Webcomics Recommendations

Huhwa?

Footloose has been gradually improving and bulking up over the past four months; it's time I pushed it to you again.

There's just something about it. Maybe it's that it tickles every part of my fancy - martial arts with lame names, playing with tropes, pirates, doing clever, self-aware things with plot and the medium (this is definitely a comic for chronic tropers), gender role reversals... it's just a shame the art is so workmanlike.

Brawl In The Family. The first webcomic I ever heard of was penny arcade, which I thought would be funny. Unfortunatly, I have higher standards than most people, and when I found out that Penny arcade used the F-bomb as both an adjective, noun, pronoun, and conjunction, I swore off webcomics for life. Eventually I found TV tropes, and consistently avoided the webcomics section until I found this page on brawl in the family. It was my first archive binge. I LOVED IT!!!!. So thank you, BITF, for not only being funny and clean, but for showing me that webcomics aren't all penny arcade.

Also, recommending Ratfist here. Drawn and written by the artist of earthworm jim. That is all.

Leppu from DA finally uploaded her webcomic. It's only got four pages and a title so far, but it is gorgeous and terribly sad and I kind of want to bawl. Here.

Who un-pinned this?

Edit: No response then? Time to holler.

Edit 2: Thank you, mystery mod, whoever you are.

Recommending Eerie Cuties and Magick Chicks for any that likes a good dram-com.

If you take it Magick Chicks is a spinoff of Eerie Cuties

Terror Island is one comic I heartily recommend to anyone who listens.

It's one of the funniest webcomics I've ever read, and it's good graphically (note that it's a Photo Comic).

Lovecraft Is Missing needs more love.

So does Instant Classic - I know only three people who read it, one of them is me, and the other two are people whom I've recommended it. :P You'd think convoluted Genre Savvy stand-offs between pretentious indie film studios who differ on the nature of True Art would be more popular on this site!

If it hasn't been mentioned lately, One Over Zero is a must-read for webcomic fans.

I just completed my binge - Archipelago has lovable characters, a complex plot and great moments. Top recommendation. Oh, and the artwork, as is the norm, improves greatly, so give it time.

Beary Scary mentioned La Valse des Reves, and I like it so far. Plus it's relatively new, so there is no huge archive binging to do.

Masked Manor: "Horror Humor Comic" about a vampire and a witch and a mummy and a mystery or something. Very well-drawn; also amusing.

Supernormal Step. Great art, lovable and original characters, and cool action sequences. Two thumbs up, so to speak.

Also, I just finished Freak Angels. It seems to have just ended, and it's a great, surreal, dark and very British binge. Fully recommended.

Webcomics101. I just started reading it. Not only is it cute, simple, and satirical, but it actually has helpful advice.

What would you suggest to a fan of Dr. McNinja, Gunnerkrigg Court, The Order Of The Stick and El Goonish Shive?

Preferably a long-runner, completed or not.

Obviously Girl Genius; If you read that, then you have finished the big TV Tropes Webcomics. Those 5 (not counting Homestuck as I think that should fall under Web Original) are the big TV Tropes comics.

Axe Cop for fans of Dr Mcninja, Rusty And Co for fans of Order Of The Stick.

Building off of The Order Of The Stick, Darths And Droids and Goblins Life Through Their Eyes.

Try 8-bit theater and Sluggy Freelance. With those two, there's enough material for months. I'd re-recommend those I've said, but you can just read the thread.

Eight Bit Theatre is definitely a good one, as is Darths And Droids.

Eight Bit Theater is definitely good... but I finished it via Archive Binge.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I recommend Sequential Art. Sometimes the Author Tract can be a bit blatant and humor too unsubtle, but it's a very easy and fun read.

If you're a hopeless troper, Footloose is interesting for its fourth-wall-breaking. Sometimes literally.

Unsounded is sumptuous - plot carefully woven, gorgeously drawn and coloured.

Bearmageddon

Because tentacled bears.
