Web Comic recs?

[(Anonymous)]

Pretty much anything that isn't horror would be awesome.

Re: Web Comic recs?

[dethtoll]

I'd say Gunnerkrigg Court but that has some... horror-y elements? It's mostly an adventure comic though.

Re: Web Comic recs?

[(Anonymous)]

Ah, beat me to it!

I'd hardly call it horror, though. It's more like... schoolgirls at a mysterious school of magic and science, and weird things happen.

Re: Web Comic recs?

[inkdust]

I highly recommend it. And yeah, it has its darker moments, but it's not in the horror genre at all. Definitely give it a try.

Doctor Cat MD. Short stories about a cat, who is also a doctor. Cute and sweet.

Bouletcorp (English version) - Not so much a webcomic than a comic artist and writer doodling about dinosaurs, daily life, and science.
In this vein, you might like: Kate Beaton (Hark! A Vagrant!) and Gingerhaze (although her work is a bit different).

TEAHOUSE

Jeffbot, Hark! A Vagrant, Nimona, Girls with Slingshots, Oglaf, and 933 Dollars.

Cucumber Quest, Nimona, and Girl Genius! Those are probably my three favorite webcomics right now; they're all amazing. Cucumber Quest is, imo, one of the best-looking webcomics out there. It's adorable, and it's consistently funny, too. Nimona is great; it's about a punkish shapeshifter girl and the supervillain she works for, set in a somewhat high-tech yet medieval-styled world, which is an interesting asthetic. And Girl Genius is just an incredibly fun adventure in MAD SCIENCE!

One that I'll recommend with some reservations is DMFA (Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures). The caveats - 1) You have to be okay with furries, because all the characters are furry. 2) The first several chapters are kind of bad. But it gets much, much better, and by now it's a comic with some good art set in a really fascinating, very detailed world with some pretty cool characters.

Re: Web Comic recs?

Seconding Kate Beaton's stuff. It's got a lot of historical/classic literature references; not sure if you're into that or not.

If you like or are somewhat familiar with video games, there's Manly Guys Doing Manly Things. And then one of my personal favorites is Girl Next Door which is sort of crossover explosion, the main four being Labyrinth, Phantom of the Opera, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Les Miserables. It... makes sense in context.

And of course there's always *cough* Homestuck *cough*.

Thistil Mistil Kistil
http://tmkcomic.depleti.com/
A grumpy young viking named Coal can't go into Valhalla because Loki stole pieces of the gods' signature weapons. Coal unknowingly had the piece of Mjolnir (it was a gift from Loki) so he has to search for the remaining pieces. Fortunately, Loki is willing to help. Nearing the end of a hiatus, updates weekly.

Two Guys and Guy
http://www.twogag.com/

Unsounded

The tailed daughter of a crime boss is tasked by her father to travel across the continent to "check-up" on her cousin who hasn't been paying his dues to the boss. She has the help of an intelligent zombie wizard who "volunteered" to escort her. It's mostly a fantasy/adventure comic, but the artist does /not/ shy away form gore-y stuff, so, um, be aware of that if you decide to read it.

Also seconding Gunnerkrig Court, Oglaf, and Hark! A Vagrant. And Homestuck.

Spacetrawler!

It's about a group of humans who are abducted by aliens to join the fight to liberate an enslaved alien race, the Eebs, from the tyrannical Galactic Organizational Body. And it's really good, and nothing is really as it seems, and all the characters are AMAZING - seriously, I kind of love every single character in this comic - and it's funny and thrilling and thought-provoking and really, really good. Check it out.

Starts here: http://spacetrawler.com/2010/01/01/spacetrawler-4/

It's a fun, western type comic and it's also complete so you don't have to worry about it going dead. I thought the ending was a bit too abrupt but it had a happy ending so I'm not really complaining much.

http://handj.thewebcomic.com/

I like this one because I like detective stuff and the female lead is a couple of decades older than the male lead (who may be her love interest at some point? I'm not sure if they are going to just be fun BFFs or if they'll end up getting together. Either way is fine with me) which is a nice change from the other way around.

http://www.mangamagazine.net/manga-and-comics/Todd-Allison--the-Petunia-Violet/detail-page/23?lang=en

A mystery comic with a lot of great characters. The updates are usually far between, but she often updates with batches of 15 or more pages.

http://www.mangamagazine.net/manga-and-comics/THIS-IS-NOT-FICTION/detail-page/1477?lang=en

Very cute comic about a boy and his efforts to find his mysterious and favorite romance novelist.

