Great!

Unsounded

http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/about

Plot: The daughter of a mobster is guided by a zombie-mage man through a dangerous land.

Okay, this one comes with a big, big VIOLENCE WARNING. But the art starts good and gets better as it progresses. The style is generally some sort of anime-influenced western comic, but it's always competent, and there are some really beautiful splash pages every now and then like this one:

Cucumber Quest

Plot: Rabbit children try to save the world in a magical land.

This one is like the virtual opposite of Unsounded. It's lighthearted, the violence is pretty much G-rated, and it's apparently a giant love letter to the Paper Mario series of videogames, despite standing on its own just fine.

Example:

It was hard to find one that wasn't a spoiler! The art gets prettier and prettier with each chapter, and the artist has a superb understanding of color theory.

(Can you imagine eye-burning neon colors used in an aesthetically-pleasing manner? I couldn't either until it happened!)

Gunnerkrigg Court

Plot: A polite young girl is transferred to a boarding school that gets more mysterious the more she explores it.

Don't let the art of the earlier chapters scare you: it gets better not too much later.

A warning, though: The comic is a bit on the slow-paced side. The author takes delight in raising plot questions and then answering them bit by bit like ten chapters later, all the while raising new questions.

The appeal of the comic lays more in the characters themselves, seeing them interact and develop through their relationships, and the atmosphere raised by the sometimes strange sci-fi-esque settings.

If you read through, say, chapter 12, and the story and characters haven't gripped you yet, chances are you won't be interested later on.

There are more I have only taken a peek at so I can't 100% hype them up, but some of these might interest you too:
