What I've added recently - all of them are pretty new webcomics: PopChromatic about a teenage goth chick trying out for a spot in a bubble-gum band in order to help her twin sister who actually wants in. This just finished chapter 1, don't know yet if either of them get in (but I bet they do, because if they don't then the first chapter was a waste). Black Market Magic new enough that I don't have a clue what it's about yet but it's from the same crew who do Footloose and Cherry! so I expect it to be at least decent. If it's like those two, it'll be a modern-fantasy story, and it fits that description so far. Sire about a descendant of Dr. Jekyll (yes, that Dr. Jekyll) who inherits his most famous attributes and discovers there's a carefully-secreted population of other heirs of famous characters. Audrey's Magic Nine about a young artist rescued from a really bad foster home (her art is implied to be very helpful in getting some criminal convictions) and adopted. My Hero a REALLY new one, we haven't yet met a character I expect to be the #2 major character, nice artwork, probably a swords-and-magic thing. Aces and Spaders a space opera. Tigress Queen about a warrior queen who actually does have a pet tiger, and (so far) the prince of a neighboring kingdom, whose father wants to have marry her. -- also -- Now I know not so new, not a webcomic, a well-written interesting-trivia site. (What, you want my COMPLETE list? There are 93... plus several text stories.)

Have you had that experience where you find a new webcomic, and start reading from the beginning, and you know from the table of contents there are, say, three chapters, and you make it through the 2011 and 2012 parts of the archive with about one chapter to a year, the comic basically going full steam, and you think, "man, the third chapter must be so long to last all the way up to now", and then as you get a little further ahead you realize that the simple reason for the year-chapter discrepancy is simply that after 2012 there's really about four years of hardly no updates at all? Well, I have. And more than once I've jumped into a webcomic going full steam only to find that just a little while later it goes on a break for one or a few months, and then... well, it never quite recovers that steam it seemed to have had. Is it a curse? Or is it simply the way webcomics go? It's time for a completely unsolicited round of Per Sorts (Most Of) His Bookmarked Webcomics Into Categories Based On Update Speeds And The Subjective Experience ThereofGreen category: regular updates (mostly using buffers)Awful Hospital: Has slowed down a little since it started, from what's said to have been almost daily, to a few times per week whenever the creator isn't inordinarily busy, at which times he still updates once or twice a week. Currently this may be the comic that impresses me the most besides GC with its combined range of distinctive art, writing and world building qualities. Camp Weedonwantcha: Has updated reliably twice per week since I found it, and has used guest comics and charming fillers for breaks. Demon: Unusual in that it went from five times a week to seven and never missed an update... but this was because the comic was done in full before it was put online. And now it's been removed. : P But I'm including it in this list anyway. Dinosaur Comics: Over the years has gone from five times a week to four to three, but remains extremely reliable and consistently good. Flaky Pastry: Has updated once a week for ages, only taking a couple of weeks off in over ten years. Even if that means, due to the nature of the comic, arcs can span years, and implied plotlines can be dormant for several years. Gunnerkrigg Court: Updates three times a week since forever. You should check this out etc. xkcd: Updates very regularly three times a week; the only times it fails to do so tend to be when an update is very ambitious (and some are ridiculously ambitious). Although the "what if" feature did go from weekly to pause to one every few months once he had enough of them to put in a book. Yellow category: slowed or irregular updates (no buffers)Cucumber Quest: I'm pretty sure this was three times a week for a long time, but then it slowed, took a break for a few months and never really regained a steady output. This could possibly be related to the comic becoming ever more serious. Now it's more like 2-6 pages in a burst every 2-3 weeks, which isn't exactly slow, but feels slow. Gastrophobia: Was three times a week in ancient times. Shortly after I found it a few years back it went on a break, and there's been several erratic periods and pauses since then. Currently on a near-weekly schedule, but the previous chapter felt like it went on for a year. The Non-adventures of Wonderella: Updated reliably weekly for years, so why yellow category? Because a couple of months ago the creator announced he was dropping the weekly schedule so he could post multi-page comics whenever they were done, and since then he's only updated once, with a single page. Somehow I have a feeling that's indicative of how it's going to be. The Order of the Stick: Was three times a week many years ago, then slowed down as the plotting became more ambitious, and went through a number of pauses and slow stretches. Now about once every 2 weeks, so it goes in the yellow category for effort. After 13 years the comic is nearing what seems like the last couple of arcs, but it will probably take a couple more years at the very least to get through them. Paranatural: Was three times per week, then started being erratic, then dropped to twice per week but has still been pretty erratic at times. Nowadays you can expect one missed comic every 2 or 3 weeks, which isn't horrible or anything, but makes you wonder why more creators don't use buffers so they don't have to constantly apologize. Red category: stalled or very slow updates (buffer, is that a food)Ava's Demon: Once upon a time updated reliably once a week (maybe even twice for a time? I can't remember clearly), then ran a very successful Kickstarter campaign which eventually slowed the comic itself to a crawl. It's only updated a few times this year, and the current scene has been going on for what feels like several years. Needs to pick up the pace if it is to finish. Battle Dog: Updated twice a week until it didn't any more. Since just before I found it (from this thread) the comic page has only been used to plug the artist's other projects, one of which is another webcomic available only to Patreon donors and which, from what I can tell, has failed to keep the intended schedule. Broodhollow: Another comic I was linked to from here. Updated fairly reliably three times a week in 2012-2014, with the odd break, then stopped. Then after a year and a half, started. Then stopped again. Then restarted. Then has been crawling along at about once per month. Definitely needs to pick up the pace if it is to finish. Derelict: The first chapter of about 150 pages took around two years. The second chapter of about 100 pages has been running for the last three years and slowed to a standstill earlier this year. The reason is probably partly because the creator started up a second comic, which is not without merit, but I can't really embrace it if it means Derelict gets put on the back burner and will never finish. Dresden Codak: Currently almost monthly, which is certainly faster than it's been, but it still gets put in the red category, not least because the creator has declared time and again over the years that the update speed will now be much faster because he's done away with issue X or Y, yet it never is. For a while he posted public deadlines, but just pushed them forward a week at a time when he failed to meet them, eventually removing them. Homestuck: As the creator liked to point out, Homestuck had an extremely high output during the years when... it had an extremely high output. Then followed several years of pauses of varying length, with names to indicate just how long people should expect them to last (long). In between the pauses, the comic still tended to be unique and highly enjoyable. And then finally there was the ending. It wasn't what a lot of people had hoped for, and maybe didn't make all the preceding pauses seem entirely proportional. The pauses are enough to earn red category for Homestuck, even though it technically did finish, but the creator has also hinted at an epilogue, which probably no one should hold their breath for. Outsider: Another one of these comics that seem to have updated reliably for a time before you found them, then stopped. After a long gap between I think 2013 and 2015, it surprisingly started updating again, but has only produced close to a dozen pages since, which will not be enough to ever develop and finish the story. I'd give it up for effectively dead, but you know, blue space elf chicks.

