Cyber cowboys

| I'm not sure if this belongs here or in another board so idk if mods will move it, but it's a multimedia question so I didn't wanna isolate this to one specific board.

Can anybody recommend any good pieces of media that feature or revolve around futuristic/space/cyberpunk cowboys/cowboy archetypes.

I've always had thing for that very niche part of media, as I'm a fan of both cowboys and science fiction, and times when I've seen them mixed in the past it's really appealed to me.


| Anything from series to movies to artwork to music.

I'm interested to see if there's more of this niche for me to explore.


| Well, Cowboy Bebop and the Cowboy Bebop movie are pretty obvious, and you've most likely watched them. That's all I know though, sadly.


| For anime, my personal favorite was Outlaw Star. Firefly was also a cult live action show (and its movie, Serenity) which heavily featured similar themes to Cowboy Bebop.


| >>669764 Hey I've never checked out firefly for fear of investing in a dead series and being frustrated by that.
Maybe I'll give it a shot.


| >>669766

Enjoy!


| I know there's at least one Doctor Who episode with a cyborg cowboy (S7E3)


| Maybe this will interest you gurl

| >>669950 Oh shit, y'know I almost bought a compilation of overwatch comics last year.
If I'd have known about this I'd have checked it out sooner.

Definitely gonna give this a read later tonight.
Thank you.


| If anybody else is interested in this whole cyber cowboy thing I thought I'd just throw out a music recommendation that always gets me in the mood.

Knights of Cydonia by Muse is a great song that captures the atmosphere of a futuristic Western, and the video is pure silly comedy goodness:

| Westworld is technically about cyber cowboys, though it might not be the aesthetic you are going for


| >>670186 Oh shit I forgot about Westworld. I've been meaning to check it out for a while just because people say it's a pretty good price of cyberpunk media.

Is it as good as people say? I've always worried it might have fallen victim to the quality decline a lot of popular shows get.


| >>670189 I dunno, I don't watch tv shows often. The first season had some cool plot twists, and I haven't seen the second one


| >>669950 Finally got around to giving the comic a read. Little disappointed when I realised it was only a few pages, but quite enjoyable regardless.

Thanks for sharing it.

Oh also where can I get ahold of more overwatch comics? That one kinda gave me a taste for them.
