openShounen-ish Webcomic Webcomic
A webcomic where the protagonist is an android boy that works on coal. Has dark skin. There's a smoke pipe that comes out his back. He travels with a big guy who was wrongfully accused and seperated from his daughter.
It was colored. Had a cartoony visual style. Probably wasn't Japanese or American, but I might be wrong on this.
openSilent Protagonist Webcomic
I found the webcomic a while ago and it seems to have disappeared from Tvtropes since. I only know the plot of the beginning: the protagonist is whisked away to the space with a strange human looking alien who claims he made a prophecy concerning him. The guy went with him to a space station, only to find out the prophet is actually from a race of prophets who are mostly made extinct because they have the ability to make prophecies on a whim, and they inconveniently come true, which the people involved understandably hate. The poor guy can't find the way back because he lost his voice because he literally became a voiceless protagonist and no one can understand his writing. So, anyone know the webcomic I am describing? I'd pretty much like to see where it was all going. Thanks!
openWebcomic with male lead and purple haired love interest? Webcomic
There was a webcomic I read ages ago about a boy who basically ‘dies’ and then wakes up in class as a kid again with all knowledge from the time he died. He starts off as one of the weakest in his class but with his knowledge uses it to train and get stronger. His class and the higher tier kids look down on him and he makes a bet with his teacher that if he can get up to a certain tier then she has to quit teaching them and he also takes on teaching a purple haired girl and a couple of other kids.
They all go up in levels with ease after the training.
Part of what he remembers is alchemy and so he sells potions and stuff that help with levelling up to the alchemy association that start looking out for him and paying him and stuff.
And he’s a kid at this time and he gets stronger quite quickly
And the purple haired girl he has a crush on may end up with some kind of moon sickness/poisoning from training at night and so he gets her to stop and rest and helps with the training and stuff
Because they’re all told it’s nigh impossible to move high up unless you’re born with that ranks powers
But he proves them wrong
And I can't remember the name of this webcomic at all, please help?
openMartial arts webomic Webcomic
There's a web comic I'm looking for which:
- it is mostly just fight scenes with little dialogue or character
- it is written by a martial artist who has a distinct distaste in unrealistic fight scenes. He hated anime in particular.
- the comic is also very heavy on commentary on martial arts in fiction
- he once wrote an article that superheroes only know a handful of moves
- he wrote an article on how you can't write a good fight scene; you have to show it (he dismisses fight scenes in novels)
- he wrote about The Matrix positively
- I think one fight was called The Encounter
- he analyzed a panel from an Electra comic
- another strip talked about how a certain one-armed throwing move doesn't have enough leverage in real life.
- another lamented on how characters will be world class martial artists but in reality only seem to know a handful of moves.

openATLA Fan-Comic Webcomic
Does anyone know which comic this is? I saw it on Deviantart 5-6 years ago. It was unfinished and about 20-30 pages long. it's an Avatar the Last Airbender AU where Aang came out of the iceberg many years later than in canon. Katara, Sokka, and Zuko are middle-aged.
Edit: Found it. It's Alternate History.
Edited by Pichu-kunopenWebcomic: a cartoon artist is trying to slip his fetish into a cartoon Webcomic
The artist is pitching his story idea for a cartoon episode to the rest of the team including his inflation fetish.One of the people says "great but we can cut the inflation part because it adds nothing to the plot and would be time consuming to make" and then the artist stars sweating because he wants to keep it in the cartoon but doesn't want to admit he has a fetish.
openTribal winged people on an island Webcomic
I'm pretty sure it was a webcomic I saw years ago, and it had people with bird-like wings living on an island. Their wings were bright colours and single colours. I think the story followed this girl with no wings and there was a ceremony near the beginning. That's all I remember so hopefully someone knows it?
openG1 My Little Pony fancomic Webcomic
Anyone know which comic this is? I remember it having its own website. It's a G1 MLP comic starring a (white?) Winged Unicorn raised in disguise amongst normal ponies.
Edit:
It's Worlds Apart (MLP).
Edited by Pichu-kunopenA black and white fantasy web comic Webcomic
It was a decently lengthy black and white fantasy web comic. I think it was about a journey and I remember very few details. Possibly unhelpful, but I remember things like swords and skeletons and a tower. The art style wasn't very stylized, if it was at all, and I'm not sure if it even had words. I read it about 5-8 years ago

Man rescued from a drifting by a pair blue skinned, yellow freckled alien sisters. I believe humans are suppose to be extinct, hes at least the 'Token Human' of the comic through what I've read
The later get find a furry (cat derivative) stowaway, which they drop of on the next planet. The might have been a squid/octopus alien in there too, but I'm not sure.
Haven't see in in two years, don't remember the name. It wasn't very long at the time, I say under a 100 pages, but fairly detailed art
