Red Light Properties. Where most web comics are just “scanned” paper comics on your computer, Dan Goldman is actually working inside the browser. Making a comic book for the medium. And it’s also quite good. This is the type of book that print publishers _should_ be doing, but aren’t.
Absolutely loving Katie Cook’s Gronk. http://www.gronkcomic.com/ It’s an incredibly charming comic strip that always makes me smile.
Homestuck – Andrew Hussie (http://mspaintadventures.com/)
The Adventures of the 19XX by Russ Manning nominated artist Paul Roman Martinez.
1930s dieselpunk action!
http://www.the19XX.com
I adore Multiplex http://multiplexcomic.com/ by Gordon McAlpin
I’m partial to HERO HAPPY HOUR at http://herohappyhour.com – but than again my opinion may be biased.
I create Method Comix. http://www.methodcomix.com
I read The Devil’s Panties, Multiplex, Girls With Slingshots, SMBC, and Dr. McNinja on a regular basis.
“Webcomics creators — post away!”
Nice! If you insist!
I’m the artist for Little Guardians – http://www.littleguardianscomic.com
All-ages fantasy/adventure comic.
We just launched last Friday.
As for webcomics I read, a few on my mind would be:
Cleopatra in Space by Mike Maihack http://www.cowshell.com/cleopatra/
Cucumber Quest
http://cucumber.gigidigi.com/
Red’s Planet by Eddie Pittman
http://www.redsplanet.com/comic/
Power Nap by Maritza Campos and Bachan
http://www.powernapcomic.com/
All of them impress me with their art especially but they’re all great comics!
-Lee
Here are a couple, off the top of my head (in no particular order)
• Bug
• The K Chronicles
• Hark! A Vagrant
• Let Me Be Frank
• This Modern World
• Museum of Mistakes
• Gabrielle Belle
and if I could plug my own comic,
The Blabbing Baboon: “My Daily Comic Journal”
http://www.theblabbingbaboon.com/
Creator, not reader, here. I’m serializing a webcomic right now called Freedman. http://www.peterquach.com/Comics/Freedman/index.html
It’s the story of a freed slave seeking revenge in the old West. It’s about what freedom really means, the experience of blacks immediately after the Civil War, and there’s guns and shooting at stuff, too. A new page every week. (Except this past week, when I was on vacation…)
I make ActionMan Adam – http://www.actionmanadam.com/
I really enjoy reading Nedroid (http://nedroid.com/). It always makes me laugh.
Shameless plug for Super Siblings a comic for geeks and their kids that you’re sure to enjoy or my name ain’t Patrick Scullin. (but you don’t know my name cause you’re not reading it – but you should.)
http://supersiblingscomics.com
New School Kids. Reminds me of Calvin and Hobbes. http://new-school-kids.com
I totally dig http://www.multiplexcomic.com, and although it hasn’t updated in a year, I still go over the archives at http://www.wetherobots.com/ pretty often.
I totally dig http://www.multiplexcomic.com, and although it hasn’t updated in a year, I still go over the archives at http://www.wetherobots.com/ pretty often. Oh, and http://www.teatimecomics.com/!
My two must-reads are http://www.badmachinery.com by John Allison, and http://www.multiplex.com by Gordon McAlpin.
I read the mentioned Multiplex one.
And http://www.letsbefriendsagain.com/
And anything by Kate Beaton. http://www.harkavagrant.com/
..created “Captain Zap”:
http://then.whatcomix.com/index.php?strip_id=1
And coming up on CerebusTV (http://www.Cerebus.TV) July 8th: my comic “Captain Zap ” will be featured! And me and Dave Sim will be doing a “And Now I ask YOU one” leading up to it starting July 4th here:
http://www.captzap.blogspot.com/
Never heard of “CapZap” you say?
Praised by:
Jessica Abel, Donna Barr, Charles Brownstein, Howard Cruse, Will Eisner, Mary Fleener, Roberta Gregory, Dylan Horrocks, Nabiel Kanan, James Kochalka, Steve Laffler, Batton Lash, Stan Lee, Marcus Lusk, Jean Marc-Lofficier, Gary Spencer Millidge, Jeff Nicholson, Dave Sim, Chris Staros, James Sturm etc
I’m checking out World of Hurt, which started back from the beginning at Komplicated.com!
Multiplex as mentioned above is good,
Dr. McNinja, A Softer World, Looking for Group, Least I could Do, SMBC and Dinosaur Comics round off my regular read list.
There are plenty that I read on a regular basis, including:
Least I Could Do: http://leasticoulddo.com/

