Webcomics discussion

Recommended Posts

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 :P 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. :P

So what do you read? Care to discuss?

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.

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:

again - apologies if anyone finds this insensitive.

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!

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) :D

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.

I just clicked the Romantically Apocalyptic link and I'm already loving the art without reading it yet. thanks!

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.

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.

Edit: Wow I need to lay off the Invader Zim...

But wait... He's a Transformers guy, you're a Transformers guy, shouldn't you be good friends? Isn't everyone convivial in the Transformers fandom?

Nah, that blind hate thing sounds about right. Willis is even in a rivalry with one of his own characters, for crying out loud :lol:

I don't remember the whole story, but apparently he became an important person's toady at a con to get a Transformer toy made, which a lot of people hate or something. It wasn't important enough to remember.

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.
