| - Cwynhild's Loom is a hard science fiction webcomic written and drawn by Autumn Lansing. Taking place in the mid-24th century on a terraformed Mars, the plot revolves around the life of Cwynhild Faer, a cybernetically-enhanced former military officer who is on the run after she and others like her, known as Valkyries, refused to submit to a government program to deactivate their tech, a process known as "clipping," the end result of which would leave them crippled or dead. Though humor is present, the comic focuses more on elements of action/adventure, mystery and intrigue.

| - Cwynhild's Loom is a hard science fiction webcomic written and drawn by Autumn Lansing. Taking place in the mid-24th century on a terraformed Mars, the plot revolves around the life of Cwynhild Faer, a cybernetically-enhanced former military officer who is on the run after she and others like her, known as Valkyries, refused to submit to a government program to deactivate their tech, a process known as "clipping," the end result of which would leave them crippled or dead. Trying to stay one step ahead of those who would hunt her down, Cwynhild travels around the planet with Jake Edwards, a former military pilot whose Valkyrie wife died as a result of being clipped. They're aided by Amon Thorn, the robotocist who created the Valkyrie program. Thorn travels and interacts with them through a remote device which resembles a floating orb. Also prominent in the story is Fiona Nightingale, the daughter of Ezekiel Nightingale, the second richest man on Mars, who is suspicious of her father's activities and enlists Cwyn to help discover what they are. The elder Nightingale operates a robotech corporation which supplied much of the equipment used to enhance the Valkyries as well as much of the equipment that was used in the clipping program, though he claims to support the renegade soldiers' cause. The story, currently in its first book, is set in the small, remote, mining town of Prosperity. Though humor is present, the comic focuses more on elements of action/adventure, mystery and intrigue.