The SWEFS: http://www.theswefs.com/
Ménage à 3 (nsfw): http://www.menagea3.net/
I’m looking forward to checking many of these out. Of course, I like my comic with Frank Kane, called The Temp… http://moonlightandmermaids.blogspot.com/2011/04/temp-part-1-read-it-here-for-free.html Thanks for letting me post it.
Shamelessly plugging myself: I write Split Lip (http://www.splitlipcomic.com), a horror anthology where I, in collaboration with artists from all over the world, have published 35 free horror comics–over 500 pages of scares.
Other webcomics I like include A Softer World, Hark! A Vagrant, Destructor, The Hero Business, and others I’m no doubt forgetting.
I write both Matriculated, a slice-of-life college webcomic, and Another Videogame Webcomic over at DigitalPIMPonline.com.
As for what I read… the Devil’s Panties, Girls With Slingshots, The Gutters, Penny Arcade, Glass Urchin… They’re just the ones I keep up with regularly. There are a bunch that I check in on from time to time.
Multiplex and I Fight Crime (blastosaurus.com) are both really good.
The Adventures of Dr. McNinja
American Barbarian
Awesome Hospital
Bucko
Double Fine Action Comics
Fight!
Ghost Bucket
Hark! A Vagrant!
Let’s Be Friends Again
The Loneliest Astronauts

I have a webcomic called Nathan Sorry which serializes a graphic novel that I am working on about a guy who should have been in the WTC on 9/11 but instead has gone on the run:
http://www.richbarrett.com/nathansorry/
As far as webcomics that I enjoy reading, I’ll second the first recommendation for Red Light Properties by Dan Goldman which is a really smart, funny, sophisticated read. More like a good Showtime or HBO show than the standard webcomic. http://redlightproperties.com/
Ben Towle’s Oyster War is one of the most beautifully colored comics out there: http://oysterwar.tumblr.com/
Also enjoy:
Box Brown’s Everything Dies http://www.everythingdiescomic.com/
and
Christian Sager and EC Steiner’s Think of the Children
http://comicsmakekidsevil.com/?p=88
Great idea for a post, Heidi!
Some of my recent favorites include $5 Vampires (http://five-bucks.net/), Destructor (http://www.destructorcomics.com/), and Red’s Planet (http://www.redsplanet.com/comic/).
And, of course, I would be remiss if I neglected to mention SMASH (http://SmashComic.com), the all-ages comic I co-created with my brother.
How much Fiffe can on man pact?

‘The Revolution Will Be Televised’ by Dov Torbin is going strong on Act-i-vate. It’s an eye-witness account of the Egyptian Revolution told with great humor and heart. Torbin is an ANIMAL, yo.

Okay, trying for some comics not listed yet:
Cleopatra in Spaaaace is exactly what you think it is, plus it has a talking cat as the straight man. Excellent all ages work that just completed its second chapter.
Bug, which is similar to a old fashioned newspaper strip but actually funny. The titular bug talks about everything from his job fears to not wanting to be a vampire.
My Cardboard Life is essentially a diorama every day, written with a razor British wit, usually at the expense of a Charlie Brown-like character named Colin. Lots of good visual puns, too.
Those are just 3 off the top of my head!
I create a webcomic called Curls (http://www.curls-studio.com/curls) which updates every Monday and Thursday.
Please check it out and let me know what you think. Thank you.
Hijinksensue (hijinksensue.com)
Girls with Slingshots (girlswithslingshots.com)

Adam Huber’s “Bug”–hilarious!
http://www.bugcomic.com/
I write The Specialists (http://thespecialistscomic.com), so I recommend it, obviously.
But here are a few others that I think are worth your attention:
Tales of a Checkered Man (http://thecheckeredman.com/)
Jackie Rose (http://www.jackierosecomic.com/)
The Abominable Charles Christopher (http://www.abominable.cc/)
I started a webcomic last January called KURSK.
link- http://www.kurskcomics.blogspot.com
On a post-apocalyptic landscape. The world’s most dangerous man is humanity’s last hope.
Great idea for a post, Heidi!
Some of my recent favorites include $5 Vampires (http://five-bucks.net/), Destructor (http://www.destructorcomics.com/), and Red’s Planet (http://www.redsplanet.com/comic/).

Aren’t you sorry you asked? There’s others I’m considering adding to my list, but I thought I’d just hit you with my actives.
I’m the co-creator of Dressed For Success, a former black and white small press comic from the 90’s that took a break and is now back with new stories online. Two friends by chance try and make their way in the universe. Currently they have jobs as couriers and get involved in an Indiana Jones type adventure while making a delivery.

I like Gin and Comics!!
Ah, most of my faves have been mentioned but I don’t see Ellie Connelly, La Machina Bellica, Tiny Kitten Teeth, Para-ten or Shadoweyes out there yet. I double the recommendation on Cucumber Quest, Bucko and anything by Kate Beaton.
I make a webcomic called “Hemlock” which you can find over here: http://hemlock.smackjeeves.com/
The printed version of the first issue was featured by Paul Gravett in his article “Great British Comics Now 2”. That’s my shameless plug for the day!
I’ve been reading and love The Gutters (the-gutters.com), which parodies current comibc book story arcs and general comic book news 3 times a week.

