest of his body is visibly injured in a similar manner. In this case, it's due to forced optimism rather than snark. | |

Protectorate: The planets are one for Sun: he sees it as his duty to protect them from any dangers out there, and in return expects their obedience. This relationship gradually starts to fray during the comic as Sun's behavior becomes more and more erratic. | |

Being Watched: The sense that there's something out in the dark watching them helps make an already tense situation (Sun's recent Hair-Trigger Temper and Thousand-Yard Stare, Jupiter's increasing lack of subtlety in his plans to take over the solar system, Earth Hearing Voices that no one else does) worse. The fact that something is watching them doesn't make it any better. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Mars delivers one to Earth when she tries to find out more about him, accusing her of not really caring about what he's like and that she's just trying to befriend people to satisfy her own curiosity. Earth doesn't really have a reply or rebuttal to it, and is left dumbstruck as he walks off. | |

Transformation Horror | |
| Nebula (Webcomic) / int_7eda7f78 | comment |
Transformation Horror: Used in different ways for Sun and the dwarf planets consumed by Black Hole. Sun is slowly changing into something else, growing physically much larger and burning hotter, and is conscious and terrified of the fact that his personality is changing along with it. The transformation for dwarf planets is very rapid and makes them look outright monstrous (see Transformation of the Possessed below), with their minds either subsumed or controlled by Black Hole once the transformation is done. | |

And arguably the outer planets: Jupiter is the Optimist (believes completely that he'll be able to kill Sun one day despite no actual plan, stubborn and utterly self-confident in personality), Saturn the Cynic (keeps their distance from the rest of the planets, thinks that if their moons were alive they would hate them), Neptune the Realist (acts as a mediator between Uranus, Jupiter, and Venus, remains quietly in the background most of the time), and Uranus the Apathetic (unconcerned with everyone else's problems, has far different priorities than the people they interact with and screws with people for no reason but It Amused Me). | |

Used to Be More Social: Mars mentions that Sun's suddenly become a lot more withdrawn, never seeming to interact with the others anymore and being distant when he does. While Mars himself admits he doesn't know why, the readers can surmise that it ties into what Sun admitted at the end of #3 about being 'hungry'. | |

Mood Whiplash: #8 is a lighthearted comic about Uranus' attempts to befriend Jupiter... followed by one of the most dramatic comics, #9: Sun's confrontation with Mars and the introduction of Black Hole, the main villain of the comic. #13 is humor about Jupiter and Sun completely failing at having a non-awkward conversation with each other about dinner... and is followed by #14 and #15, which are Black Hole trying to convince Pluto to join her and the planets very nearly being painfully murdered. #15 itself, which switches back and forth between showing Pluto's joy at discovering that he isn't alone to the horror and agony the planets are experiencing as Sun frantically tries to save them. | |

Horror Hunger | |
| Nebula (Webcomic) / int_cf7b362 | comment |
"I'm hungry." (#3) Up until that line there was no way of knowing what exactly Sun meant about being sick, as he himself admits that he doesn't really how to explain what was wrong with him. That line reveals it's Horror Hunger. That single line changes how all his subsequent interactions with the planets are viewed. | |

Red Filter of Doom | |
| Nebula (Webcomic) / int_d0a46264 | comment |
Red Filter of Doom: The last few panels of comic #3 are silent shots of the rest of the characters of the solar system, all tinted red, and then Sun's ominous final lines. | |

One-Word Title | |
| Nebula (Webcomic) / int_d0f0a80d | comment |
One-Word Title: A nebula is a large cloud of dust and gas in outer space, and archaically any diffuse celestial object such as a galaxy. The comic is about characters who personify different celestial objects, and who all reside in outer space; they therefor reside inside and are parts of a nebula- in this case, the Milky Way. | |

Power Fantasy: Jupiter's daydream about how things will be different once he's in charge, featuring him as king of the planets and everyone bowing and scraping to him. Also, he's inexplicably on fire. It crosses over with Dream Sue, with how the rest of the dream characters act like he's the single greatest thing to ever grace the world with his presence. | |

Vitriolic Best Buds: Earth and Mars, though the vitriol is only on Mars' side. Earth just sincerely thinks of him as a good friend of hers, while Mars denies any sort of affection for her and treats her coldly unless things are really darn serious. | |

Continuity Creep | |
| Nebula (Webcomic) / int_de7891ec | comment |
Continuity Creep: The comic was mostly self-contained and consisted of humorous antics early on and gradually grew into a more continuity-heavy storyline. By #7 the different comics were interconnected enough that the authors started including links to prior installments in The Rant. | |

Conveniently Close Planet | |
| Nebula (Webcomic) / int_f226207f | comment |
Conveniently Close Planet: Played with. The planets in the solar system are portrayed as close enough together that hanging out and talking between them is easy, regardless of how far they really should be from each other. On the other hand, the distance between various star systems is shown to be just as enormously huge and impassible as it is in reality. In other words, while the planets are conveniently close, the stars are not. | |

Non-Indicative First Episode | |
| Nebula (Webcomic) / int_f2e0b65f | comment |
Non-Indicative First Episode: In the first comic, everyone is far more openly dismissive of Earth and her (justified) panic over the meteor, and are just generally reluctant to interact with each other at all while in later installments they actively seek each other out. Only Mars really remains that way, and he turns into more of a Jerk with a Heart of Gold. | |

Dumbass Has a Point: It's pointed out by Mars that even though Jupiter usually just blames Sun for everything and thinks the worst of him because he hates him, in this particular instance Sun really is acting weirdly hostile and unhelpful and it's actually rational to think he's up to something. | |
