What webcomics do you follow?

[Sinewmire]

Stand Still, Stay Silent

I can't overstate how great this comic is. Near-future post-apocalytic, set in the Nordic lands. Thanks to the world going dark (horrible gribbly monster virus) the old ways are coming back.

Delves into Finnish folklore, especially, and lots of humour with some really disturbingly gross monsters.

Beautiful art.

[2Comic2Furious]

One of the first, if not the very first for me (and probably through the original miniseries) was Crossed: Wish You Were Here.

It was up for free as it was being published and ended up being superior to all of the printed for sale material, even those written by Alan Moore. You can also buy this as well in print.

The character work is exceptional and the story was first class, though word of warning, it could get quite horrific.

Crossed: WYWH Archive

I miss the forums which were closed down some time ago. A lot of good discussion there.

The art does look fabulous. I'd love to get some time to look into it.

I'll put in another good word for Cucumber Quest. The story's alright, but I don't think any other webcomic can be so damned beautiful.

Wonderella is demented and brilliant. Crossed is pretty hard going, but has it's merits. And although I started a thread about it already, Weapon Brown is a tour de force.

Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic


But the webcomic universe is vast, my own is but a speck.

[An Enemy Spy]

OOTS, obviously. Also Darths and Droids and The Draw Play which is comic making fun of the NFL and is of no interest to people who aren't football fans.

I want to like Draw Play, but it's like 99% just poorly drawn versions of the "jokes" that the NFL subreddit has already beaten to death. I'm pretty sure he does it on purpose to pander to them. I can see how it's entertaining if you don't use that sub much though.

[Rogar Demonblud]

I've started on Freefall again, and am up to the trial.

[5a Violista]

Coincidentally, I've got a list of comics that I've read (as well as how frequently) on this computer desktop. (Aside: it's actually not a coincidence. After thinking about this thread, I decided to go through that Top Webcomics site and list all of the comics that I've read, as well as a few that I couldn't see on there but I still read. Didn't go all the way through the website, though. Then, I organized the list. I won't include the comics that I stopped because I lost interest in them or disliked, and so on...so, here we go.

Spoiler: Comics that I no longer read because they ended

Show

Erstwhile Tales - I don't actually know if this is available anymore. It was basically a retelling of different old stories from way back when, as drawn by three different artists (they switched artist every story).
The Ten Tailors of Weston Court - http://tentailors.thecomicseries.com/ - The story is basically over; the writer just seems to be adding in a bit to a bonus after-story every couple months or so. It's a background story to The Wolf at Weston Court, where the artist challenged herself to using a limited color palette.
Abby Normal - http://abbynormal.thecomicseries.com/ - was a fun story, but the artist decided to reboot it and I haven't gotten around to reading the reboot. Basically about a couple of undead hanging about in a postapocalyptic world, with really cute art.
- there was this other comic I really enjoyed, but it ended and I can't remember its name. It took place in a college setting, and one of the side characters was invisible...I just remember that I really enjoyed it.

Spoiler: Comics that I no longer read but might restart when have time

Show

Stand Still, Stay Silent - http://www.sssscomic.com/ - a beautiful comic with neat folklore elements. I started reading it when it when it was starting, but then forgot about it until I no longer had time to catch up
Quantum Vibe - http://www.quantumvibe.com/ - a cool sci-fi that I started reading because I was reading too many fantasy comics. I caught up and...stopped reading
Fey Winds - http://www.feywinds.com/ - a fantasy comic that has a really cool setting. Again...caught up and stopped reading
dream*scar - http://dream-scar.net/ - sort of a supernatural drama story? It has lots of neat concepts but I stopped reading because it seems to update sporadically
Snow by Night - http://www.snowbynight.com/ - I love this story; takes place in Canada and has folklore elements as well, about two guys and a spirit of winter
Damsels Don't Wear Glasses - http://damsels-dont-wear-glasses.com/ - A cool story with...a techo-fantasy-ish setting? I don't really know how to describe it, 'cause I haven't read it in a while. But the main heroine is really cool.
Shadowbinders - http://shadowbinders.clownfishtv.com/ - A neat fantasy comic with cool magic and ... I can't remember why I stopped reading it. Maybe it went on hiatus for a while and I never bothered to come back
The Last Halloween - https://www.last-halloween.com/ - a horror comic with some action. I stopped reading it when it reached a natural break in the story
The Wolf at Weston Court - http://thewolfatwestoncourt.thecomicseries.com/ - A cool story about a tailor who is also a wolf, but the artist's tablet seems to have died this January and can't continue for now

Spoiler: Comics I read every so often

Show

Replay - A postapocalyptic fantasy comic. Has a cool story, but I always seem to forget it exists whenever I have time to catch up on comics
Dumbing of Age - A college-centered comedic comic. I'd read it more often if I enjoyed it more.
PhD Comics - the further I get into my degree, the funner this one gets
El Goonish Shive - kind-of a teen drama with magic in the background?
I Dream of a Jeanie Bottle - A jerkish guy got a genie bottle and transformed into a certain genie from an old TV series.
Sailor Sun - by the same writer as Jeanie Bottle; the story about an unemployed Canadian actor who got screwed over by his employers by permanently transforming him into a woman...(I guess at this point, the main character identifies as a woman, now that the story is reaching its conclusion? Oh, well. Through most of the story, he privately identifies as male, so I'll keep on using male pronouns) Not even his daughter-from-the-future or his long-lost twin sister knows about it, though
Rubi Whipple - Okay, so I just started this one, but it seems cool so far. Just saw its title and thought "Oh, this might be cool."

