History Main / TheFuture

* "AeonFlux", though no real time is indicated, and the setup itself seems to change episode to episode.

** In the DC Comics CrisisCrossover ''DCOneMillion'', half of the story takes place in the 853rd century (farther into the future than any other previous DC story, not counting the ones involving the End of Time). A highly detailed setting was created for this in which the entire solar system has gotten {{terraform}}ed into Earthlike worlds, the whole human race has telepathic access to the Internet, and most amazing of all, descendants of DC's greatest heroes are STILL active!

* Silver Age hero Tommy Tomorrow was a denizen of the far future.

* [[DCComics DC's]] ''Electric Warrior'' by [[MoonKnight Doug Moensch.]]

* DavidBrin's ''Literature/{{Uplift}}'' series features elements of the Stupid Newbie Humans version of 'near-future' (within this millennium) space opera.

* ''Webcomic/BreakpointCity'' begins with ABoyAndHisDog traveling to the future and chronicles their wacky hijinks.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Paranoia}}'' is set in [[AlternativeCalendar Year 214 of The Computer]][[hottip:*:though that's just because "Year 214" sounds nice, so who knows how long It's really been in power]], with Troubleshooters packing laser pistols and rooting out [[RedScare Commie mutant traitors]][[hottip:*:due to a filing glitch, The Computer found some civil defense records from 1957 and mistook it for current intel]].

* The [[http://www.jtillustration.com/woi Warlord of Io]]" graphic novel is set in the year 2853 A.D., shortly before the fabulous year 3000 of Rocket Robin Hood fame.

* ''Webcomic/LastRes0rt" goes all the way to the 41st century.

-->-- ''PlanNineFromOuterSpace''

* MarvelComics's answer to the LegionOfSuperHeroes was the original BronzeAge GuardiansOfTheGalaxy (not be confused with their ModernAge namesake, which is set in the present day). Eventually, it was established via RetCon that this was the future of a ParallelUniverse, and not the MarvelUniverse proper.

* ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps2'' has levels set in 2025, and flashbacks set in the 1980s.

* ''MassEffect'' takes place in A.D. 2183-2186. The relative closeness to the present day is a result of discovering AppliedPhlebotinum on Mars, soon followed by the formation of [[TheAlliance the Systems Alliance]] and encountering [[TheFederation the Citadel Council]], both events resulting in humanity making technological leaps that otherwise wouldn't have come about for centuries, if at all.

* Manga/{{ARIA}} takes place in the 24th Century on the planet Aqua, formerly known as Mars before terraforming transformed it into a water-covered paradise.

* Any MarvelComics story featuring time travelers like Kang or Cable is likely to give glimpses of their respective future worlds. Notably, since Marvel (DependingOnTheWriter, anyway) subscribes to a "branching timeline" theory of time travel, these futures need not agree with one another.
* ''Comicbook.ManTech'' is set in the future, though we don't know how far; the heroes' SleeperShip from Earth was discovered after having been adrift for an unknown length of time.

** It's still close enough to the present, though, that present-day pop culture and religion remain intact--mention is made, for instance, of "OldYeller: The Centennial Remastered Edition".

Marvel comics has {{Marvel2099}} which is a CyberPunk world inhabited by LegacyCharacter heroes. It's legal to sell dangerously addictive drugs and the CorruptCorporateExecutive types are even more ruthless. The future kind of sucks. But hey! There's also mass produced holograms and cool genetic engineering stuff!