I do one called the Moon Prince:
http://themoonprince.com/
And yes, I draw a comic. Just good ole down home humor…
http://www.lifeon66.com
I try to keep up on (but am bad about) Toby’s comic Kursk, Kate Beaton; Octopus Pie and Bad Machinery, but I’m not regular with those; and anything Harvey James does. I’ve gotten very badly behind on a lot of the good ones though (Sin Titulo, if that’s still a thing), and I’ve been meaning to make time for Bucko for a long time as that’s well-reviewed and I like work from both creators…
Oh, and once in a while Cucumber Quest– that’s a kid thing, I think, but I like to look at the art (http://cucumber.gigidigi.com/) on that one– that one comes on my tumblr (http://gigifritter.tumblr.com/). And I really like SuperMutant Magic Academy (http://mutantmagic.com/) which is another one that comes on my tumblr when it updates– it’s a one-page gag thing. I’d look at more if they came on my tumblr feed, but either they don’t or I’m too dumb to figure out how to work that…
I am a huge fan of Culture Shock (http://drunkduck.com/Culture_Shock/)and a relatively recent one called Uncreation (http://uncreation.comicdish.com/).
I write and draw “Rikonius’ Untitled Webcomic Relaunch” (http://lordhighrikonian.com/comix/default.aspx)

Oh, and Pictures for Sad Children.
I’m one of the three creators of http://thezwergelf.thecomicseries.com so I thought it would be nice to share the link, if anyone might be interested….
I got hooked on this:
http://www.ginandcomics.com/
which I discovered through Facebook. The title made me curious, but the art and story lines keep me waiting for each update!
Fantastic thread — I’ve temporarily eased restrictions on the number of links in a comment so hopefully no more will be caught in the filter.
I am also the co-author of a LoZ parody comic… if anyone is interested, check it out at http://www.artofkoden.com
One should remember to leave anything resembling logic behind while reading this. My co-author and I don’t take it too seriously so neither should our readers!!
Above all, Hijinks Ensue by Joel Watson is my favorite web comic. But from time to time, I also read Multiplex and Girls with Slingshots
I’d heartily recommend Zahra’s Paradise: “Set in the aftermath of Iran’s fraudulent elections of 2009, Zahra’s Paradise is the fictional story of the search for Mehdi, a young protestor who has disappeared in the Islamic Republic’s gulags.”
The writing is informed, emotional, and authentic, and the artwork is simply beautiful.
Print editions in multiple languages will be coming out in September, with First Second doing the English edition.
I’m the creator of the webcomic Doce when nobody’s looking and I’m reading the following:
Ginpu;
The Secret Knots;
XKCD, of course ;) ;
Dinasour Comics and
Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.
There are more, but since I’m not as much of a regular on those, I won’t state them ;)
@technecat: thank you so much for reading Shadoweyes!!! much appreciated. :)
i like serialized kind of webcomics rather than gag strips, which are fine but not usually my cup of tea, so here’s a few that i read that i don’t believe have been mentioned:
Sister Claire by Elena Barbarich: http://www.sisterclaire.com
Meaty Yogurt by Megan Rose Gedris: http://rosalarian.com/meatyyogurt/
Sacred Heart by Liz Suburbia: http://lizsuburbia.corkyberlin.com/
The Meek by Der-shing Helmer: http://www.meekcomic.com/
Sanctuary School by Brian Wimberly: http://www.sanctuary-school.com/comic/
Scandinavia and the World – http://satwcomic.com/
I write and illustrate a comic called Lilith Dark. It’s about a little girl who fights wicked beasties. Love for you to check it out-
http://LilithDark.com
Thanks for this great thread!
Dr. McNinja
Hark! A Vagrant
Nedroid
Subnormality
Chainsawsuit
Bad Machinery
Wondermark
Lead Paint Comics
I started a black and white humor webcomic about a year ago which updates weekly called J.Babb Comics.
As for other webcomics, I’d definitely recommend Sam and Fuzzy, as well as Jamie Smart’s Corporate Skull. Enjoy!
I’m Jackson Ferrell; I create Sketch Comedy.
One of my favorite strips is Kris Straub’s F Chords, about a pair of struggling musicians and the compromises they have to make just to keep their dream alive. It’s unbelievably funny and relatable.
Also, as far as art quality, humor, and general storytelling are concerned, David Willis is absolutely knocking it out of the park with Dumbing of Age. IMHO his best work to date.
This thread is an awesome idea–thanks for opening it up!
I’ve read a few up to whatever point they were at at the time but I only keep up with a few on their updates. Manly Guys doing Manly Things ( http://www.thepunchlineismachismo.com ), Between Failures ( http://www.betweenfailures.com ) and Skin Deep (www.skindeepcomic.com )
Few people self-promoting without even saying what they read? Gross.
Hoo, boy. Here we go.
The Less Than Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal (EK Weaver)
Johnny Wander (Yuko Ota & Ananth Panagariya)
Vattu (Evan Dahm)
The Meek (Der-Shing Helmer)
Templar, Arizona (Spike)
Gunnerkrigg Court (Tom Siddell)
Shadoweyes (Ross Campbell)
Also, Achewood (Chris Onstad), which is currently on hiatus but I paw through those archives every month.
Schlock Mercenary, Shortpacked, Errant Story, Does not play well with others, Looking For Group, Dumbing of Age, MegaTokyo, ErfWorld, Girl Genius, El Goonish Shive, Waspi Square and Olympic Dames (which I write).
Of What Kind? by Adam Szym
Vattu by Evan Dahm
Ectopiary by Hans Rickheit
What Things Do by all the cool kids
FreakAngels by Warren Ellis and Paul Duffield
Sam and Fuzzy by Sam Logan
Dresden Codak by Aaron Diaz
And then there’s my webcomic over at Flim Flam Radio but it’s nowhere near a regular update schedule yet. Sigh.
I’m really into FORMING by Jesse Moynihan:
http://jessemoynihan.com/?p=11
And I draw American Elf (but you know that):
http://www.americanelf.com
No one has yet mentioned Supernatural Law: http://supernaturallaw.com by Batton Lash.
Beware the creatures of the night–They have lawyers!
I write and host a comic called Blaster Nation. We’d love to have more readers and critique, because we’re still kind of in a learning process with the whole thing.

I have an extensive list of over 50 webcomics bookmarked that I attempt to follow on and off. But at the end of the day, these are all the ones I never forget and consider to be worth mentioning. Not in any real order, but the top 3 listed ARE my personal top 3.
I read Dead Winter (http://deadwinter.cc/), which is complex, exciting, and beautifully drawn. I also love Freakangels (freakangels.com), which is now coming to a close.
Let’s see, I read…
Red String
The Dreamland Chronicles
Johnny Wander
Everblue
The Meek
Gunnerkrigg Court
Sheldon
Earthsong
Basic Instructions
Three Panel Soul
Drawn Butter (recipe comics!)
Kiwi Blitz
Lackadaisy
Cucumber Quest
Modus Operandi
Romantically Apocalyptic
The System
Strays
I’ve also read Rice Boy, which is currently finished. And I also read Shrub Monkeys. And I could continue for a while, probably.
Homestuck would have to be my number 1 – hussie plays with the medium incessantly and brilliantly, in addition to having fun characters and dialogues.
Penny Arcade comes in a close second – even though I am not a gamer by any stretch, those two are just so good at writing and humour that I love the comic.
Dr McNinja, another favorite and always very funny along with
xkcd, etc. Mainstream stuff.
Dropping off the radar more, there’s also:
OOTS, Darths and Droids, and Goblins, all functionally DnD comics and all very well done
Awkward Zombie, another gaming comic that I can enjoy because it’s well written and funny faces are drawn with regularity,
Spacetrawler is a scifi comic which is very very good,
vattu, by Evan Dahm is another comic from him taking place on his constructed world of Overside, and is fun and decompressed
amazing super powers has offbeat, unique humour that never fails to elicit a chuckle
gunnerkrigg court is fascinating and intricate, with an expansive myth arc and pervasive mystery. Also fun and funny!
Three Panel Soul, by the people who also created Machall (which was one of my favorites, though I discovered it post-humously), makes interesting a funny haiku out of their comics which are dedicated to one single rule: Only 3 panels.
I fully support covering more webcomics!

The EVERYWHERE Anthology published on ACT-I-VATE written by Chris Miskiewicz and drawn by various artists is a great read. It’s hysterical and scary.
I read way too many to list in a comment, but my two favorites are MegaTokyo and JohnnyWander (http://http://megatokyo.com/ and http://www.johnnywander.com/). The former is has an amazing deep story and great art working together to keep me hooked despite relatively slow update schedule. The later tends to stick towards the humorous end of the scale, but they’ve experimented with a few brief story arcs to tremendous effect.
I would also suggest AppleGeeks (http://applegeeks.com/), but it hasn’t updated in quite sometime, and I understand it was on its way to conclusion anyway. It starts off quirky and fun, but it gets pretty intense story-wise for a while, and there’s one portion of that, “AppleGeeks: Exodus” is one of the most powerful pieces of narrative I’ve ever seen online.
Chris Onstead’s Achewood speaks (spoke?) to me like nothing else. I hope he comes back soon.
My own webcomic: http://www.soulsymphonycomic.com
Awesome comics that I read:
Homestuck http://www.mspaintadventures.com/
Kiwi Blitz http://www.kiwiblitz.com/
Cucumber Quest http://cucumber.gigidigi.com/
Jupiter Palladium http://jupiter-palladium.com/
Johnny Wander http://www.johnnywander.com/
I read
Girls With Slingshots http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/
Yellow Peril
http://ypcomic.com/
Magpie Luck

regularly.
I create West of Bathurst (http://www.westofbathurst.com). It is technically a slice-of-life comic, but it gets weirder as it progresses.
Most of the comics I read have been covered above. However, I’ll also mention Lit Brick, which I recently discovered (http://www.litbrick.com). The creator has taken on the task of covering the entire Norton Anthology of English Literature in a series of four-panel comics. He’s up to the middle of the seventeenth century. I wish him well.
I am Following Nemu*Nemu. http://www.nemu-nemu.com/
Don’t Ask Comic http://www.levikrause.com
(Full disclosure: I’ve contributed some to his Baujahr strip, but I was a fan way before that)

And just recently found D20 Monkey http://www.d20monkey.com
Plus more, random stuff here and there, but these are the most regular.
My comic, nemu*nemu! http://www.nemu-nemu.com
I also read:

Heidi,
Great idea! But over 140 comments in under eight hours shows just how many regular readers of The Beat are webcomics readers and/or creators.
I love the latest stuff you’ve been doing about webcomics in contrast to the DC-NU, but I think this might be a suggestion to add a regular webcomics review to the other features at the site. As more and more cartoonists turn to the web for the freedom of expression they can’t always find in print publishing it seems there’s a pulse here that The Beat shouldn’t only monitor, but shout out about. A very healthy pulse people should know more about.
Thanks,
-R
A couple of my favorites that T haven’t seen here yet are:
Brink http://paperfangs.com/brink/
and
Paranatural http://paranatural.thecomicseries.com/
As for me, I make Root Rot. http://www.rootrotcomics.com/
I will hold myself down to my top 5 favorites:

And actually I just stared drawing my own comic again, Aloof. http://www.oleetkustudios.net/aloof.html
It looks ragtag up to this point, but that’s because I did maybe 30 comics in 6 years. Now I’m looking to get a new page every Tuesday, and a single panel comic every Thursday (Not-Aloof, also on the site).

Yay, I’m at the bottom of the list!
I write and draw a weekly serialized long-form graphic novel called Rose Madder. It’s a sorta-kinda deconstructionist romance comic, for those who like those kinds of things:

http://www.dashshaw.com/bodyworld.html
My favorite comic, online or otherwise, is Phil & Kaja Foglio’s GIRL GENIUS at http://www.girlgeniusonline.com
I also like Jennie Breeden’s strip THE DEVIL’S PANTIES at http://thedevilspanties.com/
I have a small comic known as Maq #041 (http://maq041.com/). It updates every Tuesday and Thursday, and has been running since September of 2004.
As far as what I read:
Dawn of Time
Eerie Cuties
Errant Story
Fried Chicken and Sushi
Gunnerkrigg Court
Looking for Group
Megangea 3
Questionable Content
Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
Sinfest
Spinnerette
The Less then Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal
XKCD
And that’s only a few of them. There’s so many good ones out there!
I too would like to see more webcomic related posts on The Beat.
My webcomic: http://www.wormworldsaga.com
Shameless plug alert:
http://www.GoneZombie.com.
Now I’m going to waste an entire day checking out all these other titles.
I love me some Weapon Brown at http://www.whatisdeepfried.com the comic takes place in the world of the funny papers after the Apocalypse! It starts the once Block head who could never quite kick that football, Chuck, who rides around this miserable desolate place on his motor cycle with his trusty dos sidekick Snoop. It is not for the faint of heart, it is pretty hard core and is not shy about sex, violence, nudity, and killing off some beloved comic strip characters in… unique ways. but if you can look past all that it is a really amazing love letter to old comic strips and a commentary on where they have gone. Did I mention Chuck’s Bionic Arm? Awesome.
Courageous Man Adventures (http://townburgcity.thecomicseries.com/)
Christmas Eve, The First Lady Of Yuletide Cheer (http://coolyulecomics.thecomicseries.com/)
Holy Cow Comics (http://holycowcomics.thecomicseries.com/)
all by me, myself and I… give ’em a try, won’t you..?
Not to be confusing but how many people visit on a regular basis and how many people save up and visit a month or mores worth of strips at a time?
Currently I visit about five strips on a regular basis and the others are all when I get around to it I will dip through the archives.
My list is in no particular order:

There are other comicstrips I will visit like at King Features dot com or gocomics dot com but it’s definitely a seasonal visit as I will usually see them in my local newspaper.
I’m ashamed to admit that I only follow a couple webcomics myself:
“Nathan Sorry” by Rich Barrett:
http://sergiocalvet.blogspot.com/
And “Ed Contradictory” by Ed Conley
http://yourmomsbasement.com/edcontradictory/
I produce a webcomic myself, “SkyJack and the Forty Thieves”
http://sergiocalvet.blogspot.com/
And I’ve drawn a lot of chapters of “Halloween Man”:
http://halloweenman.com/site/index.php?option=com_easygallery&Itemid=27
I have two of notE:
The War for Mars continues! RED ICE is on its end run with Horacio Lalia and Stu Chaifetz at http://www.manofcomics.com.
And my and Horacio’s previous OGN, THEY DO NOT DIE!, is available at Graphicly for less than two-fifty:
http://graphicly.com/cyberosia-publishing/they-do-not-die
It’s all about puberty…Lovecraft-style!
Read Them! Thanks!
I read lots of webcomics.

I make a webcomic about books, called English Majeure. Recent strips include one about Hemingway giving Fitzgerald some junk advice, a weird suicide mission mentioned in Dune, the law practice in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and why you should finish a book before recommending it.
This is a great idea. And here are some great webcomics.
Registered Weapon
http://www.registered-weapon.com
A buddy cop comedy with a robot and a grizzled homicide detective.
Drunk Elephant Comics
http://www.drunkelephantcomics.com/
The tale of an elephant, his friends and a bar.
English Majeure
http://www.englishmajeure.com/
Really good jokes about books.
Awesome Hospital
http://www.awesomehospital.com
The best story with doctors ever.
The only good fantasy by American cartoonists for female readers is online. The publishers ignore us.
Wooden Rose
http://www.woodenrosecomic.com/
A Distant Soil
htt://adistantsoil.com
Fey Winds
http://www.feywinds.com/
Inverloch
http://www.feywinds.com/
Oops, that should be A Distant Soil at http:adistantsoil.com
Well, I author and draw two webcomics. Melvin’s Domination and The Fall: Divinity over at my site: http://www.punkinstudios.com. So obviously I gotta pimp those out there. But also, I enjoy reading the following web based comics.
Gin and Comics, by Ryan Fisher, over at http://www.ginandcomics.com/. It’s a buddy comic but with genuine humor in it.
Life on 66 by Mike Phelps over at http://www.lifeon66.com/
Kimecan by Ferran Daniel at http://www.kimecan.com/eng/
Dynagirl by a duo of talented proportions over at http://www.dynagirlonline.com/
(hilarious)1977 the comic at http://www.1977thecomic.com/
Zorphbert and Fred at http://www.zfcomics.com/
by Dawn Griffin.
Rick the stick by Ken Drab at http://rickthestick.com/
There are just too many. I find them all, usually, from TGTwebcomics. (http://tgtwebcomics.com/) A podcast by Kurt Sasso and he has great creators on all the time and i generally add them to my feed.
As far as an ongoing series I highly recommend
http://www.wintersinlavelle.com
Its a fantasy story thats well written and well paced, meant to be read whole comic books at a time.
Girl Genius http://www.girlgeniusonline.com
My favourites:
The Zombie Hunters by Jenny (Romanchuk) Adams

Dead Winter by S. Dave Shabet
http://www.deadwinter.cc
A Distant Soil by Colleen Doran
http://www.adistantsoil.com
Vampire Phantasm by Sarah Nelson

Richard Marcej’s Daily Comic Journal is great:
http://www.theblabbingbaboon.com/
Mike Norton’s BATTLE PUG
http://battlepug.com/
220 comments. Holy crap sticks!
Most all of my fave webcomics have closed up shop.
Fart Party is gone but Julia Wertz still posts something almost every week. Not really webcomics but still ha ha funny. http://juliawertz.com/
Hark a Vagrant is knee slappin’ funny. But everyone knows that. I kinda don’t think of it as a webcomic though. http://harkavagrant.com/
I still read American Elf every day. Still funny. http://www.americanelf.com
And, while we are on the subject, I just say to all you webcomicsers- if I can’t read your webcomic in my blog reader, then I probably won’t. Make sure the little RSS icon button thing is easy for geriatric old dudes like me to see.
I just discovered Laugh-Out-Loud Cats.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/apelad/
But I went and bought the paper book because I don’t like reading comics on the computer…
http://amzn.to/jde7mw
The amazing neo-noir of OLD CITY BLUES! http://www.oldcityblues.com/
It’s getting a print edition soon, I think…
Oh, I also love…
Nathan Sorry
http://www.richbarrett.com/nathansorry/
Oyster War
http://oysterwar.tumblr.com/
And Patrick Dean’s comics
http://patrickdeancomics.blogspot.com/
But none of those pop in my mind as webcomics. Still, great comics on the web so there you go.
Yuko and I do Johnny Wander over at http://www.johnnywander.com – we do mostly autobio (I think we gave you a copy of Vol. 1?), but occasionally short fiction as well:
Girl with the Skeleton Hand:
http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/100
http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/279
Delilah & The Basilisk:
http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/123
Two Little Maidens:
http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/177
Also, two more great webcomics:
Mansupial
http://krakadoom.com/mansupial/
a comic strip about a mask-wearing fry cook.
Think Weasel
http://thinkweasel.com/
Weasels navigating domestic life.
Awesome post! I’m the artist for Walking on Broken Glass, a supernatural office dramedy about murder. :P We’re sort of half-print and half-web, in that it’s designed page by page with both in mind and we are just starting issue 3 on Sunday. Anyway, come check us out!
http://www.brokenglasscomic.com
Two I enjoy that I didn’t see listed yet —
Extra Life by Scott Johnson http://myextralife.com
NPC by Mary Varn http://npccomic.com
Lots of love for Gutters, Least I Could Do and Gutters! Ed, the colorist for those comics, is also the colorist on my webcomic, Terminals – http://terminalscomic.com/ – would love it if you checked it out :)
I also enjoy:

wow. It’s nice to see this many comments that are positive and not the result of people argueing or being angry or critical about something. yay!
I read webcomics daily but all the ones I follow have been mentioned here at least twice already, so I’ll just mention the two I’m involved with creating. Both are sci-fi continuing-adventure series, updated 5 days weekly:

I wish I could recommend more comics but at over 200 comments, I think all my favorites and buddies are covered.
OH! I used to do a comic at littlegardencomics.com but I killed that site by accident so I guess I’m going to update the next season of Little Garden at letsgoayo.com. Computers, how do they work??

