WITH PLEASURE
(Anonymous) 2012-06-11 01:01 am (UTC)(link)Has a gay character later on, but that's not the focus. Mad Science! is the focus.
Black and white, simple art, newspaper comic format.
2. Gunnerkrigg Court. Urban Fantasy / Mystery. Safe For Work. On-going.
http://gunnerkrigg.com/index2.php
Has never missed an update (the author has a buffer of several strips to avoid that).
Art starts meh, but gets gorgeous later on. Good writing. Slow-going mysteries, with some adventure and humor. Main characters are schoolgirls. There is some ambiguous homosexuality between some characters later on, but it's probably okay that it remains ambiguous for the moment, considering how young they are (13-14 years old).
Full color pages.
Try to make it to the mid 10s chapters. If you still don't like it by then, it's not for you.
3. Order of the Stick. Dungeons & Dragons parody. Comedy and adventure. Safe for Work. On-going. Develops better, complex storylines later on.
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0001.html
Full color. Stick figures art, but with surprisingly well done effects later on.
4. Girly. Humor through and through. Some action and lighthearted romance. Main pairing is two women. Occasionally Not Safe For Work. Complete.
http://girlyyy.com/go/1
Mostly black and white. Starts with simple, animesque (parody?) art, evolves into a Western Cartoon kind of style later on. The art improves over time. Best enjoyed if not taken seriously.
5. Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. Humor (sometimes dark humor). Safe For Work. On-going.
http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php
Color. Usually fairly short pages, with stand-alone jokes.
6. Flaky Pastry. Urban Fantasy. Humor. Lighthearted. A little adventure and romance. Mostly Safe For Work (heavy kissing, occasionally skimpiness in clothing, very rare). On-going.
http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/comic.php?strip_id=0
Full color. Fairly gay-friendly. Not to be taken very seriously.
7. Demonology. Urban Fantasy. Slightly more serious. Safe For Work? Complete?
http://faith.rydia.net/
I only read the first "chapter", and forgot to continue. It's very plot-heavy, which is why I haven't picked it up yet again. The pages I read were in black and white, but fairly good. It was interesting.
8. Minus. Surreal Fantasy? Kind of odd, but mostly lighthearted (with some borderline horror). Safe For Work. Complete.
http://www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus1.html
Cute artwork. Mostly stand alone pages, but there are some stories that continue in 2-5ish pages. It's adorable when it's not being weird or scary.
9. 8-bit Theather. Fantasy. Parody / Humor. Dark humor, mostly. Safe For Work. On-going?
http://www.nuklearpower.com/2001/03/02/episode-001-were-going-where/
THIS COMIC, MERCY. I've never been able to catch-up. It's very long.
It has sprite art from the Final Fantasy videogame, but it's used very cleverly as the story advances.
10. Looking For Group. Fantasy. Humor, but sometimes serious. Adventure. Safe For Work, with some exceptions for violence. On-going.
http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/1
I fell behind, but I remember liking it very much. It's based on World of Warcraft, I think, but you don't need to know about the game to understand it.
Full color pages. On-going story. Fairly good artwork.
11. Unsounded. Fantasy. On-going. Safe For Work? Mystery?
http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch01/ch01_01.html
Gorgeous, gorgeous full-color artwork. I'm only in the first chapter, but definitely check it out.
12. Penny Arcade. Humor (dark humor, too, watch out for that). Parody. Videogames focused, mostly. On-going. Safe For Work.
http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2012/06/08
The artwork starts eh, but gets better. It's a joke-a-day comic, with a few exceptions.
The commentary in the "news" is sometimes so intellectual / technology oriented that it often goes over my head.
13. MS Paint Adventures. (Four stories: two complete, one abandoned, one on-going and near the end) Sometimes not very Safe For Work. Humor. Adventure.
http://mspaintadventures.com/
This one is an oddball. If you have lots of free time, check out Problem Sleuth or Jail break (both complete) and leave Homestuck for last.
It has very... self-satisfied humor, at times. The artwork is mostly simple, with rare color.
14. Go Get A Roomie. NSFW. Romance? On-going.
http://gogetaroomie.chloe-art.com/
This one I only followed for a while until I caught up, and then never checked back. It is sort of gay friendly? But I don't suggest you take it very seriously. Some parts made me go... uh, okay.
