There are scores of great webcomics to read from indie cartoonists on these internets. There are also tons of great mini comics on sale from cartoonists at CAFs. But what if you can't get to a CAF or want a more curated portal to help you find good stuff? Zco.mx (pronounced zee·com·ics) is a new site that offers a curated list of cartoonists with selected digital offerings, all available to read for free -- but you are also encouraged to make a donation. Comics are downloadable as CBZ files via torrents or DC. I'm not super crazy about that format, but the reader on the site itself works very smoothly, and I don't have any room on my iPad anyway.
