It was by no means the "greatest" comic, but I still have a soft spot for Dr. McNinja. I still miss that extremely silly and overly dramatic nonsense.

How horrible that I remembered Octopus Pie as being in the 2000s, but concur. Cucumber Quest was a good run, I liked He is a Good Boy, what else. Ben Saber. A one off called "Party Bear" which now exists nowhere.

I never got the love for Octupus Pie but I always figured it was because I couldn't see myself in it. The same way somepeople don't like MM&O because they don't have a connection to that life.

Or something, who knows.

I've fallen off on reading a lot of webcomics, and haven't really added many new ones for a while, but Latchkey Kingdom has always managed to be fun and interesting enough to keep my attention.

Oh wow, Three Panel Soul has been going since 2006.

Joining the K6BD bandwagon. All my other favorites started before 2011, or don't deserve the title quite as much as "wuxia film set in a heavy metal album cover, except full of lesbians" does.

I was considering SD. Think it's definitely in my top three, though.

Only counting ones that started during or after January 2011...
1. K6BD
2. Sleepless Domain
3. Cucumber Quest (:rip:)

Honorable mention goes to Paranatural, which started mid-2010, just barely disqualifying it.

Although if we were looking for influential or important comics of the 10's it would be a hard one to deny. And I'd still say the comic was good, at least in the way one would say The Simpsons was good.

I'm slightly horrified that all the webcomics I read started before 2010, usually by a long way. A couple of them aren't far off their 20th anniversaries.

Gunnerkrigg Court remains my favorite and so I'd vote for it for best of the 2010s. K6BDs and Sleepless Domain are absolutely up there, though.

I think the new Nancy has the potential to be the best of the 2020s.

My top five would be, in no real order

Vattu
Feast for a King
K6BD
Awful Hospital
17776




Alethia would probably make the cut if there was a little more of it but it only started in 2019 and is still gathering momentum.

I think calling 17776 a webcomic really stretches the definition of "comic", no matter how good the writing is. (It's very good, go read 17776, and 20020, and The Tim Tebow CFL Chronicles.)

it's serialized fiction released on the web with pictures and words, what else is missing?

if dinosaur comics is a webcomic, 17776 is a webcomic

e: i like your stretch of the meaning of the word but i think 17776 is probably classificed best as illustrated fiction. if you sold it to someone as a comic they'd be pretty confused

Homestuck isn't the best webcomic of the 2010s, but it sure is the most webcomic of the 2010s.

See, I would argue that for a webcomic the whole browser window is a panel and the next button is all the sequence you need--or are Homestuck and Awful Hospital illustrated fiction rather than webcomics as well?

It's definitely not a conventional comic and there are more specific descriptors you can use for it to be sure, but like..... it counts

my thought on this: each page of homestuck is basically the same set up as a far side comic. a panel and a caption. homestuck captions are just enormous. you read the panel, then click to the next panel to continue the story immediately.

the images in 17776 are not sequential. the purpose they serve is to illustrate the points being made in the text, or to create a visual experience that enhances reading the text. but you can't jump from one image to the next and understand a sense of continuity.


does that make sense? i think this is very up for debate im talking out of my rear end here lol

Ulysses "Seen" is/was definitely a webcomic (sadly no longer published online, looks like); i challenge you to find continuity in the images in that one with or without words haha





vvv Dinosaur comics has objectively the most out of whack words:images ratio there is and i don't think anyone would dispute it's a webcomic
