Are you sometimes looking for something new to read but don't know where to start? Do you have a webcomic you love but not enough fandom to enjoy it with? Come here and recommend your favourites! I'll start with a few. Oversync Oversync is still short and young, but its shaping up nicely. It's got a great silly sense of humour, but you can tell the author has notes he wants to hit and serious themes to touch on as he gathers steam. I actually am so biased for this comic since my morail DD is the author/artist, that I have a whole post with reasons to read Oversync. Please read it, I need a fandom to flail with. Sister Claire I must admit, that I was very skeptical of Sister Claire when it started. It seemed... too silly. But then it got serious, real serious, and it has me on the edge of my seat! It touches on the best and worst of humanity while people build a life in a world beset by magical creatures, and the journey of a girl through an unexpected responsibility that is thrust upon her. I was not prepared for the twists! Monster Pulse This comic follows a few kids as they are thrust in the middle of an invasive procedure that completely changes their life, and their bodies, and their struggle to live without the meddling of a shady agency. I love it! It's got an interesting cast of characters that slowly become a team, and manages teen drama without being, well, annoying about it, but respecting the teens going through it. Girl Genius Do you like smart women, steampunk, and mad scientists? Well you are in for a treat. This story follows the adventures of Agatha as she flexes her smarts, and deals with everything from monsters, madcap inventions, political intrigue, and her own family history. The artwork puts some people off, but grows on you, and there is ROMANCE with hilarious all caps.
Nawlz Gorgeous cyberpunk fever dream that apparently only I know about. Interactive and features sound, cannot be viewed on mobile. May be dead or stalled out, but you can enjoy what's there. Good and weird.
Superpose In the words of the authors "An 80s-flavoured hero’s cycle consisting of seaside teens, dog thievery, high scores at the arcade, and vaporwave sci-fi horror" Still very new, Superpose is the ongoing part 1 of a two-part series "Superpose/Going Underground". It's got a lovely atmosphere, spectacular art, a strong foundation in character relationships, with promises of high action and superpowers to come! Definitely the comic for you if you love that 80s and Vaporwave aesthetic, comics about good kids in tough situations, or comics by, for, and about queer people.
Sakana ! (Ongoing) It's a cute n fun slice of life Rom Com and it involves fishmarket workers! (Set in Japan). The main characters is Jiro Sakana, a good ol' nervous fish sellin boy who is kind and compassionate, his brother Taro Sakana who does all the fish choppin and who used to be in a gang in his youth, Yuudai Tanaka and angry eel who is manager of the stall the Sakana boys work at and is kind of a terror (but I love him), and more! Spoiler: CW's (spoilers) Yuudai's ex appears later in the comic and he gaslights Yuudai and mocks him and yeah it's emotional abuse. Drop Out (finished) Spoiler: TW's and CW's So it's also on the website, but Drop Out is all about 2 kids with mental illness and all about suicide. There's also Drug use within the comic. Beautiful comic, with beautiful colors. The way the emotions are rendered in the art feels striking. The characters are all Anthros. Comic's main characters are Sugar, a sugar glider and tarsier mix, and Lola, a snailfur. ((Lotsa edits))
GOBLINS Goblins Goblins Goblins! An exploration of the meaning of good and evil, mingled with amazing badassery and ridiculously funny parody. If you like really, really dark humour, try Something Positive. It, well, opens with abortion jokes and gets worse from there, but genuinely heartwarming moments are common too, and I love the witty voice.
@GlassesBlu Oh my gosh, a furry work with some furry-type worldbuilding so the characters don't just seem like recoloured humans! I never see that and I love it!
Paranatural. A kid moves to a new town and discovers he can see ghosts. Cue shenanigans. Intensely hilarious, practically every page contains at least one expression suitable for use as a reaction image, and you will probably cry about a paper spider. (You may recognize the artist, Zack Morrison, from several Paradox Space stories and one of the prints in the Homestuck store.)
No End. I just binged it all over two days-- it's a very pretty post-apoc story, following a crew of people trying to navigate their way to safety under a brutal military regime. Pretty notable for having a cast of queer characters, some really cute on screen relationship moments, and a really nice take on the whole zombie virus thing. I'm a big fan of the "nuclear winter" aspect, because dropping bombs on the zombies isn't exactly a thing I've seen addressed often. And hey, on that note: Stand Still Stay Silent. It's another post-apoc story, but this one is focused on a group of explorers heading into the Old World to find things from before the plague that killed everyone. It's got a lot of magic and mysticism in it, and is fucking gorgeous to boot. (It also updates M-F, once a day.) The intro alone got me hooked, because we get to see the growth of the plague before fastforwarding to the now. The author also published A Redtail's Dream which is a massive epic that touches on a lot of Finnish myths. edit: Serious gore warnings for both, though, as per Zombie Apocalypse Standards.
Out-Of-Placers: Amusing, but I admit I mostly like it for the xenobiology. Yinglets are pwecious ickle scruffbabies and I wuv dem all.
http://www.wildelifecomic.com/: Oscar Wilde (no not that one) is an average dude who moved from Chicago to Oklahoma on a tragic family backstory related whim (the exact family situation he's fleeing is not clear yet). It builds on Oklahoma legends and folklore. The art is excellent, the facial expressions are great, and the backgrounds are beautiful. The writer/artist has a colorist go over the flats and holy heck the colors are rich and vivid but not shallow or cartoony.
Thank you! I write and draw Gecko Jehovah, which is about a man who develops feelings for the scientist he enlists to help him find his missing father. The story takes place in a strange town controlled by a single, massive corporate dynasty, in the year 1999. I'm not the best at summaries but rest assured, it's more interesting than it sounds. I would, incidentally, be willing to pay real human dollars to anyone who can help me get an elevator pitch together.
Dinosaur Comics is an incredibly silly gag-a-day comic about clipart dinosaurs and I cannot recommend it highly enough. (Homestucks might recognize Ryan North as Hussie's BFF.)