Re: Web Comic recs?

[cakemage]

Girl Genius, Girls With Slingshots, Order of the Stick, xkcd, Awkward Zombie, Brawl in the Family, Hark! A Vagrant and Guilded Age.

If you're in the mood for a train wreck, check out the last few years of Sinfest and, of course, Teahouse.

Seconding Unsounded as absolutely lovely in story and art and worldbuilding (if you ever get an itch for details... check the massive Formspring archive). Also one of the best uses of "webcomic" as a medium that I've seen (i.e. playing with the idea that pages are "framed" on a webpage - but don't necessarily have to be). I found it through F!S and am eternally grateful.

Gunnerkrigg Court is also one that I check every update.

Others include:
Vattu (rice-boy.com) - Overside is a universe with all sorts of non-human races, and Evan Dahm does an awesome job of fleshing out the cultures and interactions. Especially getting interesting now as the separate character lines start to cross. If finished comics are more your thing, his previous Overside universe comics are epic, and completed! (I think Vattu is the best yet though.)

Namesake (namesakecomic.com) - If you like literary crossovers, you'll love this. Characters from different stories are "namesakes" in our modern-day world; they might have a few more powers than normal though, and our world is not the only one... Some really nice original characters and twists on canon characters from different tales. Stories touched on so far include Wizard of Oz (the main first arc) with characters from Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, etc.

Ava's Demon - Another comic that plays with the idea of a webcomic being a webcomic. Each "page" is a single panel that flow well into a sequence. The vivid colors are eyecatching and defining, and each chapter ends with a video. Space traveling age, but so far "magic" of the "demons" (who are fleshed out characters of their own) has played a bigger part.

And I just started today, but am really enjoying
Family Man (www.lutherlevy.com/) Takes place in 18th century Germany/France, following a scholar/lecturer of the time who may not quite agree with prevailing convention. Meticulously researched, and there are period notes written up if you're curious for more! Outfoxed and Bite Me! were two fun shorter comics by the same creator.

Girly

http://girlyyy.com/

Two girls find each other. Sometimes NSFW. Absurdist humor. Complete.

Narbonic

http://www.narbonic.com/

An IT guy working for a mad scientist. Humor. Complete.

Re: Web Comic recs?

[blunderbuss]

Man, everyone's pretty much already suggested my favorites.

However, I'd still recommend The Fox Sister, which is a gorgeously drawn story about evil kitsunes and a cross-cultural romance.

Sfeer Theory, by the same artist, which is a neat fantasy comic with revolutions and a very cool magic system.

Terinu, a really interesting sci-fi story that I myself need to catch up on (it went offline for AGES).

Re: Web Comic recs?

[omorka]

Arthur, King of Time and Space. Does assume you're already familiar with the basic Arthurian story, and the author's been having some difficulties lately so it's been mostly gag-a-day instead of arc storylines since he finished the Grail arc, but I still find it worth following.

I feel you, I lost my bookmarks too. D:

The ones I remember (besides the ones that have been mentioned already!) where:

http://www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus.html

Minus, about a little girl with strange powers. It's complete.

http://hemlock.smackjeeves.com/

Hemlock

I keep forgetting to actually read this one, but the art style is awesome.

http://paranatural.net/

Paranatural

Another one I keep forgetting to read; I've heard good things about this.

http://abominable.cc/

The Abominable Charles Christopher

It's a slow-paced but pretty story about a yeti-type creature finding his place in life. It has talking animals and it's at times adorable and at times heart-wrenching.

Also, check out this:

http://www.comicmix.com/category/mix-march-madness-webcomics-tournament/

The pages with Nominees have some really good stories linked. I discovered many I'd never heard of through there!

EDIT: Here's the list of tons of comics:

http://www.comicmix.com/mix-march-madness-webcomics-tournament/2013/03/04/announcing-mix-march-madness-2013-seeding-round/

Looking at it I had forgotten about What Birds Know, Nedroid Picture Diary and Flaky Pastry existed.

Also also:

http://webcomicoverlook.com/

http://topwebcomics.com/

It'll take you a while, but there are gems scattered all over those two websites.
