I-I have this problem too. ><;

[Egan_BW]

Alright, I finished Broodhollow. Gimmie another one, Soli!

PTW/PTR.

Okay, posting another one.

Octopus Pie: (Story Guide)

Adventures in the lives of various young adults as they try to figure out How To Adult Right. Set in a pretty normal Brooklyn, which occasionally reveals itself to be in an alternate universe where things like teleporters exist? Great characters, really expressive artwork, excellent writing, and plots full of humor and heart that hit you in the gut when you're least expecting it. Great reading for anyone who loves smart, funny, occasionally surreal character-driven stories. There's a lot to read here, but the Story Guide sums up most of the plots if you want to pick one that sounds fun. The linked comics are both oldies, but they're good places to see the sort of plots you can expect.

Spoiler: Also, for reference, it's a weight-lifting term. (click to show/hide)

Ahahahaha I'd never have the willpower to draw a strip every week. That's why when I make my webcomic I'll write the whole damn thing first then pay someone else so I can use THEIR talent and willpower.

Poof. 

I'll admit, I giggled audibly at the faces in that last panel.

Yeah, that bit kinda made my morning. That's one way to earn someone's respect, and then flush it down the toilet.

Here's one more Comic for the Comic Pile.

Cucumber Quest:

Starring "Legendary Hero" Cucumber, his much more traditionally Heroic younger sister Almond, and their various companions, as they adventure to save the Planet/Kingdom of Dreamside from a disaster that seems to just keep coming back every couple generations. Just go read it. It's cute, it's smart, it's beautiful, it's funny, it's a great setting, the characters are fun, and it's just a great read. The character designs and color work are absolutely top-notch, and I love the painterly visual style. It seemed to start off as a simple parody, but gradually became a pretty brilliant deconstruction of coming of age style Genre Fantasy, with some really interesting Big Bad Evil Guys. One of my favorites.

I like this. Gonna read that.

Erma comic!
I love how well-versed the comments are, and how many references the art is able to point out here.

[Max™]

Remarkably there isn't a thread for http://killsixbilliondemons.com/ but Abaddon got a patreon going and started updating regularly and it is sooooooo good I wanna make a df mod out of it or something.

Most recently I noticed the rather amazing foreshadowing from the very first few pages to the most recent events.

I find that many decent webcomics can be found by looking through the links of other webcomics...

Some comic reviews, completely devoid of order.

Spoiler: A magical Roommate (click to show/hide)

Slice-of-life, fantastic, completed(2100)
A magically-adept noble from a fantasy world is forced to go to college in a mundane world. The worlds are largely unaware of each other and the comic is mostly about the events caused by various fantasy elements showing up and the main character's general disinterest in anything that they are actually supposed to be doing.
The art is bad, but functional and consistent, can grow on you after a while, and improves with time without changing the underlying style.
The characters tend to be varied but sometimes tend to extremes. Some of them might be too ideal for some tastes and towards the end some of them get pretty unsympathetic.
I found it compelling enough to go through once so if you want an ongoing fantasy story that has little-if-anything in the way of epic quests, raging wars, monstrous attacks or anything much else iconic of the genre then you could do worse.

Spoiler: To Prevent World Peace (click to show/hide)

By the same Author as A Magical Roommate. Fantastic and ongoing(June 2016).
In a world where magical girls are common, a reluctant mage informs a determined magical girl of a future in which they go bad and the magical girl embarks on a mission to correct bad behaviour in magical girls everywhere.
The story seems to mostly be driven by factional disputes and various difficulties with the world's extremely limited divination magic with some curious world-building in support.

Spoiler: Basin Vale (click to show/hide)

Fantastic(monsters exist), not updating?(June 2016)
There is something whimsical and expressive about the artstyle that I love, and the character's seem compelling. Thus far the seemingly main character has made it to the setting and encountered some problems, but main cast members have not been introduced and pretty much nothing has been resolved. There are only about 70 pages so an archive binge is probably worth it if you don't mind going through a discontinued story.
 The real issue here is whether the comic is dead or not. There are occasional large flash updates, and the comic was slow to update before, and it has only been about six months or so and the author seems to continue to be active and seems to have put a lot of effort in already, so not all hope is lost, but it doesn't look like the project is ever going to be finished at its current rate...