Spoiler: The much longer list of comics that I read somewhat frequently

Show

Not A Villain - A post-apocalyptic story that mostly takes place in VR. It has really good complex characters.
Goblins - updates infrequently, but I still enjoy its story and its progress. D&D-style fantasy?
xkcd - Has really funny comics, thought-provoking comics, and comics that I don't find funny. Lots of math/language/art jokes, so that's cool.
The Order of the Stick - A neat D&D-style fantasy story, with cool characters and a really neat plot
Shotgun Shuffle - A story essentially about a lazy girl looking for employment. But it has really good character development, humor, setting, etc...I enjoy it.
Widdershins - A neat historical fantasy story with a really cool summon-based magic system and a really cool plot
Flaky Pastry - Another fantasy story, but largely focused on three roommates (a chaos-magic elf, a smart girl with animal ears, and a goblin who likes tinkering with stuff) and the messes they cause
Gunnerkrigg Court - A cool techno-fantasy story focused on a schoolgirl; the story has lots of nature vs technology elements in it
Hero Oh Hero - A fantasy story that follows three separate people, switching every chapter. One is a hero-guy who's strong enough to defeat pretty much any magic user (who are pretty strong). One is a kid with weird magic powers being trained under an authoritarian regime that hates magic. The third is a person who has really high dungeoncrawling skills but got lost away from her home town.
Think Before You Think - A modern-day story where a main character reads minds, dates a girl who is incredibly self-conscious, and so on.
Modest Medusa - A cute fantasy story with a snake-girl who ends up in the real world, causing all sorts of trouble for the people around her, especially when the fantasy-world she comes from tries to get her back.
Paranatural - A supernatural story following a teenager who moves into a new town and suddenly gains the ability to see ghosts, leading to him joining a club full of others like him who fight ghosts, when there's a big mystery going on in the background
Mystery Babalon - A story involving angels and demons, taking place in the distant future
Metacarpolis - There's this weird city that has really high levels of strangeness going on; the story starts off with the main character being fired from being a minion
Solstoria - A really cute fantasy story about a girl who has always wanted to be a knight
Sidekick Girl - A superhero comic in which both superheroes and villains work under big corporations specifically for that purpose
Darths and Droids - A screencap comic of Star Wars, with a story of a bunch of friends getting together to play a D&D-like game. It has really good twists if you've seen the Star Wars movies, and also has good character development.
Manly Guys Doing Manly Things - A story where all the buff manly guys in games and movies (and so on) are under the oversight of a manly time-traveling dude from the future, in order to help them reintegrate back into society. The story mostly follows the guy in charge and the random average woman he meets, but involves references to Pokemon, Duke Nukem, Zelda (by way of Ganondorf), and so on.
Blood Splattered Socks - A neat story that has time travel as the background plot device
Pilli Adventure - A fun fantasy-like story that takes place in Mexico, following a teenage girl
Cucumber Quest - It has really cute art and a really awesome story. Basically, a parody of the "Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door" game.
Kill Six Billion Demons - It has an amazing setting.
Rusty & Co.- Very D&D episodic story
Lapse - a supernatural drama/horror where, after falling down the stairs and falling unconscious, the main character can see and talk to the ghosts hanging around. These include an old-fashioned ghost, a ghost girl, a skull-monster that wants to hurt her, and a guy who died in an accident.

So...
Wow, that list took a lot longer to describe than I thought.

[Honest Tiefling]

Might I also recommend The Savage Beard of She-Dwarf for the DnD crowd? It's still quite new and silly, but I'm looking forward to where it is going.

I mean, I'm not doubting that a lot of people find it funny, and I do plan on trying to read it at some point. I just find it amusing that a comic called "Manly Guys Doing Manly Things" seems to mostly be recommended by women (in the limited sample size of people I've talked to about what comics they read).

<SNIP>

Now that's a lot of comics!

I just find it amusing that a comic called "Manly Guys Doing Manly Things" seems to mostly be recommended by women (in the limited sample size of people I've talked to about what comics they read).

Well considering the comic is about ridiculously muscled men acting like normal mature people I am not surprised that many women would enjoy it.

Though you should note that I am, in fact, not the first stated male to list it here.

This is not the full list, just the ones that I like enough to shill around to you all.

• Curvy, which is complete but now doing a hilarious recounting of the tales of the Narts
• Fey Winds ("The cast page describes a fun but basically generic fantasy comic. Every statement on the cast page is a lie.")
• K6BD, with the best or at least most bizarre art and setting
• Oglaf, which I hopefully don't need to sell to anyone who is not put off by the mere concept
• Shattered Starlight (by the author of Fey Winds)
• Skin Horse (by the author of Narbonic)
• Widdershins (I am still holding out hope for a Lovelace&Babbage crossover or cameo)
• XKCD, I hopefully don't need to explain this one

Ones that are finished but deserve another read:

• Broodhollow, I guess technically on indefinite hiatus but so damn good. The end of chapter 1 literally made me gasp.
• Casey and Andy (fun enough, very mixed and crude art but there's some genuine gems in it)
• Digger, lots of fun and some cool mythology
• DM of the Rings, like Darths & Droids but with a more consitent tone, and also and ending.
• Hark a Vagrant, likewise on quasi-eternal hiatus, with great Canadiana
• Narbonic, the best(?) webcomic ever. Like, not even being valley-girl overenthusiastic. I... think? it's quite possibly the best.

Oh, right, also Order of the Stick.
