Webcomics Recommendations

If you like superheros and animesque stuff, give Kiwi Blitz a try. It's mostly humor with a serious story as well, broken up into several arcs. It follows a 14 year old girl with a gigantic battle mech who decides to become a superhero, and it follows the standard superhero format pretty well while handling the nonsensical aspects a bit more realistically than most, but overall it's pretty lighthearted and fun.

Psycho Frea X, I recommend Rusty and Co. if that's what you're looking for.

I suggest checking out No Need For Bushido.

I'd suggest Spacetrawler.

Well that's quite a few suggestions. I guess each a try.

I suggest The Dreamland Chronicles.

I would recommend Paranatural and Powernap. Both have a somewhat goofy art style, comedy, and also action.

Unfortunately both are rather short, archive-wise.

Seconding the recommendation for Paranatural

I have a generic recommendation: Myst: The Book of Atrus is being adapted to webcomic. :D

'Tis greyscale and sweet. ^_^

Hey Loni, thanks for those recs. I'm now in love with both those comics. Any more in that style?

Can anyone recommend things similar to Lackadaisy? The archives were disappointingly short...

@NLK: Sorry, I can't think of any more at the moment. But I'm glad you like them

What about Lackadaisy do you like?

Mmm... amazing artwork, setting, unique individual characterisation, and the sort of not-quite-ensemble approach it takes to casting. (I know it shares those last three with Baccano but I expect finding another great series that aligns to such the same extent might be too much to hope for.)

@NLK: Oh, I thought of another recommendation that is sort of similar in terms of the bright art style and action/comedy. Have you read Hanna Is Not A Boys Name ?

The page designs are really quite arty and always interesting. The characters are good, as well, but sadly I think it's a dead work, so if that bothers you you might prefer not to start it.

I like Gloomverse, it's cute and whimsical. Do we have a tropes page for that one yet?

No, we do not. Fire up your editing powers, and go off and create the page, you crazy person, you.

Yeah, I read Hanna etc. Excellent comic. Have I pimped the comics in my sig today yet?

General rec: No Rest For The Wicked is incredible. I haven't finished it yet, but it's a really dark, gorgeous reimagined-fairy-tale soup with awesome female leads/characters in general. The art style takes a bit of getting used to, but it's really not bad, and the characters! the characters!!

A webcomic for (sheet)Music Nerds Don't Shoot The Pianist

@Psycho Frea X

A loooong time after your question, but I'm still going to post it. Try Tale of Fiction. The English is not perfect, but the jokes aren't bad and the story deserves some love. Art evolves a bit, too.

This is pretty awesome. ^_^

So. I recommend Zebra Girl. Get past the first year or so and it gets better, I promise. And Sam might just be my favorite character ever.

Imagine for a moment, if you will, that our own dearly beloved Scythemantis was the creative mastermind behind Dilbert.

Intrigued, but imagining it only with difficulty? I believe it would look something like The Snail Factory.

I'm looking for something that's a parody of those old mystery shows like Scooby Doo and Josie And The Pussycats. I'd prefer it if it wan't animesque or furry.