my earlier message didnt make it so, here goes my list again.
ginandcomics.com
zorphbertandfred.com
lifeon66.com
Kimecan.com
dynagirlonline.com
there are a ton more. I get all my comics via my reader and That is based off, in large part, to what I hear via the TGTwebcomics.com podcast.
here are some excerpts from my comics bookmarks folder:
Girl Genius Online Comics! Simply the best in Fantasy/SF/steampunk webcomics, updating twice weekly. http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php
The Dreamland Chronicles this is updating about 3x/week and there are over 1K pages so far of this long-form fantasy story. Top notch story and art! http://www.thedreamlandchronicles.com/
“Narbonic: Director’s Cut” By Shaenon K. Garrity This story of mad science and love is complete, and I thought it was a very fun read. The rerun is updating daily with author’s notes. http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/narbonic_plus/series.php
American Elf James Kochalka, Vermont’s comics laureate. If you are not familiar with his whimsical take on the world, let me know! I have all his books. Is he the American Trondheim? http://www.americanelf.com/
Escape From Terra – by Sandy Sandfort, Scott Bieser, and Lee Oaks Great straight SF series, set in a quirky illogical wild-west anacho-libertarian utopia. Holy Heinlein! http://www.bigheadpress.com/eft.php
Rich’s ComixBlog You are a Dr. Who fan, right? Several complete Dr. Who GNs on this site. http://comics.shipsinker.com/
Rehabilitating Mr. Wiggles Cynical, disgusting fun. Updates Fridays. http://www.mrwiggleslovesyou.com/index.html
Hicksville Comics Dylan Horracks occasionally has updates to the continuation of Pickle/Hicksville, about a world where comics are considered the great art form. Pages have been very slow to come in 2011 and the latest pages are, sadly (IMO) Adults Only.
“Supernatural Law” by Batton Lash currently in reruns, but still a chuckle twice weekly. Also available in print. http://www.webcomicsnation.com/supernaturallaw/slaw/series.php?view=current
The Mad Tea Party at http://www.jonathondalton.com/ is a really good science fiction story.
http://www.xkcd.com/ – Save the best for last. I know, right?
I’m the creative director of a scifi space opera with the best art you’ve ever seen in a webcomic:
CarpeChaos.com
We tell short stories, bouncing around within the same universe. If you’re a fan of scifi, you’ll probably gobble us up. We have over 200 pages posted, go read them now.
I do a Communist Western called Goodbye Chains (http://www.goodbyechains.com). We’re also part of a great collective called Sugarskull:
http://candycalavera.tumblr.com/
It currently features 9 comics, all of them excellent, and many of them all-ages-friendly!
These are some of my favorites:
Shortpacked — http://www.shortpacked.com
Battle Pug — http://www.battlepug.com
HiJINKS Ensue — http://www.hijinksensue.com
Wonderella — http://www.nonadventures.com
I’m the writer, colorist (and sometimes artist) for Cosmic Hellcat Adventures. http://cosmichellcats.com
It’s a manga, sci-fi parody about alien catgirl ninjas in space. The blog also features photos of professional models in cosplay as the characters from the strip.
We’d love to know what other people think of it.
Nice to see a positive and helpful thread. Look, no hate and shouting!
Romantically Apocalyptic: No one ever mentions it, but it’s one of the coolest looking webcomics around.

Note: some of your posts are going into the spam filter but I’m cleaning it out every few hours.
Some of these comics I’ve read and even covered here before, but I definitely have a lot of reading to do, and I think I’m going to enjoy it.
Wow, is this a Beat record for comments? It looks like there is a need for more webcomic coverage!
Kate Beaton is a no-brainer! Hark! A Vagrant is one of the best…
I love Save Apathea by MK Reed and Johathon Hill
Freewheel by Liz Baillie
Vattu/Riceboy/Order of Tales by Evan Dahm
and I’ll cast my shameless plug into the ocean of self-promotion;
Symptom of the Universe at symptomcomics.com is where I write ’em and draws ’em.
Oh, my question was answered before it was posed…

The list is rather out of date, but here’s a list of a number of the comics I read.
http://www.tangents.us/tangents-webcomic-links/
Needless to say, seeing that I review webcomics you can find my opinions on many of them (and some not listed) at tangents.us – though the archives are incomplete at the moment, my apologies.
My favorite webcomics:
-xkcd (http://xkcd.com/)
-Two Lumps (http://twolumps.net/)
-Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal (http://www.smbc-comics.com/)
-Crap I Drew On My Lunch Break (no longer updating) (http://crap.jinwicked.com/)
Is this where we shamelessly plug our webcomic? I got a memo…
In His Likeness – inhislikeness.com
Minimalistic talking dots. Tada.
Oh, and you should read The System. (systemcomic.com) and Hello With Cheese (hellowithcheese.com)
http://www.drewweing.com/journalcomic/
http://lunchnotes.blogspot.com/
This is a massive list! A lot of these I’ve never heard of before. What a great idea for a post!