15. The Non-Adventures of Wonderella. SFW. Humor, Parody, Kind of cynical. On-going.
http://nonadventures.com/
The parodies of a super-heroine with questionable morals. Full-color pages. Mostly joke-a-page, but has recurring characters, so better check it out from the beginning.
16. Sandra and Woo. SFW. Humor. lighthearted. On-going
http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2008/10/19/a-sly-raccoon/
The life of a girl and her pet talking-raccoon. Good for some adorable or funny moments.
17. The Adventures of Dr. McNinja. SFW, except for some violent moments. Humor. Action. As over the top as over the top can get. On-going.
http://drmcninja.com/
It... has to be read to be believed. Starts black and white but becomes colored later on. Top-notch artwork.
18. True Magic. SFW. Fantasy. Some humor. On-going.
http://www.true-magic.com/view.php?id=1
It's a nice adventure/fantasy story in a world where a god's powers were abused by his followers and their descendants, and a group of commoners are now trying to even the playing field. It's fairly light-hearted.
19. The Meek. Adventure, Fantasy. On-going. NSFW by virtue of having a nudist main character. It is oddly done tastefully.
http://www.meekcomic.com/2009/01/01/chapter-1-page-1/
I haven't kept up, but man, is that artwork gorgeous and that world interesting! Do check it out. Full color pages.
20. String Theory. Science Fiction? Fantasy? On-going. SFW.
http://www.stringtheorycomic.com/
I didn't keep up with it, but it was interesting. It had the tagline "The rise and fall of a villain superstar".
Starts black and white, but moves to full color fairly soon.
21. What Birds Know. Fantasy. Mystery. Suspense. Safe For Work, except for one mild nudity scene. On-going, but almost finished.
http://fribergthorelli.com/wbk/
This one is a hesitant recommendation, not because it isn't good, but because the pacing is slooooow. If you don't have patience, don't even bother.
Full color pages. Fairly solid artwork.
22. The Abominable Charles Christopher. Kind of Fantasy? Adventure. SFW. On-going.
http://www.abominable.cc/2007/06/20/episode-1/
This one is a little odd, but enchanting. It has talking animals and a kind-hearted yeti as a protagonist.
Monochrome, but beautiful artwork.
23. Angel Moxie. SFW. Humor. Parody. Complete.
http://www.venisproductions.com/angelmoxie/index.php
A parody of magical girls anime. Fairly light-hearted and simple, and yet done with affection.
24. Hemlock. ????
http://hemlock.smackjeeves.com/comics/893745/0-00/
I keep meaning to check this one out and forgetting. It's haunting but gorgeous.
25. Sister Claire. Humor?
http://www.sisterclaire.com/comic/coming-soon/
Another one that I keep forgetting to check out. It looks fun.
26. Two Guys and Guy. Humor. Kind of cynical. On-going. SFW?
http://www.twogag.com/
It's mostly dark-ish humor, and yet it's funny.
27. Monster Pulse. Urban Fantasy. SFW. On-going.
http://www.monster-pulse.com/
It's fairly new, but fairly good. It's a slow going thing, but it's nice. Once you finish the first chapter, you ought to know whether it's for you or not.
Black and white.
and oh so many more. ;___; why are there so many comics in the internet how will I read them all oh oh oh
Re: WITH PLEASURE
(Anonymous) 2012-06-11 04:46 am (UTC)(link)I poked around a few of them at random, and there's some interesting stuff in there. I have no idea how I'm going to read them all, but I shall certainly try!
I've started on Gunnerkrigg Court, which I'm really liking it so far--it's so quirky! <3
Thanks for taking the time to put up such a long list with all those descriptions. I'll get through them all... eventually! ^^;
Re: WITH PLEASURE
(Anonymous) 2012-06-11 05:33 am (UTC)(link)I made the list by going through my bookmarks and listing what I remember reading or finding curious.
I am so behind on my reading list, you have no idea. D:
Oh, and you're very welcome! ^^
You could maybe read one long, plot heavy comic and two or three gag-a-day comics at once (and by "at once", I mean as a batch, not as in, all in one go D:), so you don't feel overwhelmed, and only move on to the next plot heavy comic once you catch up or finish the archives of the first one. It's probably the least overwhelming way to pace yourself.
