RetroBlade is an ongoing Science fantasy webcomic, written and illustrated by Freya Horn. It launched in 2015 and currently updates weekly.

Content
RetroBlade features time travel and symbiotic forces, known in the RetroBlade universe as Augments.

The comic begins in a post-apocalyptic setting in the distant future. It is here where the main protagonist Axel Kepler is introduced. Following a disaster described as a reality crash, a series of events lead him to travel back in time to attempt to change things for the better.

Since time travel is a central feature of the plot, the setting and mood of the comic changes with each era, as seen in Chapter One where Axel finds himself in a utopian metropolis. It is here that he teams up with a second protagonist, Doctor S.

The story takes place in an alternate universe, which the author has described as "very much like Earth, but in an alternate timeline that branched off from our own millennia ago". RetroBlade also deals in concepts such as higher dimensional beings, portals, fate and destiny, premonitions, and the line between science and fantasy often blurs. The art style is noted for it's bold use of colour.

Augments
Augment is a blanket term in RetroBlade for a variety of forces and abilities. There are two varieties of Augment: Known Augments so far include:
 * Original Augments: eight fabled forces that kept the world in balance, and could be wielded by individuals known as Guardians. These types of Augment are described during the Prologue.
 * Synthetic Augments: scientific alterations that create enhanced abilities, such as infrared vision and electrical manipulation.
 * Eterna, an Original Augment borne by the Guardian Maia, although it's effects are not yet described.
 * Electronic Flux borne by Doctor S. Abilities include electricity manipulation and the ability to interact with electronic systems. This Augment also makes telepathic communication possible with bearers of Augmented Reality.
 * Flux borne by Doctor T. A weaker, more experimental version of Electronic Flux, it seems it was the first iteration of this Augment.
 * Augmented Reality (a retinal implant containing a brain-machine interface. Both Axel and Alexis have this type of Augmentation.
