Hello! For a bit over a year, I've been working on Parhelion (https://parhelioncomic.com/), a comic about a pirate and bureaucrat trying to cross a galaxy full of weird aliens and schemes.
I tried to make a comic I would love to archive-delve: the main themes are webs of bureaucratic power, overlapping and conflicting motives, morphological freedom, and trying to do your best with limited information.
Chapters are generally short-ish, and hop around a number of plot threads- side plots include people who want some peace and quiet (https://parhelioncomic.com/comic/interlude-4-page-1-ready-for-takeoff/), a horrid person under a lot of stress (https://parhelioncomic.com/comic/interlude-3-page-1-data-mining/), being dragged back into family politicking (https://parhelioncomic.com/comic/interlude-7-page-1-family-business/), and more. They overlap in ways big and small, and every side plot thread has been introduced by now- it's just a matter of having them overlap more frequently and intensely.
Thank you for your readership and feedback!
