At least one or two webcomics do decent science-fiction: Mark Stanley's Freefall and Tailsteak's The Sixth TV. (The navigation on the latter is a bit odd: click on the arrows with the red symbol to move through just this story.) Thre are probably plenty of others I haven't found yet.
The Integral Trees is pretty high on my list of good science-fiction. It took an interesting scientific idea, the Smoke Ring, and built up a pretty neat world around it. I can't see where the fantasy came in - nobody was waving magic wands, so far as I recall.

Scott's blog mentions a fair few other comics using BitPass.
Personally, I don't sweat blood over one cent. At that price, if it looks remotely interesting I'll risk it.

Thomas K Dye's Newshounds is worth a look.
