Title: Webcomics
Post by: quadibloc on Fri, 25 February 2011, 21:05:09: I'm sure that some members of this forum have a little extra time on their computers that they spend looking at webcomics.

The famous Girl Genius (http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) web comic has an active wiki and several active forums.

I've also found the webcomic The Challenges of Zona (http://www.soulgeek.com/comics/zona/) very interesting (caution: some mature content).

People not afraid of weighty political issues in their entertainment may like Escape From Terra (http://www.bigheadpress.com/eft), a science-fiction web comic from an anarcho-capitalist perspective.

And the comic Spinnerette (http://www.krakowstudios.com/spinnerette/) takes the superhero genre and puts an amusing and engaging spin on it.

Post by: quadibloc on Fri, 25 February 2011, 21:32:28: Oh, and I forgot to mention Eerie Cuties (http://www.eeriecuties.com/), drawn in a style reminiscent of Don de Carlo - and with some Japanese manga influence as well (Spinnerette is strongly manga-influenced).

Post by: vun on Wed, 02 March 2011, 02:15:05: Have probably gone through 250+ webcomics over the past 4 years or so, but these days I can only be arsed following a few; LICD, xkcd and so on, not many unique hidden gems really. I have found a few gems here and there through the years, but a lot of them update as fast as molasses going uphill in January or simply just die for no apparent reason. After cleaning up my webcomic bookmarks I'm left with roughly 90+ comics.

Also, MacHall is worth mentioning, even though it's not updated anymore. Instead they're doing Threepanelsoul now, updates every now and then.

Post by: vun on Sat, 21 September 2013, 09:08:14: Might as well revive this thread; I've been on a massive webcomic binge recently, re-read a bunch of webcomics I didn't pay that much attention to first time around and some that it's simply been so long since last time I read them.

Managed to dig up a comic I'd nearly forgotten about; Never Mind The Gap (http://nmg.thecomicseries.com/). It's a really cute small town romance comic, although there's quite a bit of nudity and other nsfw content. Still, if you don't mind a bit of nudity in your comics then I can highly recommend it.

Modest Medusa (http://www.modestmedusa.com/) is another cute comic, good art and well worth a read.

Currently there are about 40 comics that I follow, I won't bother listing all of them right now, but I'll post links to more and more as I come up with things to say about them I guess.

Post by: Phedran on Sat, 21 September 2013, 15:58:17: I go through phases with webcomics. I've read loads of them, but I rarely stick with one continuously from start to finish. Then again, the ones that actually end are outside of the norm.

For what it's worth, Calvin and Hobbes is my favorite comic of all time. Pure genius.

Couldn't agree more. This strip alone elevated comics to literature.

I also read Questionable Content regularly.
