Since the abnominable Roosterboy already started the regular webcomic thread, I guess it's time to give the webcomic thread a new start as well.
Butch R. Mann rides again, homicidal maniacs of the world rejoice!
At Vexxar the Schlumpy arc is over and the main cast is back with it's shenanigans
At Sluggy Freelance, Dr. Schlock is marching straight towards His Masterness path, can Torg and his allies stop him?

Challenges of Zona is fantasy adventure of the ordinary man from San Fernandino who somehow ends up to fantasy world infested with monsters. He didn't fall there through rabbit hole though...

I'll add more when I'm back on my personal computer and its bookmarks.

Is it just me, or does it look like Dr Schlocks plan looks like it will eventually turn into 4U City that Riff is already enjoyng?

All pieces are on the table including the monsters. Some players are in different roles though so we'll se if Torg can clear the table before the endgame.

And you know who we haven't seen in a very long while? Gwynn. What ever happened to her?

PsihoKekec · « **Reply #6 on:** 21 February 2011, 02:00:15 »

I'm sure she'll come into light when Kizke and his cult begin their play-

I'm afraid to try and work out just how many webcomics i check regularly :D

one I did come across recently that's bad/wrong/fun to read is one called "Weapon Brown"

yes, linking to it would be (I believe) against forum rules. However, if you were to do a google search should bring up the first page as the first link ;)

*disclaimer* NSFW etc etc, yada yada yada :P

Questionable Content
XKCD
VGCats
Dr. McNinja
Lackadaisycats
Gone With the Blastwave

I wish VGCats and Lackadaisycats would update more often though. Once a month is very slow (GWTB is at like two a year, so I don't notice as much).

Stormlion1 · « **Reply #10 on:** 23 February 2011, 01:50:21 »

Girl Genuis, Questionable Content, Sluggy Freelance, Shortpacked, Chimneyspeak, Blip, and Something Positive make up the ones I check out pretty often.

You better belive it. Sadly many of the character references in it are lost to me as I don't know other comics that well.

I really enjoyed this webcomic; the writer/artist's talent was/is evident. Sadly, when he essentially put the comic in hiatus, I opted to no longer follow it.

Order of the Stick has a new Crowning Moment of Funny!

That, too!

And I forgot about The Meek!

I went through the archives of Gunnerkrigg Court yesterday and I have to say that they have some of the strangest dorms ever imagined at that 'school'.

I wonder what the relationship is between The Court/Gillitie Wood and the Outside World. It looks like part of each, the entrance if you will, exists in the real world, while the rest is in its own 'pocket universe' which would allow them to huge without impacting real world geography or showing up on a map. If The Court existed completely in the real world, instead of wondering how big it is, Annie and Kat could just look at it on Google Maps. The size also reveals that The Court is far, far more than a school, or even a university. I believe there is some malevolent operation behind The Court, but I wouldn't trust Coyote either.

And what the hell is Coyote doing in England, anyway? Where are all of the other deities, God in particular, when Coyote is screwing around and using the Moon as a play toy? Why can one deity, an obscure one like Coyote, manifest with such power in The Wood while other deities remain absent?

Coyote's there for the same reason aliens always land in the US first. It's where the author lives. ;)

This week, I started reading a relatively recently introed webcomic...it's called "Next Town Over", and has some really nice artwork, and the story for the 21 pages released so far has been excellent...

Reminds me quite a bit of Deadlands, as it has combined the Old West with some steampunk tech, and what appears to be magic and the undead...

I'm going to have to start paying attention to this thread. I dunno, shocking as it sounds, I've rarely if ever got into web comics. :-[

(Yeah, even those two. :-[ )

I was starting to think I was the only one still reading that comic.

PsihoKekec · « **Reply #26 on:** 08 July 2011, 05:37:05 »

Riff saved Zoe
We will find out who is the undercover Sith on the Starship Muffin. Sometime this week.

Some comics I haven't seen mentioned:

Dead Winter - best described as a charming/cutesy zombie comic (great art)
The Abominable Charles Christopher - combination of talking forest creatures and an abominable Charles Christopher (stunning art)
Bad Machinery/Scary Go Round - mystery solving kids (currently updated)/mystery solving adults (completed), both in "Tackleford, England"
Hark! A Vagrant - time to learn you some history... sort of??
Cat Rackham - almost never updated, but has a nice collection of short comics
Axe Cop - superbly drawn comic fueled by the madness that is a 6 year old's imagination
Gunshow - Not even sure what this one is about. It's pretty crazy though.

I also like Gunnerkrigg Court, Dr. McNinja, Girl Genius, and Manly Guys Doing Manly Things. I read Girls With Slingshots, too, although I don't feel like it's on the same level of awesome as the aforementioned comics. YMMV!
