Webcomics Recommendations

Questionable Content is addictive, the first six "books" of Misfile are among the most compelling things I've ever read; and Sequential Art, is brilliant, albeit so short I finished it in one sitting.

And then of course there's XKCD...

I generally prefer surreal Slice of Life Science Fiction Gag A Day Mind Screw stuff, as my (probably pretty obvious and almost certainly already mentioned) recommendations may suggest.

I'm afraid the nearest thing I can think of are two single-shot comics on Bogleech.

Hello, I will try to make this request brief and such. I have read very few webcomics and have the terrible habit of forming a "I'll do it later." attitude with them. So I'm open for any type of webcomic but I'd prefer the more story the better.

As someone who knows how difficult it can be to archive binge, I'll suggest something relatively short and light, and go with Dumbing of Age. It might take some getting used to the format to read anything longer or that requires more attention.

Lackadaisy and Broodhollow are ongoing, but have very short archives. A Miracle Of Science and The Phoenix Requiem are a bit longer, but both concluded. All four are quite story-oriented. :)

If you want concluded webcomics, Darken, Errant Story, The Last Days Of FOXHOUND and Eight Bit Theater are all concluded. They have varying levels of accessibility, though.

Might I ask for recommendations for webcomics with good animesque artstyles? Maybe like Shokugeki no Soma, God of High School, Maken-Ki, Noblesse, or Space China Dress? Webcomics with an artstyle similar to Vinland Saga or Vagabond would also be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

The Phoenix Requiem?

Perhaps Paranatural?

I'm looking for geeky comics without a storyline, like XKCD or SMBC, but not the Two Gamers on a Couch thing, and preferably something that I can go on an archive binge with.

Wondermark, Hark A Vagrant, mezzacotta (especially Square Root Of Minus Garfield and Comments on a Postcard), Circle versus Square, Chainsawsuit, A Softer World.

Wasn't expecting so many. That should keep me busy for a while, thanks.

You're welcome!

So, I've just finished Errant Story (dammit Poe, you could have at least thrown in a page or two between "Resolution of the climax" and the epilogue!). Does anybody know of any other similar webcomics, with decent art, a sci-fi/fantasy bent and a strong, diverse cast of characters? Non yaoi or yuri, of course.

I'm currently reading Order of the Stick, Cura te Ipsum, and Girl Genius.

I'll assume you mean either sci-fi or fantasy, instead of Science Fantasy.

I'd suggest Within a Mile of Home or Slightly Damned for starters.

Sluggy Freelance, Archipelago, Supernormal Step, Paranatural, Gunnerkrigg Court, Cucumber Quest, El Goonish Shive?

I'll second Gunnerkrigg Court, and add: Schlock Mercenary; A Miracle Of Science; Freefall; Darths And Droids; Narbonic; Skin Horse; Get Medieval; The Meek; and No Rest For The Wicked.

Is there a webcomic that does to Zelda what Bob And George did for Mega Man? Preferably sprite, but other artstyles are welcome.

Zelda Comic is the first that comes to mind. But it's incomplete and hasn't updated since 2011.

If I liked The Stanley Parable, is there anything else with a similar sense of humor?

Cucumber Quest is So Good. Gigidigi has found this great balance of humor and tension that is just so fun to read. It's funny but never too corny, it has very good conflict, but it never takes the drama so seriously that it takes over the comic. Plus the art is really good.

And I'm always hyped for every new page. Everyone should check it out.

Homestuck has elements of that, especially in the most recents acts. I think forum-guided adventures like it, or whatever that medium/genre is called, will tend to have at least a bit of it.

Oh! Also, definitely look at 1/0.

I require something which fairs really well under an archive binge. An immersive, escapist narrative.

As long as it's a page turner.

Basically I'm nostalgic for the days when I first discovered Order Of The Stick and read eight hundred pages and found myself hungry for eight hundred more.

What have you read? I'd recommend Unsounded or Digger, just because they're some of my favourites.

If you want something completed, I recommend The Phoenix Requiem, or—if you want something a little stranger—perhaps Rice Boy.