Random input: Camp Weedonwantcha: Has updated reliably twice per week since I found it, and has used guest comics and charming fillers for breaks. This comic creator won Penny Arcade's Strip Search (of which Last Halloween's Abby Howard was also a participant), so I wonder if that's a part of it; having the backing of PA's staff has to be helpful (although I'm not sure how much she still gets since it's been a few years). Paranatural: Was three times per week, then started being erratic, then dropped to twice per week but has still been pretty erratic at times. Nowadays you can expect one missed comic every 2 or 3 weeks, which isn't horrible or anything, but makes you wonder why more creators don't use buffers so they don't have to constantly apologize. This one is weird, because I feel like he was in school when the comic was reliably updating (which in my mind means school takes up a lot of time, but maybe he had a more consistant schedule/free time because of student lifestyle). Maybe he's just doing more cons now and stuff. And he has a webcomic artist girlfriend. :3 Really good comic with great art, though. Derelict: The first chapter of about 150 pages took around two years. The second chapter of about 100 pages has been running for the last three years and slowed to a standstill earlier this year. The reason is probably partly because the creator started up a second comic, which is not without merit, but I can't really embrace it if it means Derelict gets put on the back burner and will never finish. Good comic, wish it updated more. I need to re-read his other project again. -- Running a webcomic seems tough. My SO has been considering it for years (has yet to settle on one idea), and I keep warning that it takes lots of hard work and dedication!

It's only updated a few times this year, and the current scene has been going on for what feels like several years. Needs to pick up the pace if it is to finish. Gunnerkirgg Court: Tom indicated that he had his story arcs laid out early on and that is reinforced by foreshadowing in the early chapters. He may not have laid it out by Chapter that early, but it seems clear that he had his majors story arcs and knew how he was going to resolve those arcs. This sets Gunnerkrigg Court apart from web comics that wander around for want of a plot. Or the ones that completed their planned plot and then floundered as the author tried to continue the webcomic. Ava's Demon: To defend Michelle a little, she seems to be creating really complex animated pages that take her three to four months to complete. Shortly after you created this post, she even posted a tweet admitting she she's been working on the latest animated page for a long time. I like her comic (and found it through this thread), but I have to admit that it resides in my Zombie Webcomics folder and I only look at her twitter page maybe once a week rather than looking at the comic's webpage for updates. I also don't know how she is going to sell those animated pages in book form. Goblins: You didn't include Goblins. but I will mention it. For those who don't know, the short explanation is that Goblins went on a hiatus for a while because the author had a mental break down in no small part due to the pressure of meeting a release schedule and the expectations of the fans. Thankfully he is back, though at a much reduced and hopefully healthier update rate. As fans we always want more, but few people can churn out high quality pages multiple times a week for a sustained period.

Most of the webcomics I read, reliably have updates at least once a week. Some of them are scheduled for more but occasionally drop one (out of 2+ per week)... some are routinely later than scheduled but still manage to get the specified number out sometime during the week... Carry On had a newspaper-style comic strip three times a week for years... then the buffer got so big that author-artist Kathy Garrison went to releasing two (and occasionally three) newspaper-style comic strips three times a week. Kathy's husband Scott Kellogg does 21st Century Fox which is currently on a once-a-week schedule. Sometimes the art looks a bit different and you realize that Kathy did that page... and in the forum that covers both (among several others) she occasionally talks about it. Their friend Mark Stanley is the creator of Freefall, another extremely regular three-times-a-week comic. To that list add Curtailed, Faux Pas, Go Get a Roomie (nsfw), Zombie Roomie, Modest Medusa and Selkie. Also Rain when it isn't on hiatus for medical reasons - all of which have been pre-announced (one such hiatus is supposed to be ending soon) and have had various semi-random stuff posted occasionally. Wapsi Square usually has five updates a week. Occasionally six. Rarely only four. Grrl Power is only twice a week, but full page and color with lots of detail in the artwork. All of the above are tagged* for me to read on Mondays... For Tuesdays I want to mention Flipside, Sister Claire, and Questionable Content, as updating quite regularly. I could go through the rest of the week and find a few more - but most are hit on at least one of those two days. * Firefox can do this. A bookmark can have many tags. A tag can be dropped into a folder and mostly acts like a subfolder. So a single bookmark can appear to be in multiple places - you can edit its properties from any of them.

You didn't include Goblins, but I will mention it. I have mixed feelings about this webcomic TBH. The plot is fascinating (which is why I am caught up). But the author takes too much joy - bordering on obsession - in depicting sadistic things happening to his characters. The Bad Webcomics page - although as overdramatic as always - kind of nails it on this one. Gunnerkrigg Court: Updates three times a week since forever. You should check this out etc. Wow, this one sounds good. Can you tell me more about it? Also, elebenty - I saw you (probably) on the Namesake comment board I am trying to convince some of those nice people to immigrate here.

That review pinpointed exactly the things that had been bothering me most about Goblins, much more clearly than I had been able to myself. That helped me decide to delete my bookmark and stop reading it. Thank you!

Story Based comics: I read this, Dresden Codak and I'm currently trying to get into Homestuck.
Other comics: I read xkcd, smbc and penny arcade occasionally - not really on a consistent basis though. I'll remember they exist and read through the couple most recent comics every so often.

Not strictly a webcomic, but I've started reading Tower of God recently. It's a fantastic Korean webcomic - has anyone here heard of it? ...But if you start reading it, don't become too attached to any characters. Death is sudden and vicious in that universe.

What do you mean, it's not strictly a webcomic? I highly recommend ToG too. LINE WEBTOON is a treasure trove of great webcomics, there's enough variety to satisfy eveyone's preferences. Many of the webcomics are translated Korean webcomics, but there are many Western ones as well. I recommend Bastard, Nano List, Dr Frost and Space Boy. I'd also recommend Safely Endangered, Bluechair and Infinite Immortal Bens if you like comedy in the form of one-shot chapters without plot. I also read scanned and translated manga online, so I guess that could be considered 'webcomic form', haha.

Maybe I should write a book about webcomics. I can genuinely say I was around for the early days, as we went from just having newspaper cartoons on the Web (like Dilbert and Foxtrot) and regular comic artists exhibiting their work, to people realising the Web would let them publish their very own comic and build an audience.
Kickstarter and Patreon have completely changed webcomics. Having a way to monetise readership easily seems to have made it easier for webcomics to stay stable and keep updating and for creators to keep working on them instead of becoming a luxury hobby. It used to be that past a certain point, the passion wore off unless you were doing so well you could make the webcomic a full time job from ads and merch and book sales. Regularly updating webcomics used to be damn rare, now most of my regulars are regular!
I still have huge respect for Schlock Mercenary's Howard Tayler who has been updating 7 days a week since 2000. That's dedication. Irregular Webcomic updated 7 days for years and years too...in the case of Irregular Webcomic, Patreon has allowed the author to return after a few years of semi-retirement).

Comics I read that haven't been mentioned here yet, even though they totally deserve to: The Thrilling Adventures Of Lovelace And Babbage - steampunk alternate history adventure about what might've been if Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace had built Babbage's Difference's Engine and used it to fight crime and have adventures. Funny, witty, adorable, educational, ridiculously well-researched and richly footnoted. Also, I am a fan of the drawing style, but that's highly subjective. No Rest For The Wicked - After the moon disappears from the sky, the princess from "The Princess And The Pea" goes searching for it, recruiting Little Red Riding Hood and the shapeshifting were-cat from "The Puss In Boots" to go with her. A "grimdark fairytale"-style comic, actually well-written and compelling, that abruptly stopped updating, which I am still occasionally salty about. Still, worth the read. Wondermark - Clever strips based on vintage graphic materials. Even if not your style, you may still find the Table Of Supernatural Collective Nouns useful. Married To The Sea - Somewhat sillier strips based on graphic materials of various vintage. This one strip was quite viral at the time. Comics that have been mentioned here, but not enough: Penny Blackfeather - Magic/adventure set in Regency England. Silly, funny, with heart and with a detailed, delicate art style I could absolutely eat. Other comics I love (that have already been mentioned here): Trying Human The Property Of Hate Strong Female Protagonist Widdershins A Softer World Girl Genius Wilde Life Oglaf Chester 5000 XKCD SMBC

Recently I've read the Phoenix Requiem and Inverloch, both by the wonderful Sarah Ellerton, whose main draw for me is the fact that they were completed. She is currently working on another comic by the name of Dreamless, which I haven't started yet, but is probably equally wonderful. I've also read Freakangels, basically a post-apocalypse comic about a group of 11 psychics trying to protect a group of people in Whitechapel. NSFW. Finally, Starslip, or Starslip Crisis. This is about a museum on a decommissioned starship. It has art, romance, time travel, war, loss, and aliens. Good read, I'd recommend it.

I actually found it in a bookstore and the cover said it could be read for free online. "what wizardry is this?" I says, and suddenly the internet was worth it. She finished Dreamless years ago and I'm not sure if she is working on anything currently. If you start Dreamless, be prepared to binge because there is no archive. It's not a terribly long story, though.
Here are a few of my recommendations (not sure if they have been mentioned yet):
Daughter of the Lilies, about a sweet, heroic mage who thinks she is a monster (and so does most of the rest of the world) but hides an incredible secret. Updates tues and thurs pretty faithfully, and the author communicates any absences.
Also Never Satisfied about a group of young mages competing to become the city representative. Updates Monday and Friday.
and Supernormal Step about a young woman who gets transported to a parallel world that uses magic (yes I like fantasy, why do you ask?). Kick. Ass. Action scenes!! Updates Monday and Thurs
True-Magic a hilarious comic about a group of peasant friends who try to infiltrate the nobles' city to get them to stop harassing their village. It's a lot funnier than I describe it. Updates kind of irregularly at the moment due to the artist needing to take on better paying work, but still gets out an update every couple of weeks at least.
Snow By Night, a colonial fantasy about a nature spirit, the daughter of winter called Snow-By-Night, searching for her heart. Fantastic world building and a major art bump up kicks in Chapter 9 when Julie Wright come on as artist.
All my recommendations are SFW with the occasional blood (DotL) and naughty language (Supernormal Step) I should be shouting out a bunch more but I could be here all day.

Oh really? Huh, okay. Like I said, hadn't started yet, but it looked incomplete. Yeah, I'll probably make time for that after class tomorrow.

Also, elebenty - I saw you (probably) on the Namesake comment board I am trying to convince some of those nice people to immigrate here. Yes, that was me! I love seeing GC people on Disqus forums. Big ol' herd of webcomic-vores, roaming the wild 'net in search of lush new pastures... gently calling to each other as they find a new archive to binge. *blinks* ahem. Yes! Namesake is very high on my list. The art is delicious, the plot wonderfully woven. Isa and Meg are wonderful in their own right. (Isa is also the Co-CEO of Hiveworks.)

Sire about a descendant of Dr. Jekyll (yes, that Dr. Jekyll) who inherits his most famous attributes and discovers there's a carefully-secreted population of other heirs of famous characters. I just started this one, too. Took me a few to get into it, but now I'm eagerly waiting for each installment. Alexis Royce also draws Evil Plan which has been entertaining. Neither one is too far in, though. Oddly, I found out about Alexis while looking for a Jekyll and Hyde fanfic for another webcomic author (Sabrina Cotugno's The Glass Scientists.)

Let's see... Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures and JACK (the latter is mature rated, just so you know) were some of the first webcomics I'd ever encountered. They were the ones that really made me want to get into comics. Currently I read GC, Dr. McNinja (which is currently set up to end sometime this month), He Is A Good Boy (which is KC Green, so if you know anything about him, you know what you're getting into), The Hopeless Living (which is something I ran across by chance, but I enjoy the art), and [un]Divine which I just like for content reasons. There are a bunch of others I've run across, but I've got to catch up on them and actually get my head around what's going on with them. I'll let you know when I do! Hehe. (Also my comic is in my signature. *cough* But that's not why I'm here.)

It's a fantastic Korean webcomic - has anyone here heard of it? ...But if you start reading it, don't become too attached to any characters. Death is sudden and vicious in that universe. I have mixed feelings about Tower of God to be honest. It has a really interesting premise, but seems to be suffering from the same syndrome that made me lose interest in Naruto and Bleach back when I first was introduced to anime. That is to say, in the case of all three the plot began to feel like it meanders and drags on a little in my opinion, with most focus shifting to just gaining yet another new hidden power to defeat an even more powerful opponent. Not knocking those who like it, it just wasn't able to hold my attention after a while personally. I second the endorsement for the Line Webtoons site/app as they do have some interesting works on their. My personal favorite on that app is probably Snailology-a slice of life comic that updates semi-regularly (although it does go on the occasional hiatus) told from the (exaggerated) perspective of the artist drawing it and their day to day experiences. It doesn't sound like a terribly interesting premise on the surface, but it's definitely got its moments. Two Guys and Guy also has some thoroughly enjoyable strips, as a story about a megalomaniacal (possibly immortal) mad scientist with no understanding of sarcasm, an abusive, sadistic redhead that nonetheless I still often find myself agreeing with and their pet manchild Wayne. Currently looking for another good series to add to the list to fill the recent McNinja shaped hole in my heart.

It's been a long time since I posted my rather-long webcomic list here... so here it is, alphabetical order, with when I check them and a couple other notes. A few of them have frequent-but-irregular update schedules so I check more often than I really need to. Warning: some are labeled "NSFW". That can range from occasional mildly-skimpy clothing to routine full frontal nudity plus blood and gore (usually it's the naked person shedding someone else's blood). I'll also mention that two of the comics are on a single Patreon account, and Patreon's layout is ill-suited to serving ONE webcomic per account - let alone two.

Has no one here read DeadWinter.cc? I feel it has great artistic dynamic scenes here and there, if only the pauses we're not so long.

El Goonish Shive TwoKinds
They're both pretty fun webcomics. TwoKinds admittedly isn't that great, but I've been reading it for years now so I just keep reading. The artwork did improve greatly, but that's really the case for most long-running webcomics out there. It's not exactly the most original webcomic ever. Some elements seem just like random fantasy and others are a bit too reminiscent of Christopher's Paolini's Inheritance Cycle to just be coincidence. In fact, I'm not even sure if I would recommend it.
I do like El Goonish Shive though and I would gladly recommend it. Don't be put off by the frankly horrible artstyle on the first pages. It does get much, much better. The artist has experimented a bit in the past with drawing it in color, but I think the black-and-white aesthetic probably does suit the comic better. The storylines are also always interesting, so it's worth it for that alone.
Still, I'm sure that Gunnerkrigg Court is the best comic I'm currently reading, though.

I for one, consider it its Arcs closed, even if there is a couple skeletons still on the clóset. I mean, it'd Be normal in a zombie world.

I just recently read Wilde Life and loved it! Added to the list of regularly followed comics. I tried reading The Meek, but the whole thing seems kinda disjointed and frankly I had trouble following what has been put up so far... Anyone else attempt to read that one???
