I know you are all a bunch of nerds, so tell me, what webcomics do you fools read? I regularily check 8-bit theatre, Ctrl-Alt-Delete and Looking for Group. Links below. Any other good ones? I used to read Squidii before he stopped it, and I have tried Penny Arcade every once a while but it never grabbed me.

I do have to warn you, these are all the first in the comics that I linked you to. In all cases, but especially ctrl-alt-delete, the drawing gets better, as does the humour and story.

Didn't we have a thread like this not long ago?

I don't read them often, but the only one I've ever gone back to again and again was Jack. It's not appropriate to link here due to violence and some chapters even I won't read. If you take away the morbid bits it's sorta neat how it presents its world and morals though. So in that, I like it, along with the overall storyline.


A comic I found not long ago that's nice is Xkcd. It has a few math or computer jokes and some cute parts too. The storyline is minimal but after a while it builds a couple inside jokes.

Actually, there is no plot to xkcd. It's more of a comic-blog. If you don't mind some more "adult" (as in "mature", not "obscene") themes, Questionable Content is a very good comic.

In addition to the 3 you posted, I also highly recommend Misfile as well as Oh My Gods!

xkcd.com doesn't really count as a webcomic, it's more of an internet phenomena. It's created too many things that are internet staples for us to relegate it to webcomic status, lol.

I read regularly:

xkcd
Questionable Content (pg-13, though you'd probably need to be at least 16 and probably 18 or 19 to really appreciate it)
Cyanide & Happiness (MATURE WARNING)
The Adventures of Dr. McNinja
Fanboys (spelled F@NBOY$ on the website)
The Book of Biff
Jack
Sam & Fuzzy
The Order of the Stick
Least I Could Do
Looking For Group (same guy as LICD)
Qwantz - Dinosaur Comics
Concession
Commissioned
Dominic Deegan
Night Zero

Some I go around to every now and then:

VGCats
Rob & Elliot
Penny Arcade
PVP
awkwardzombie.com

Some I used to read:
Kitty-Bot
Bob & George
Metroid- Third Derivative
Staccato
Sluggy


There's a lot I probably missed here. At any rate, I'm really into web comics and would probably read more if I didn't feel like more than this would simply be time wasting. Woo.

I used to read Misfile until I stopped having time. Is it still good?

It's not bad, but it's not as funny as it used to be. The storyline keeps moving along though.

There's so many on your list though James. Which one is the new one? Dominic Deegan?

If it's that great I'll take a look. :)

I forgot about "Outsider"
http://well-of-souls.com/outsider/

It gets updated once or twice a year with new material... but considering it's the artist's side project, you can't blame him. Besides, the quality of the art and story are worth the wait!

Yep, Dominic Deegan. It's great.

I have two more I remembered that I read regularly! Har. Unfortunately one of them is a friend's who wouldn't appreciate a bunch of people he doesn't really know looking at, so I'll leave it at that, but the other one is by another guy I actually work with. It's called "Night Zero", a post-apocalyptic zombie comic.

http://www.nightzero.com/

It's pretty cool.