Spoiler: Return to Eden (click to show/hide)

Troubles, fantastic, completed(613).
This one really didn't click with me. All the characters have basically random superpowers and superpowered issues and try to sort them out over the course of a rather brief power-struggle. The end is depressing, especially with a bit of consideration of the future prospects. Still, it is a completed webcomic with a story and decent production so it rates a mention... Page three and four of the epilogue may or may not make it all worthwhile depending upon your tastes...

Spoiler: Errant Story (click to show/hide)

Quest, fantastic, completed(?)
A student from a magic school embarks on a quest to become an all-powerful villain! Is not really the plot, but it prods the story along in places... It has several layers of depressing ranging from individuals being mentally disintegrated by their own hopes, the brave and the glorious being suddenly erased by circumstance, and at least one implied genocide(if you have read it, then I am probably not talking about the same thing that you think that I am talking about...)... Still, a generally entertaining story if you don't form any attachment at all, and a credible story if you do...

Spoiler: A Miracle of Science (click to show/hide)

Psychology/Detective, Science, Completed(435)
There are rumours of Advanced, possibly unstable intelligences being designed and the enigmatic planet of Mars has expressed concerns that mad science may be involved... Mostly about a detective tracking down a villain with frequent inserts of the villain's actions. So it isn't really hiding all that much from the audience, it is more about watching the character's figure out their own and each others' varied circumstances and find their way towards their various ends. There is surprising little mad science considering the setting, but it shouldn't leave you completely starved, especially if you include Mars' various quirks. It is mostly harmless, so if you don't find the characters and setting annoying after the early pages then the relatively brief story should be worth the effort.

They went on to do Afterlife Blues which seemed to be getting off to a good(though more lethal) start, but stopped updating a long while back and is probably deceased and I really don't recall much of it now...

Spoiler: No Rest for the Wicked (click to show/hide)

Journey, Fantastic, Inactive(June 2016)
I recall being enchanted by this at the time, but that was a while ago and my recollections are dim, so I will just go ahead and blindly recommend it to anyone who likes fables. It is basically a bunch of classic fairytale characters reinterpreted and put into a single story...

Spoiler: Narbonic (click to show/hide)

Slice-of-mad-Life, Mad-Mundane, Completed(umm, quite a few?)
Quite possibly THE mad-science webcomic. I have never really seen anything ill said of it and it seems quite popular. Much the same can be said of the Author's other works too for that matter, some of which are still ongoing.
There is an ongoing storyline in there somewhere but it mostly follows the events of a life spent bathed in the influence of mad science so expect machines, monsters, and mutations and the characters who address, adapt, or ignore such things to survive. Despite a strong tendency for everything to get fixed eventually, there is definite change and things can get spoiled so do avoid reading too far ahead...

Spoiler: Kila Ilo (click to show/hide)

Science Fiction, Ongoing(June 2016)
I noticed a trend of Yellow eyes and remembered this. In short, an idle and wealthy researcher hires a small ship and its very small crew to search for a mythical weapon of largely archaeological interest. It turns out that the planet that they search may not be as uninhabited as expected, and that the crew may have a secret or two.
I like the aliens, I like the characters, I like the setting, I like the story, I really cannot recommend it enough, though maybe it is just pushing all the right buttons, mileage varies and all that jazz... I mean, it does have the yellow eyes thing that is cropping up a lot...
Long story short, I really like this too much to give a constructive criticism...

I will probably come back and add some more someday...

Dr McNinja once again delivers. I like the old ones which keep trundling.

I really hate that this is inactive. I was following it from about its 3rd chapter on, iirc, and I enjoyed it a lot.

So, you encounter a horde of childlike little creatures born when lightning strikes the Earth that just so happen to eat humans and have you more or less surrounded.  What do you do?

Hey thread. Been shirking my duty to share webcomics with y'all. Here's one more.

Lady of the Shard

If you don't want to get into a new longform comic, this one is a good read since it's all wrapped up. From the description, it's about an acolyte who falls in love with the goddess she serves. The story is short, sweet, funny, sad, exciting, and a bit saucy, with some pretty swanky worldbuilding behind it. The oekaki 2-bit style looks awesome, and it makes great use of being in a digital medium, with scrolling, transparency, and all that. Made by the same gal who writes Cucumber Quest.

Spoiler: Highly recommended, if you like fantasy/sci-fi hybrids, action, romance, and stuff like that (click to show/hide)
