Comic Genesis Forums

My personal favorite sprite comic is Fortuna Saga.

It's actually a serious sprite comic, and it pulls it off brilliantly.

It's interesting that a lot of the comics I'm seeing in the lists these days aren't the same old "big 5" or whatever. Webcomics are finally coming into their own with the masses.

I dunno. Do we really qualify as "the masses"?

I mean, almost everyone here is either a webcomic author or a big-time fan. If you posted this question over at the Penny Arcade forums (or, for an even larger variance, the CNN forums or some such), you'd probably get some pretty different answers.

I found a new one and read it all in one night.

Two Kinds

AAAUGH! It's sooooo good!

Yeah, I read through Two Kinds once, but then it went on haitus for a litle while, and I never got back into it.

These are must-reads, if only because the art is positively ORGASMIC.

Only things I'm reading regularly atm is Parallel Dementia, Elf Only Inn, and Distant Screaming.

Shh! I'm trying to make us sound more popular, so lots of pretty girls will want to be our friends!

LOPG already want to be my friends!

In what way?

I'll see what I can do!

Well, I'm one of those web trawlers that read, like, 150 webcomics, so I'm not going to list them all here (if you really care, they're all listed on my website), but I have to pimp a few of the truly awesome ones;

Fainting Spells (linked above somewhere). The prettiest-looking webcomic I've ever seen.

Soccer is Full of Cheese: Outrageously funny, ridiculously well-drawn, and generally a product of so much talent that I can't read it without going greener than a green thing.

Building 12Building 12[/url]: Okay, so it just finished (a fact which moves me almost as close to tears as the end of Mixed Myth did :'( ), it's still one of the funniest comics I've ever read.

Tink

I always thought my assortment was kinda strange. I was reading Keenspot before I know it was all Keenspot. Kinda makes me wonder what took so long to find the forums.

Freefall - First webcomic I ever read. It opened doors to the webcomic world. It also made me read a lot of furry comics
One Over Zero - yes, I'm well aware that it's over. I still go back.
Parallel Dementia - A good find on Comic Genesis
Atavism - Even though I was on dial up I was determined to read this in less than three days.
Elf Only Inn - Strangely enough, negative criticism drew me to see how wonderful a comic it is
Sabrina Online - In another life I might have been a furry.

I'll give honorable mentions to Kevin and Kell, Suburban Jungle, Zortic, Ctrl-Alt-Dlt and General Protection Fault although I haven't read them in awhile. I'll get many stories when I get back to them.

Oh yeah, then there's rKolter's in my sig. I'm trying to get up to date on that one. Then he reminds me of AOD's Fanservice + Meteorology and Action at a Distance. I'm too lazy to add links. I'm stopping before I think of anything else.

In the way that it could have ended after a particular story line - and ended REALLY WELL, too... and.. and then it KEPT GOING.. and I was like "ARHGHH" and stopped reading because it annoyed me

Precious Moments figurines don't count.

who says mean things about me?

See, I just didn't bother to list the big-name comics I read, because if you were to look up 'webcomics', they'd be in the top 20. No point suggesting something easily found, best to point towards the hidden gems.

Especially Straight Head and Fainting Spells. I LOVE both those comics. One for the funny Saskybush humour, the other for being so very, very pretty.

Me.

All the time.

Behind your back.

Should I not be doing that?
