TM2 Dinobot Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Well, like most people, I assume, I read a significant portion of webcomics. They don't take long to plow through so I read a lot Sometimes I like to discuss them, but I don't feel like signing up for 30 some-odd forums. Some of my favorites are: http://www.megatokyo.com/ http://alienlovespredator.com/ http://www.flipsidecomics.com/ http://headtripcomics.comicgenesis.com/index.html http://www.shadowgirlscomic.com/ http://www.webcomicsnation.com/acey/ http://www.misfile.com/ http://www.darthsanddroids.net/ http://xkcd.com/ http://www.eeriecuties.com/ And I will say that today's XKCD has that stupid song stuck in my head now. Also today's Eerie Cuties was awesome. So what do you read? Care to discuss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Well, like most people, I assume, I read a significant portion of webcomics. Like most people you assume things? I don't read any, but I'll check out your list when I have some spare time (whenever that might be...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Well, if we're sharing.... This is the web comic of a very good friend of mine: http://www.ulyssesseen.com/ It's a bit scholarly, so it might not be everybody's cup of tea. Also available as a free app for the Ipad.

Bob Harris Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 QC is good, indeed! I really LOVE Dr. McNinja: http://drmcninja.com/ And I enjoy Order Of Sticks: http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0767.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessex Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Dr McNinja is always good fun. I've just come across a bit of a gem called AxeCop. It's a guy in his 20's who draws what his 5 year old brother tells him to and makes it into a web-comic. The tag-line is 'written by a 5 year old, drawn by his 29yo brother'. I've just bought the first collected edition from my LCS. It's pretty funny. http://axecop.com/ The other one i read a bit recently is something a friend introduced me to last month called 'Hipster Hitler'. Now - i'm going to warn in advance (in the light of our Captain America thread) that this may be a bit offensive to some people. Most of the jokes are at the expense of 'hipster' culture & make fun of Hitler for being a general loser, but i don't wanna get in trouble for recommending something that might ruffle some feathers - so, consider the warning issued: http://hipsterhitler.com/archive/18-dispatch/ again - apologies if anyone finds this insensitive.

battlecat Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Axe Cop - guy illustrating comics he gets his 5 year old brother to write, surprisingly awesome! Dinosaur Comics - dinosaurs talking about stuff... Our Valued Customers - guy repeating things he hears people say in the comic shop where he works... Whubble - from the guy who wrote the comic book Bear a few years back, about a cat with an office job... edit: Nessie beat me to it!

Nessex Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Our Valued Customers - guy repeating things he hears people say in the comic shop where he works... Bah ah ha ha ha ha. I'm in my bookshop now and i just burst out laughing and scared off a customer. That blog is pure gold. Thanks for the recommendation, BattleCat.

NorthRaider Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Wow, I think most of my webcomic reading list is already on here. Even Head Trip got a mention, just too bad it doesn't get updated that often. In addition to everything else mentioned so far, I also used to follow Irregular Webcomic (still need to catch up though), and of course DM of the Rings (site seems to be down right now). I'm also a huge fan of Hark! A Vagrant. I'd been meaning to properly try Gunnerkrigg Court and A Softer World for the longest time,I think I'm also one of the few people crazy enough to actually enjoy reading Powerpuff Girls D. (The man behind this really knows his Cartoon Network/Nickelodeon cartoons, and I mean that as a compliment.) Last but not least, Romantically Apocalyptic is officially the COOLEST THING EVER. Seriously, I want you people to read it now (and no, I do not know the artist) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsMarvel fan Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I will be checking some of those out. The only one I've put effort into reading (and admittedly have forgotten to in months) is http://www.menagea3.net. it is amusing. Wow, I think most of my webcomic reading list is already on here.

Dio Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) http://nedroid.com/ Also make sure you read the Party Cat comics http://oglaf.com/ Sometimes NSFW http://mspaintadventures.com/ The first act is kinda boring, but it's really worth it once you get through it. It has amazing music and flash movies, and some are interactive. We're on act 5 act 2 right now. http://www.mspaintadventures.com/sweetbroandhellajeff/ Ironic comics. http://gunshowcomic.com/ http://www.pbfcomics.com/ xkcd, Our Valued Customers and Dinosaur Comics are good too, but they've already been linked.

TM2 Dinobot Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) I hate Davis Willis with a passion. Not the apathetic kind of hate, where I don't do anything, but the kind of hate where if he pushes me ONE MORE TIME I'm gona burn his house down. YOU HEAR ME WILLIS?!?! Plus he's not funny.

It wasn't important enough to remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 For my money it's Tales from the White Pony: http://meleecomics.com/whitepony/ Very well done comic that comes out roughly twice a week. The guys behind the strip are great as well, I've gotten to know them both and even have some original art. Great comic, highly recommend everyone who are into web comics check them out.

NorthRaider Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I am currently loving Slow Wave, which is basically a guy drawing comics of other people's (really weird) dreams. The perfect political metaphor! Long story short... Oregon Trail. 'nuff said. I also really need to catch up on Surviving The World. I like how its humor is along similar lines as xkcd's.
