Web comic love

Web comic love published on No Comments on Web comic love

When people find out you like to read comics they always ask you which ones you like, you know, to compare with their own list.  Webcomics are the same–and, oddly enough seem to have a different cast of fans than regular comics do…maybe it’s generational, dunno.  Anyway, I am really bad at having an answer to such simple questions on the spot, so I am making a list to permanently, at least in this moment right here before I find more, answer it.

Hark, a Vagrant! — is fabulous literary and historical comics by K. Beaton.  Yes, much more than a simple web comic now, I just bought the book and spend pleasant, multitudinous minutes paging through it.

Wondermark — by David Malki reminds me of the intermission animations in Monty Python’s Flying Circus…

Two Keys — “a noir-ish urban fantasy webcomic by Nuu and Schumie” took me a couple looks to get into only because I thought I wasn’t looking for anything with a complex and well constructed story.  I’m totally head over heels for it now and bought the first volume to fuel my covetousness.  Also via Manga Magazine.

Sailor Twain or The Mermaid in the Hudson — beautiful charcoal work and enthralling story.

Strange Investigations — arresting noir-pop bitonal illustrations and promising beginning.

Megan Brennan comics and illustration — isn’t actually one ongoing comic, it’s a collection of comics in various stages of ongoing-ness, or maybe only one is ongoing at a time.  Anyway, really fun and colorful–which pleases my eyeballs.

Spare Keys for Strange Doors — includes something like the paranormal investigators who help the police set up while still being completely fresh and fun.

Plume — is painfully gorgeous, with a nice intriguing beginning and not enough pages!

Scarey Go Round presents Bad Machinery…read Murder She Writes — is a fabulous comic that comes from a fabulous comic with more fabulous comics to come by John Allison.

Two Guys and Guy — is a strip style comic about a group of friends by Rickard Jonasson.  I like the style and I laugh, so it’s good, and even better than that I just found out it has a feed….A FEED!  Now I can really keep track of it!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, that’s all she wrote for right now.  I’m the kind of girl to search and gather until I’m tired and then come back later to examine and sort…so, I’ve got a bunch of things bookmarked that I just haven’t gotten to yet.  I will add to the list later, after I’ve read more.
