Are there any good horror webcomics? I played a few RPG Maker horror games that kicked me into a horror bent and was wondering if there were any webcomic's in the horror genre. should be worth a try, also The Last Halloween. At least if you like some humor with your horror. Just finished Book 1 of Broodhollow. I like it so far! |

Oh, damn you to hell and back and some other places too! Now I have yet another webcomic update to crave for, and this one with just a dose per week. You would hate Ava's Demon, then.  ...I say as she updates only three weeks after the previous update. |

Nah, she updated mid-March, and dropped legit content on April Fools Day as well. |

Nah, she updated mid-March, and dropped legit content on April Fools Day as well. You're right, 1467-1496 was the first update, 1497-1510 was the March update, and 1511-1523 was the last one. Hm, Dresden Codak keeps updating at a fairly reasonable speed (even if it's been mostly Mary Suing), while Cucumber Quest has gone on pause, and Homestuck is on the last stretch. Truly marvellous happenings are going on in the land of events. Oh, and I should say I also started on Broodhollow, a little way into the second chapter now. Is "art dissonance" a thing? There are stuffs I like much about it but also some things seem kind of inconsistent, though I guess everything can become a plot point later. And another edit to say I strongly recommend Camp Weedonwantcha. |

I would recommend a few others in addition to many of those previously mentioned in no actual order other than almost alphabetical; I only listed those that I didn't see any one else mention:
1. Daughter of the Lilies (updates twice a week)
2. Next Town Over (the art is beyond amazing; and the characters are very well developed; updates once per week)
3. Liar's Dice (still pretty new, but I am enjoying it; it updates once per week)
4. Miamaska (updates 1 or 2 times per week; I love the story, which is a great mix of fantasy, and sci-fi)
5. Prague Race (I think it updates twice a week at least; but sometimes updates seem to occur on random days - might be a time zone thing)
6. Tethered (updates about once a week)
Finished comics that I enjoyed:
1. The Phoenix Requiem (a really well done story and the art is very good)
2. Heart-shaped Skull (GKC fans would enjoy this one, I think; there are a couple of NSFW pages, but they are noted by the author)
3. Run Freak Run! (I think there is some language that some might consider questionable; I found this comic to be extremely entertaining)
4. A Redtail's Dream (well worth your time; I know several other people DID mention this one, but it is too good to leave out)
I have also read a few others that either don't update or update infrequently which were good, but I'm not actively checking in on: 1. Mystic Rev (looks to be indefinitely dead, which is too bad, because after investing so much time in this one, it seemed like the end was near) 2. Perpetual Flux (great story, but hasn't updated a comic page in a long time; the authors are still posting bonus pages, so I think they plan on keeping the story going) 3. The End (a pretty good sci fi story; it actually does update twice a week, but I am just waiting to get back into it; I was getting lost in the threads of the plot and I think it will be better to read in large chunks) 4. Shadowbinders (I really enjoy this one, but I usually check in every 6 months and read whatever pages have posted in that time) |

Binged, and added to the Tuesday and Thursday lists. I can't really explain why I didn't really like the others, most of them look beautiful. It takes some time to get used to the drawing style, but I think I'm going to like this one. I almost finished this one, great read. (there is a "name your own price" pdf available, always a good way to make me part with my money...) Not checked this list yet. Pretty sure I don't know any of them. That's the way I read Unsounded and Dresden Codak. |

I used to read Homestuck, but that time has now passed. Anyone else confused by the ending? I believe I grasped the major themes. Like how you can grow up and build a decent world for everyone to live in and have happy endings [provided you can bring people back from the dead and retcon the past as much as you want]. Other sub-themes I pretended I didn't notice. But if you're really confused you can re-read it. From the beginning.  |

I almost finished this one, great read. (there is a "name your own price" pdf available, always a good way to make me part with my money...) Heart-shaped Skull kind of has a very non-standard look/style to it, but once you get used to the fact that it's basically a diary it's really enjoyable. I felt a little bit confused right at the beginning pages, and maybe through most of the first chapter, but after that, I just got into it. I think you'll like it.
Run Freak Run is just a great story and Two is one of the best characters ever.

I have mentioned the few I read here and there on this forum, but does anybody else here read Not Drunk Enough? Compared to most web comics I've seen it's different in a couple of ways: Firstly, it is regularly published and not "on hiatus". Secondly, it appears to be a kind of Aristotelian, so to say, a classic piece of story-telling, in many ways, in the sense that despite all the flashbacks and complications it basically forms a whole of events that happen in one place, fa one unitary plot with a beginning, middle, and end, from which the comic doesn't really part. Which means that it also has a sense that it is not going to just go on forever, which is not something I get from, um, almost any other webcomic. It's almost as if it was written and drawn in its whole before its publishing online started. Anyway, it's also kind of cool if you don't mind the rather monotone dialogue consisting of cursing, yelling and punching. |

