If the OP is still taking suggestions for Good Webcomics: ALL-STARS: Kiwi Blitz: A robotics billionaire's eccentric daughter decides to become a super hero, but ends up making things worse for everyone around her. By Mary Cagle, creator of Let's Speak English and Sleepless Domain. Fantasy: Parallax: A below-average high school receives a strange shard of glass by his homeroom teacher and becomes a (very pink) magical super hero. Awaken: A sheltered playboy rich kid's life is upended after he begins to manifest magical powers in a magic-suppressing authoritarian city state. Everblue: In a world covered by water and dotted with floating city states, a talented shipwright encounters a drifter with a flying boat who claims he's out to find the "New World" beyond the sea. Thistil Mistil Kistil: A recently-deceased Viking boy is sent by Odin on a quest to recover the lost fragments of the Aesir's weapons, which were stolen by Loki. And the only one who can help him get them back... is Loki. (currently on extended hiatus) Science Fiction: Moképon: A "mature" Pokémon fan comic that actually looks at the Pokémon world from a mature adult perspective instead of your average grimdark teenage "mature" take on the franchise. Horror/Paranormal: The Zombie Hunters: A crew of wasteland scavengers for one of the last outposts of humanity left in the world struggle to come to terms with the death of their former captain (and the conspiracy that killed him).

Mors Rattus posted:so like, does the main character ever stop being completely insufferable? I'm 72 comics in and I kind of hate him Uhh, that's kind of the point? Atticus is a lovely person with no interest in self-improvement struggling to remain as he is in a world seemingly built around Learning Life Lessons. But the answer is broadly "yes, eventually". The comic's pushing 900 pages, so page 72 is barely scratching the surface.

Yeah, I honestly don't know what the hell's up with TMK. Last I heard the author was focusing on getting a print version of the first few chapters published and that took up the majority of her time, and now she appears to be lost in publishing side story comics set in the same world on Patreon to try and raise money. But yeah, the comic itself hasn't seen a proper update in almost a year now after barely missing an update for 7 years, so I'm just gonna assume that sheep thief just up and shanked Arne and that's where the comic ends. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 04:54 on Sep 19, 2017 |

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:The weirdly titled Bomango has hit 60 pages and looks like it's about to start filling in some of the plot; it's very much paced and drawn as a traditional comic, and bears the promise of motherfucking kaiju: This dude's been dabbling in short story comics in that story universe for years now. I didn't realize he was starting to make an actual story out of it, so that's cool. I'm surprised to see it actually get a recommendation here because for as good as the artwork and story promise behind it is, Bomango is still just really loving weird more often than not, to the point where I can't tell if its actually good or bad.

neogeo0823 posted:Woah, Rjinder's skin monster. I didn't even remember Maugras having an artificial foot... although apparently neither did Magnolia  , since Skin-chan sliced off the wrong foot rather than the one that became Maugras's monster. Usually she's really good on these details, like how if you go back and re-read through the old back and white pages you notice that Nancy's mom is actually all over the place and you just don't realize it because you write her off as a barely connected rando until the big reveal.

Scaramouche posted:Naw they have similar getups in Canada and other Commonwealth could tries. For women they make them dye, grow and style their hair like that. Actually the wig isn't a part of the Canadian legal system (at least not any more). The formal dress is reserved for superior courts, while lower courts just use casual business attire like American courts do. Generally the only time most lawyers in Canada put on a robe like the one Shelly's wearing is at their Bar Call when they first become a lawyer. But yes, in the UK they make female lawyers wear the stupid wig alongside their male counterparts:  Law is weird man.

Nuebot posted:Has the comic ever said anything about someone getting multi-ghost bonuses? Because what if they just go all in on skin-man and turn him into a monster voltron? Not that I know of. I'd just assumed the comic was functioning implicitly on Digimon rules: 1 person, 1monster. Whenever wild ghosts have shown up before, they tend to bee-line for non-mosterized people over trying to double tap one of the kids, from what I recall. I dunno, we might very well see what happens if someone gets hit by more than one ghost. Wouldn't it be ironic if that's what stabilizes Rjinder?

Mors Rattus posted:Check Please: Slice-of-life about a tiny gay boy from Georgia joining a college hockey team in Massachusetts. Extremely cute. Uses some weird slideshow thing for its comics, which takes some getting used to. On a similar vein, I'd also recommend Green & Gold (or it's original German version Grün & Gold). Same sort of premise, only swap out Georgia college with German boarding school. It's kind of on a semi-hiatus now because the author/artist is a professional children's book illustrator in Germany, so that takes up a lot of her time now, but it's kind of cool if you want to try and learn to read German to compare the original version with the translated one.

Samuringa posted:"tiny" Generally speaking, hockey players tend to be 6'+. Players who are like 5'9" are considered small for the sport. So yeah, in the real world, Eric would be of average height. But in the hockey world, which the comic is based and stylized around, he's positively minuscule.

Pavlov posted:Demon Street's art shifts are sad because I really like the first style the most. A couple of comics I've seen have done that lately. Thunderbird started out with a really neat and detailed art style that got me hooked on it, but then it abruptly changed to its current flat pastel style and it just killed my interest in continuing with it. Which is a shame because it's got a really nifty premise.

Kurui Reiten posted:So, considering the fifty or so comics people are saying are connected to it, and spun off it, and weave in and out of it, and just generally exist as part of it... From my understanding the reading order goes:
Things get a little hairy when you get to Giant Days because there's actually two different Giant Days series, both focused around Esther de Groot. The first one's a (now unpublished) webcomic mini-series, and the current Giant Days is a serial print comic that's currently(?) in the process of winding down its storyline. There's also a series of Shelly Winters short story comics shoved in before and during Bad Machinery like Murder She Writes, Skellington, and Girl Spy. Basically yeah holy poo poo you have a task ahead of you because John Allison has been writing about these characters for nearly 20 years now.

My first “real” webcomic experience was Life of Reilly, and what a cocktease that one was. It loved going up its own rear end more than moving the plot forward, it gave El Goonish Shiv a run for its money in indulging its creators’ fetishes, and then died on the doorstep of actually paying off a whole bunch of the plot points it had accumulated since it flipped from being a gag a day strip to an ongoing story. In hindsight, it wasn’t as anywhere as good as I thought it was at the time, but godDAMN I would still love to know what the endgame was for that story because it was sure going places near the end.

Android Blues posted:When you think about it there was something fairly magical about the fact that webcomics used to cross-promote just to other webcomics that the creators liked, not as part of an advertising program or cross-brand synergy but purely on the basis of enthusiasm for the material. That was pretty much how I found Life of Reilly. They did a tiny crossover with Penny Arcade and I was like “wow, this looks a lot cooler than whatever PA’s doing”.
