This is a topic for people to share and talk about the web comics they are reading. I used to have many dozens i would read regularly, but most have gone offline or on hiatus over time. So I am looking for new stuff to read. If the comic contains any questionable content, make a note of it, I'd rather not be surprised.

The comic that i currently have been reading for the longest time is Schlock Mercenery

It is a sci-fi mercenary comic by Howard Taylor updated daily with a large format comic on Sundays. It set several thousand years in the future after the invention of the terraport drive, a revolutionary technology that allows instantaneous interstellar transport without reliance on ancient gate technology.

The newest comic I am reading is Spinnerette

It is a comedic parody of the superhero genre in general and spiderman in particular by KrazyKrow updated on Mondays. It follows a woman infused with spider dna in a lab accident, she gained spider powers and hijinks ensue. It is hilarious. Note: mildly not safe for work, the artist likes his spandex/skimpy costumes on well endowed women.

Homestuck - obvious route

RomanticallyApocalyptic

[Xantalos]

Goblins

Order of the Stick (when it comes back)

[Scelly9]

Goblins

Weregeek

[Aptus]

The ones I am following at the moment is.

xkcd
You already know about this one.

Order of the Stick
The D&D adventure, Belkar 2012!

Oglaf
NSFW

Dark Legacy Comics
Started reading during my WoW days and even though I don't play anymore I still check it out. Basically the comic is about a dysfunctional guild.

Questionable Content (only about halfway through the archives on this one so far.)
Some good ol' sappy romance mixed with some biting humor.

[Xantalos]

Oh yeah, forgot Oglaf.
APPRENTICE! WHY YOU NO WAKE UP?!

Hooo boy, Webcomics thread.

I don't really read too many webcomics now because I form sorta bad habits around them and general apathy for all, but I can provide links to comics I know are good but can't be bothered to read.

Rice Boy
Name of his completed comic series, the guy is currently working on a new story called Vattu. Both wonderful comics are artsy as hell. Very surreal with usually very few words. They are stories told in weird ways I sorta dig in weird settings. If you like worldbuilding this will be fantastic.

Unsounded
Much more conventional of a comic, but it goes along the same concept. Unique magical world with a lot of worldbuilding and lots of info on how stuff works like magic. The artist has a knack for keeping panels pretty dynamic.

Whomp
Comic about an overweight shut-in going about his daily life. Gag a day comic, I adore the pacing and execution of the jokes. Expressions are always on the dot.

[IronyOwl]

Miiiiiight want to mention Oglaf as heavily un-worksafe. Still hilarious, though the recent ones have been pretty bleh.

Watching for Oots when it comes back.

Keep meaning to get back into Erfworld, but I'd have to dig through all those between-book updates and such, so it keeps getting put off.

Reading through Cucumber Quest off and on. It's a hilarious comic in danger of being a parody of fantasy tropes, but manages to pull off just being a world full of complete jackasses well enough to not annoy me, as parodies are wont to do (HAHA GET IT SEE REMEMBER WHEN THIS HAPPENS?!).

Have been falling behind on Girl Genius (steampunk mad scientists) and Aikonia (wizards gone wrong prequel thing to some game somebody's making) for reasons I'm not entirely certain of, though the break was probably a factor in Aikonia. Don't think I've checked in on Awkward Zombie (video game humor, quite good) in a bit, likely because it's mentally linked with Aikonia (had the same artist until recently). Also haven't checked in on Manly Guys Doing Manly Things in a bit (follows the adventures of an agency devoted to helping manly video game characters readjust to society, ie an excuse to draw Kratos and the Heavy playing poker together; also contains some video game humor as a result).


As for stuff I'm actually current on:

Penny Arcade (video game humor and random things, often somewhat crass)
Prequel (MSPA-style suggestion adventure, the best thing ever; a Khajiit failure of a slut tries to turn her life around with... mixed success)
Hunter Black (described as "fantasy noir," which is fairly fitting I think; whole thing is in black and white for stylistic reasons)
Goblins (a group of goblins decide to become adventurers, also follows some other characters)
2 Guys and Guy (gag comic with no particular theme, characters are mad scientist, loser, raging bitch)
Oglaf (as mentioned, frequently blatantly pornographic, but not always and usually surprisingly clever and intelligent despite that)

And I think that's it but I'm probably missing something.

[Xantalos]

Yeah, Oglaf actually labels the comics that ARE SFW, so that's saying something.

There hasn't been anything going on since the Fun incident, but I think Mystertique may have a story arc developing.

And that fox...

There's the old webcomic thread from a couple years back, though it is a bit out of date now: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=57574.0
The list in the OP has quite the collection of good webcomics. Just don't necro it, as it was created by the puppetmaster and thus is best left dead.

[varnish]

Bad Machinery - Mystery solving kids

Cat and Girl - A cat and a girl.

Nedroid.

I've kind of lost track of the whole webcomics thing. I used to read a lot more.

[Buttery_Mess]

Iamarg, Dr.McNinja, modest-medusa, darths and droids

[alway]

As for me, I've got a bunch I'm currently watching:
XKCD
Dresden Codak (though it's kinda gone to shit ever since the author started the most recent extended tale; rarely updated, but a must-read)
Darths & Droids; Star Wars scenes set to a D&D theme; another great one which is fairly popular (and large)
Dr. McNinja; More awesome than bacon.
Girl Genius Steampunk adventure; very long, but interesting
SMBC Similar thematically to XKCD, but with more color and intentionally bad art.
Cyanide and Happiness often NSFW; groan-worthy puns and jokes
Vattu another Evan Dahm webcomic; I highly suggest reading Rice Boy and Order of Tales too; as mentioned before, his webcomics feature excellent worldbuilding in a semi-abstract style
Pictures For Sad Children somewhat depressing, extremely funny
Black Hole Or at least I think that's the name... It's a black & white webcomic in space; it has a large archive, but each one goes really fast (in fact, I recommend spending only a second or two on most pages, as it seems to be meant to flow almost like a stop-motion or film storyboard); interesting story, though I'm not entirely sure where it's all going yet.
Twilight Lady Sort of a World of Darkness vibe to it; it's apparently gone through several volumes with several artists (the link is to volume 4, where I started reading).
Homestuck
One I've finished, and which is a completed webcomic:
Digger I highly recommend this one; as, apparently, many others do too, since it won a Hugo Award. It is really, really good. The story follows a wombat; who in the story's lore are sort of like pragmatic dwarves. It also has an adorable demonspawn.

[IronyOwl]

And that fox...

If I ever changed avatars, this would probably still be my avatar.





I also really liked the magical talking bears for some reason. That one on the left could totally be an avatar:

SMBC Similar thematically to XKCD, but with more color and intentionally bad art.

Knew it. I knew I wouldn't remember everything I was reading.

Digger I highly recommend this one; as, apparently, many others do too, since it won a Hugo Award. It is really, really good. The story follows a wombat; who in the story's lore are sort of like pragmatic dwarves. It also has an adorable demonspawn.

Hm. Very well, I'll give this a look.
