We Only Find Them When They're Dead

In We Only Find Them When They're Dead, a grim sci-fi epic from Bragelonne that launched in 2021, humanity has expanded into the cosmos only to discover that the universe's most powerful beings are found as corpses—and their bodies are stripped for resources. The series follows the crew of a salvage ship as they harvest these dead gods, navigating the political, spiritual, and existential fallout of their gruesome trade. Written by Al Ewing with striking art by Simone Di Meo, this 3-issue run matters for its audacious premise: a space opera that turns the concept of divine discovery into a brutal, haunting meditation on exploitation and legacy.