My recent additions to my web comic routine which I am enthusiastic about are Maq #41 ( http://maq041.com/ ) and Supernormal Step ( http://www.supernormalstep.com/ ).

http://www.super-peers.com is my new weekly webcomic.
When there’s danger, call the Super-Peers…They’re probably to blame. Meet the well-meaning heroes whose ambitions jeopardize all life on earth.
Well… it seems shameless plugs are all the rage here… I’ll get to mine in a minute.
First off, I regularly check out The Gutters and Neko The Kitty… mostly ’cause I recently drew guest strips for them both. I’ll check out pretty much any webcomic though… I’m new to the scene and like to check out what folks are up to.
All right… shameless plug time: I draw Remedy and write/draw Wonder Weenies over at http://remedialcomics.com Remedy is about a Gulf War vet that now fights crime along with his super powered cat named Ash (and is written by Rob Tracy). Wonder Weenies is about a group of fast food workers that gained super powers after exposure to irradiated hot dogs. Remedy updates M-W-F and Wonder Weenies Tu-Th (that’s five comics a week! hoo-boy am I a busy guy) Hope ya check ’em out and keep reading those webcomics… I know I will.
I’ve been reading and MASSIVELY enjoying my own webcomic,OF WHAT KIND? which can be read at http://www.goodshowsir.com
Also: Sailor Twain, Vattu, Plotz the Wanderer, Rigby the Barbarian.
I’m diggin’ two comiics by good friends. If you like slice of life, real life, you love Rich Marcej’s daily journal comic the Blabbing Baboon : http://www.theblabbingbaboon.com/
And if you like D&D type stuff you need to be reading Lineage by Tim Durning and Michael Tagart: http://www.lineagecomic.com/
I read “No Pink Ponies” and Jolly Jack’s “Sequential Art” http://www.collectedcurios.com/
Geez, sorry for the triple posts! I truly didn’t mean to over-self-promote like that.
I literally just now discovered this one (Sacred Heart), and am more thoroughly blown away by it than I have been by anything in a while:
http://lizsuburbia.corkyberlin.com/
I co-create a webcomic called Newton’s Law that readers who are into longform stories might dig:
http://www.webcomicsnation.com/garrettanderson/newtonslaw/series.php
Legostar Galactica http://www.legostargalactica.net/ one of my fav brick comics ever.
Zombie Ranch http://www.zombieranchcomic.com/ Western mets the zombie apocalypse, in a good way.
Blue Milk Special http://www.bluemilkspecial.com/ A great Star Wars parody

As a follower and lover of a good many of the comics mentioned thus far, I have to say I’m shocked to see so few mentions of
Red Light Properties
which is so far past the rest of the pack there’s no point measuring. How the Walking Dead is a mediocre AMC show and RLP is still hiding in webcomic obscurity is beyond me. The pitch is killer, the conceit rich, and the characters so warm and three-dimensional that their decisions sometimes affect my mood. For days. If you’re not reading this comic, you’re missing out on some of the best art online.
Nathan Sorry is also pretty promising.
Every few months, I post my continually evolving list in a blog post on the site of my own webcomic. Here’s the one I posted in May. I’ve added some and taken some off since then, but it’s still a solid list:

Bad Machinery & Octopus Pie are probably my favorites these days, tho normally I don’t like long form.

It’s sort of like CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS, except we’re having FUN with it. We round-robin the art chores, so it varies from say, the Red Death’s excellent art, to Essaybee’s Bruce Timmish-inspired art to my photoreferenced stuff to Xmung’s excellent unique art. If you don’t like the art, just wait. You’ll encounter something you will like…updated usually on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

I have a few others that I check occasionally, but those are the ones I read on a very regular basis. Web comics are what I do while I am eating breakfast in the morning.
I’m the artist and co-writer for Neko the Kitty Comics, as well as the doodle comic Yellow Sticky (which has been on hiatus for a while but will be restarting next monday)
I’ll give a plug for my webcomic, The Orrery: http://www.theorrery.com/wordpress.
I’d love more webcomic coverage, too. There’s a lot out there that can be hard to find.
In case anyone is still reading these comments…I have a comic:
http://www.14nights.com
Also, I like this comic which I don’t think many people have heard of:
http://www.wolfwearswool.com/
Well, I have a webcomic I’ve been doing called Tom Boy Tara, found at http://www.tomboytara.com which is a comic strip about a 19 year old who hasn’t changed into a stereotypical girl in her adulthood and dealing with college life with her total opposite of a roommate and her best friend who is a guy. Fictional but mainly deals with observations seen every day about gender roles and how people think they should act.
I’m partial to:
Eddie Pittman’s Red’s Planet
Steve Ogden’s Moon-Town
Tom Dell’aringa’s Marooned
Mike Maihack’s Cleopatra in Spaaaace
The Bolton brother’s Smash Comic
Dani Jone’s My Sister the Freak
And now for the plug: I work on this one here: http://mightymartianstudios.com
It’s been rebooted and is in the prologue stage at the moment.
Anyway, I’m having fun with it.
Wow, so many! Here’s my very own:

Please let me know what you think. I’m eager for some more feedback. Thanks!
I’m not that much of a internet reader to be honest but your blogs really nice, keep it up! I’ll go ahead and bookmark your site to come back in the future. Cheers
Well, I guess I am a little late with my reply but you should check out the Collective of Heroes if you are into premiere independent superhero webcomics and want to find a whole bunch of them:
