Webcomics

Star Warriors is pretty fun so far, despite the occasional typos. I like the concept for the powers system.

I've been reading Barbarous, a webcomic from the makers of Lucky Penny.

It's another one of those worlds where magic coexists with normal society but what I like about this is our main protag, Chiaki (calls herself Percy), is a wizard school dropout who luckily winds up coworking as a building super with a giant Familiar named Leeds.

You see Percy use thread-based magic and it's always blowing up in her face.

Spoiler: A BAD JOB

Leeds, being a Familiar, is supposed to be some kind of magical robot made to obey, but he's more emotional than that.

Spoiler: COMPELLING

We see Percy's memories of school and some of the interesting people at the building. Lots of questions to answer, but just when they hint at an answer, more questions pile on and I love that in a story. (Good visuals keep the interest peaked as well.)

Spoiler: QUALITY ART SPREAD

The Fox Sister is my favorite. Too bad it’s been 5 years since it updated. Life gets the best of us

I just found out that tiger girl form twokinds is... eleven years old.

 

[vertexwindi]

Twokinds is still going? Wow.

 

[Bone Juice]

Twokinds is still going? Wow.

Yeah, the ride never ends.

 

[vertexwindi]

Yeah, the ride never ends.

Man, I remember seeing it ages ago back when it was still novel to have a comic on the internet. Respect to that guy to keep his weird furry fantasy mashup thing going for so long I suppose.

It honestly could had been way better imo, the amnesia shit always bothers me when it's used in stories.

Growing up as a poor kid right around the time Webcomics started picking up, I became hugely invested in a lot of them, several ready many times over, as a free source of content.

A couple I haven't seen mentioned in a glossing over if the thread:

Sluggy Freelance: kinda surprising to me, but I might of overlooked something. To me it's the grandfather of Webcomics, especially narrative driven ones. Jumped the Shark before most Webcomics got started, I don't want to go back and re-read the early years I considered good cause I'm worried I'll taint my childhood memories.

Flem Comics: another pre-2000 webcomic(iirc), much more adult and edgey comic, it probably had aged horribly, the art is unimpressive, but there are still some jokes from it I appreciate to this day.

Penny Arcade: another one I wouldn't be surprised if I just missed being brought up, yeah they're cucks now, but they legit were good.

Others I saw mentioned but I was definitely in to:

Questionable Content - though I lost interest long before it went absurd

Bob and George - I know it's probably embarrassingly bad for how much I enjoyed it, but still will give the man bad props for his sprite work.

8-bit Theater - fond memories, absolutely recommend his professional work in Atomic Robo, Dr Dinosaur is one of the funniest good damned things ever.

And lastly and absolutely most importantly, Schlock Mercenary. I don't follow Webcomics anymore. I lost interest in the format... I'd guess around 2007? Schlock Mercenary is the exception, the only one I've stuck with over the years. I don't follow it day to day, as I learned I get lost from the narrative that way. Stories I disliked reading daily, I enjoyed in a lump on a reread. So every few years I come back and catch up, I'm probably 3 or 4 years behind at this point but I have been feeling an itch to catch up again and this thread probably instigated it. I absolutely love the galaxy he's built, I enjoy when SciFi is written with a sense of scale, which Schlock Mercenary does very well.

 

[JustWhy]

Seems like almost dead thread, but just in case someone get here, I dump some random, mostly fantasy/sci-fi positions I remember, maybe I'll add more if I find where I saved/written links, I've lost a lot of shit by drive failure.

- Reptangle - The Veligent and Rueday

- Android Blues

- NofNA - Solar System arc

- Gifts of Wandering Ice [EN], (RU)

- Not Even Bones

- Everfallen: the Beginning of the World (prologue), Everfallen

- Black Tapestries (on hiatus), ongoing spinoff - The Realm of Kaerwyn

- Order of the Black Dog

- Just Pancakes

- Zoul's Law

 

[The Bovinian Derivative]

The only one i follow is Extra Fabulous Comics. Granted his facebook page is more up to date than the site, but still. Here's a sample from the high art that it is:

 

[Coelacanth]

Wow tons of threads I'm interested in are being brought back from the dead this week.

I used to really like reading webcomics (particularly Nuzlocke comics) but I've kinda gone off them now that the medium is filled with SJW cuck stuff that isn't funny or enjoyable to read. Sprite comics have always been a guilty pleasure too - particularly NC Comix. Yeah, it was bad, but without NC Comix I wouldn't have gotten into wanting to draw a webcomic of my own one day.

 

[Hummingbird]

One that is pretty much dead, but is good is Bunny Meat. It collects bizarre moments in people's lives and turns them into comics with bunnies in it.

 

[Bonesjones]

The only webcomic that mattered was achewood.

 

[Slurms McCorgi]

Ah yes, time to advertise my favorite webcomic.

In a world where your local municipal super sentai team and their combining mecha are your first line of defense, what happens when the guy driving your leg calls in sick? You call Tad Danger the substitute ranger!

The art’s admittedly rough early on, but it’s quickly catching up to the writing quality. Compare these pages from the first and latest chapters:




Also, here‘s my favorite page.

 

[Apotheosis of the Liver]

Will Save World For Gold is a 4th edition D&D comic, that I quite like. A page comes up Monday to Friday like clockwork, and is supposed to be ending soon. That said I would block element his embedded twitter account. It used to be he would tweet a joke about the days comic, and he probably still does. Ever since the summer of love, he's changed his twitter name to AbolishThePolice, and retweets a lot of crap. I haven't noticed any changes in the comic itself, so I don't really care.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

I haven't read any webcomics in a while, and never followed them very closely. Relatively recently I've been going through a couple; Stonetoss and Because I'm Depressed.

The former is pretty based but there's less effort put into it, while the latter is woke but actually has a world to follow. I can't find any good conservative comics to follow that aren't basically just memes.

 

[Cheese-Loving Citizen]

A webcomic I check from time to time is Devil's Candy. Well, it's more of a "webmanga" than a comic, but eh, semantics. It's about a group of demon friends doing demon things in demon world, sprinkled with the tone and humor you'd typically see in actual mangas. It's pretty good, although it seems to go on hiatus a lot, typically after a chapter is finished. But they make it up with some shorts in the meantime.

 

[Mr. Cool ICE]

Reviving to say I adore 8-Bit Theater, despite discovering it around 2014, and seeing Clevinger have Blue Check Brainrot pains me, especially since the webcomic had some pretty damn hilarious offensive humor.

 

[Orange Tabby]

Had a random thought today about Anders Loves Maria, one of those sad relationship/adult webcomics from the early 2000s and it made me super nostalgic.
Can’t find the archive anywhere, the artist is gone I guess, and the Comic Chameleon app that had a bunch of those same era comics is dead.
I honestly don’t remember if it was a good comic, but I still had the same excitement for updates, like checking Questionable Content before it swerved off into shit.