I used to read Homestuck, but that time has now passed. Anyone else confused by the ending? Only thing I'm confused about is why Hussie left so many plot threads unaddressed. I mean, he has promised an epilogue, and the epilogue to Problem Sleuth wrapped everything up quite nicely, but there was so much he could have should have cashed in on but didn't. That deliberate ominous note at the end of [S] Collide for starters. The ending Homestuck got was visually and audibly beautiful, but severely lacking in plot. It was predictable. More than that, we were already told what was going to happen, except for what exactly Alt Calliope did and the effects thereof. Honestly, I'm hoping Andrew is trolling the fandom one last time, and that we get the ending of the scenes (not plot threads, scenes) that were cut off in [S] Act 7, in which things go wrong. Then shenanigans. Then they win. Then the epilogue. As for other webcomics I read: xkcd Stand Still, Stay Silent Underdogs (superhero story) Girl Genius Lucidstuck (horror/survival, worth a try even if you hate Homestuck and its fandom, character actions directed by readers, suggestion thread now on eagle time) A few other comics on the MSPA forums, somemost of which died when the forum did. (replacement here) |

This comic is visually incredible; read it when it was more an adventure than a webcomic. Pretty damn swank all-round. |

2. Next Town Over (the art is beyond amazing; and the characters are very well developed; updates once per week) Wow, you got me hooked on this one. The art starts out gorgeous and just keeps getting better, and the story is mysterious enough that a commenter community has formed that speculates on what every new page reveals -- much like the forums here! Among the others you mentioned, I'm already reading Prague Race and completed Phoenix Requiem a while back and agree that both are excellent. Haven't heard of any of your others, but since you clearly have excellent taste I may give some of them a try. I'm already reading way too many webcomics, though, so no promises... |

Yeah, I agree - I DO have excellent taste. Just kidding, but Next Town Over is really good, I like it a lot. Let me know if/when you start on any of the others and what you think. |

Current:
Bad Machinery/Bobbins.horse/Scarygoround
Prague Race
Daughter of the Lillies
Family Man (Luther Levy)
Alice and the Nightmare
Miamaska
Blindsprings
Girl Genius
Finished Comics:
The Phoenix Requiem
Nimona
Incomplete Comics:
The Fox Sister
I think most of what I read I found in this forum. Considering that Gunnerkrigg is my favourite by far, it's well worth looking at everyone's recommendations here.
Also, I'm sure most people are aware of this show, but in case anyone isn't, I find the Fullmetal Alchemist:Brotherhood anime has a lot of what I love about Gunnerkrigg - alchemy/magic/science, and a good balance of humour, drama, and mystery.
Thanks 133tninja for recommending Daughter of the Lillies and Miamaska recently. I'm really enjoying them.

I just found about a comic called Scurry. It's about a colony of mice trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world. The art is lovely and as far as I can tell it's been updating consistently since it started in January, which is always good. I'd recommend giving it a try! |

Found out recently Kill Six Billion Demons. I see it has already been recommended here, but it deserves all praise and burnt offerings.
And to repeat previous my post in this thread from the last year, here are the Eisner Award nominees in Best Digital/Webcomic category this year:
- Bandette, by Paul Tobin and Colleen Coover (Monkeybrain/comiXology)
- Fresh Romance, edited by Janelle Asselin (Rosy Press/comiXology)
- The Legend of Wonder Woman, by Renae De Liz (DC Digital)
- Lighten Up, by Ronald Wimberly (The Nib), thenib.com/lighten-up-4f7f96ca8a7e#.u45ffr3l1
- These Memories Won’t Last, by Stu Campbell, memories.sutueatsflies.com/
A bit annoying (but not very surprising) that industry award has a number of ComiXology ("You will not be able to purchase on comixology.com with a credit card registered in a country covered by comiXology.eu.") / DC titles on the list, neither that I have not heard of anything on the nominee list. Not even remotely interested 'Fresh Romance', but maybe I'll actually try Bandette this year (it's not like it's expensive, but credit card payment *is* a hassle).
Initial impressions on the two items that actually resemble webcomics (in that they are published freely on the web)
- memories.sutueatsflies.com feels like a novelty gimmick than a good, readable comic.
- actually, same goes for Lighten Up. Is this a comic or a blog (with very confusing JS UX) of semi-politically political drawings?

I think it's appropriate to remind people that Freefall exists and is a wonderful comic. The opportunity? It just published the end of chapter one. What's so special about it? Well, the first page of said chapter was published in 1998, and the strip count is at 2835. With all seriousness, this is a comic I won't get tired of recommending. A great exploration of the role of (individual) AI in human society. |

Indeed. Freefall is a gag-a-day style comic that spent most of its first 18 years (on a pretty reliable MWF schedule) taking a serious look at what it means to be a person, and the difference between a person and a human. Now I want to toss in a slightly different recommendation. It isn't a webcomic. It's a daily (4-6 times a week, depending) email, with an extensive archive (approximately 1,440 past entries). Interesting information selected more or less at random, presented in an interesting manner. The archive is at nowiknow.com/archives/ - if you want to sign up for the email, look around the site a bit. |
