Web Comics

[Rydia]

Do you read any webcomics?

Currently, I follow 2.

Red String by Gina Biggs.

It's about a girl in Japan who is in an arranged marriage. Sure it sounds like a typical shojo manga, but this one has many twists and turns and the original couple may not ultimately end up together. The comics explores many different forms of love, romantic love, family love, friendship, parental love, unrequitted love, lost love, homosexual love, ect... The author updated Mon-Thurs.

Looking For Group from Blind Ferret Entertainment. Based off of WOW specifically the horde races, but it doesn't take place in that world. It's a pretty funny comic that parodies many different movies, books, games, ect... Richard is the best being an undead warlock who takes pleasure in killing things and being evil.

I always read Xkcd, as it's fantastic.

Others I read are Megatokyo, El Goonish Shive (both good but move at the speed of treacle) and Penny Arcade (frequently offensive and usually hilarious).

I love webcomics. Some of my favorites that I do my best to follow:

Dresden Codak by Aaron Diaz
Usually follows the random adventures of Kimiko Ross, an intelligent, socially-awkward, transhuman, science girl. The art and layout design of each comic is really remarkable, and the writing is pretty witty and hilarious (especially if you're familiar with psychology, philosophy, and science in general). (The picture I made my avatar out of is from a Dresden Codak comic.)

Hark! A Vagrant by Kate Beaton
Silly comics that--more often than not--deal with historic events in some way, shape, or form. Again, it helps to be familiar with the material, but even if you're not (I'm not big on history), her writing style and illustrations are just great.

Gunshow by K.C. Green
Comics about random and often crude and/or offensive things. He's got a sense of humor that I can get into, and he really sells it with his silly drawings and writing.

Nedroid by Anthony Clark
Follows the daily antics of Beartato, the potato-shaped bear, and Reginald, his best friend who is also a bird. Although the illustrations seem incredibly simple, they're very clean and crisp, and the characters often find themselves caught in some sort of entertaining exchange of dialogue that makes me giggle.

Penny Arcade by Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik
I doubt I need to write anything here, considering how insanely popular the comic is. But if you haven't seen it, you should check it out. You'll probably read something there that you'll like.

Honorable mentions:
Dinosaur Comics by Ryan North
Very entertaining and creative comic. Every comic is the exact same picture of six frames of dinosaurs, and the only thing that changes is the text. Humorous, intelligent, and very silly writing. Used to update every day, but I think it has slowed down lately.

8-Bit Theater by Brian Clevinger
I used to read this a lot back in the day. A sprite comic that takes the first Final Fantasy game and makes it pretty hilarious. I guess the whole thing wrapped up at the beginning of the month, so I should really go back and read through it.

Garfield Minus Garfield by Dan Walsh
Take a strip of Garfield, edit Garfield out, and you've got GMG--a comic about a lonely, delusional, depressed, and schizophrenic man. With the simple removal of the cat, Jon becomes a completely new character, who is entertaining in a sort of twisted way.

MegaTokyo by Fred Gallagher
I used to read this a lot. But the fact (read: my opinion) remains: It just hasn't been the same without Rodney Caston writing.

Bob and George by David Anez
A Megaman-based sprite comic that used to update every day. Very long story that went through a lot of the original Megaman games. Pretty funny stuff, but it wrapped up a couple of years ago. This is another one I'll have to go back and read through.

Rice Boy by Evan Dahm
A pretty epic story of a simple boy who is destined to save the world from destruction, and the quest he begrudgingly embarks upon to unknowingly fulfill it.

minus. by Ryan Armand
A pretty cool comic that follows a quiet girl with mysterious powers and an enormous imagination. I think this one ended a while ago, too.

Dr. McNinja written and drawn by Christopher Hastings
The adventures of a highly-skilled ninja who is also a medical doctor. How could it possibly be bad?

White Ninja by Scott Bevan and Kent Earl
Very simple, stupid little comics about an absent-minded ninja clad in white and the shenanigans he gets into. Pretty entertaining stuff.

A Softer World by Emily Horne and Joey Comeau
A pretty creative comic. It's just text written over pictures that the authors take, but the writing is usually entertaining, witty, dark, thoughtful, or somewhere in between some of those.

Man... I listed a lot more than I originally intended on listing. Oh well.

I too follow Red String

The Littlest Elle: A Journal comic about the author's daily life

Devil's Cake: Kea has trouble with boys but when she finds it's who and not a what. Will survive the insanity that ensues.

Xkcd of course, white ninja, penny arcade, and then I normally let a good few pages of looking for group pile up. I'm beginning to look for more to read though so I'll probably look up some of the previously mentioned ones.

I don't usually read webcomics, but there was one I used to read a long time ago, however, it's not really 'age appropriate' (there is no porn in it or anything-or at least as far as I read) and I think it updates every tuesday, but anywho, it's called Tinkers of the Wasteland, about a post-apocalyptic world where chickens are the single most important thing and they hold some great secret-it is strange to say the least.

 

[Pecorino]

Currently I'm following:

Death Brigade by demitasse-lover: basically, it's the story of the lives of 3 people who do various jobs (assassinations, search-and-destroy, retrieval, bludgeoning, manipulation, interrogation, etc) for money. It's hilarious. Lol.

Hanna Is Not A Boy's Name by Tessa Stone: It's about a hyperactive redhead trying to be a paranormal detective but kinda fails at it. He has a zombie for a partner (the zombie's way better at the paranormal detective thing). Together they solve cases and meet other supernatural beings. (it's actually a little hard to describe, read it for a better idea since my description's pretty crumby.)
