Below is the beginning of my list of webcomics. They are being sorted into a useful order currently and have incomplete information. Some of these descriptions are just going off a memory from binging them years ago. Sites where one author has multiple cannon comics might just list the main one. Current layout subject to change as it is currently for planning site organization. I don't really like using Tapas/Webtoons and I will try to link dedicated sites as much as possible. I'm interested in hearing your opinion on how the site is laid out and just about anything else. Feel free to contact me about out of date or just plain incorrect information, it's a lot of comics to look after!
Comics denoted with a * symbol make up my shortlist of most recommended comics.
And do everyone a favor; if you see somehting on the internet you like, archive it!
| Top Pick | Comic | Archive Link | Author | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Active | ||||
| Anathema | A | Phillip Bourque & Rebecca Gunter | Bernadette is assigned to take care of a manor believed to be haunted. The rumors are true and it belongs to a vampire. The inhabitants of the manor are not as bad as the rumors. Associating with them does bring about a lot of trouble. Black and white comic style. Georgian setting. | |
| * | Another Day Up North | A | "Task" | Rue the red nosed reindeer, and a north pole transplant, applies for a job as a courier. The story follows her as she tries to fit in with the small town. Good story and charming art. I like how many real life objects are drawn with a full understanding of their complexities. Updates in large batches. |
| Astral Sounds | A | Leigh Jones | Yunni is part of a scientific team dedicated to finding sentient life in the universe. He takes a chance with a new species and discovers it capable of sentient thought. This discovery forces him to face the harsh realities of his and other species' actions and roles in the universe. Fun character design and good use of colors. | |
| * | Avania | A | Tristan Cobb | Avians are engaged in war with the equines. Follows a group assigned to a distant and seemingly irrelevant base. Spies, bureaucracy, women. |
| * | Awaken | A | Koti Saavedra | Piras, the son of a vetran major, develops a magic affinity in a culture that believes it to be dangerous. He now finds himself under a bounty and invovled in a terror plot. |
| Banished | A | Ryan Smith | Rak got into some legal trouble and is now straned on a prison planet. With his new robot friend Timbo, he must find a way to escape the hostile rock. Long form Sunday Funnies-style comic. | |
| Banquet | A | Anne Szabla | Baby Timothy has tragically gone missing and unbeknownst to anyone, has fallen into a portal to hell. Here, he is adopted by one of the families of the ruling court. Political and romantic drama ensues. Kind of superseded Bird Boy (which I liked more) but keeps the same art style for monsters. | |
| Bavalae | A | "Serarel" | Former outlaw Red tries to make amends with his family during a five year drought. | |
| Bethellium | A | "A Blue Deer" | Solitary alchemist Zoana is contacted by representatives of a secret magical city. They offer an immediate position and access to resources for her to move in. She quickly discovers that she was not invited out of charity. Nice clean but detailed art. Medieval magical type story. | |
| Black and Blue | A | Jason Clarke | Gritty comic about the unscrupulous characters in a dystopian society. Constrained color pallete thats a lot of fun to read. | |
| Bloodline | A | Evan Fawcett | Ember is the black sheep of her demon family. She may be able to run from her past, but she certainly cannot hide. Starts out as a clunky teen-written feeling story. Art and dialog begin to clear up at current time. Xepher hosting has expired, moved to Webtoons. | |
| Buni | A | Ryan Pagelow | Cyanide & Happiness meets Happy Tree Friends but less gore. | |
| * | Campbell and Kei: Thrillerknights For Hire | A | "KngKobun" | A goofy duo of bounty hunters on some whacky adventures. Lots of action and a colorful, cutesy art. They drive a clapped out tracker and thats funny. |
| Cashmere Sky | A | Jared Hudson | Arlo and Enzo are growing up in a prosperous post-apocalypse society. A great and dagerous fog pushed all of civilizaion to high elevations. Society has progressed in a Fallout electron-punk kind of way and is ready to attempt to push back the fog-- or at least thats what you're supposed to think. Comic feels forced in the first volume but improves with time and action. | |
| * | Cassiopeia Quinn | A | "Gunwild"/"Psu" | Skilled pirate Cassiopea quickly makes personal enemies with Captain Vrax. Can they realize neither of them are bad people? Art quickly improves and gains color. |
| Castoff | A | Star Prichard | Scaredy cat Vector is thrust into the world and must use the help of an impatient bounty hunter and robot to get home. | |
| Chimeran Legends | A | A. K. | Story follows three children of various descent of the three kingdoms of the world. Story is about parental expectations and finding one's own way. | |
| Cosmic Dash | A | David Davis | Sibling turtles try to run a successful intergalactic shipping company dealing with a world full of pirates, politics, and general bad guys. Good old fashion sci-fi action. Consistent art/writing, slow updates. | |
| Cyantian Chronicles | A | Tiffany Ross | Where do I even begin... Tiffany is one of what I would call prolific-tier producers. She has like 20 stories all cannon with each other (and a whole separate webcomic!). The universe is a huge scale with my favorite themes: action and political drama. It loosely follows Darius' adventures growing up and assuming a role as the leader of the Akelae clan. Her website is always a mess no matter how many updates it receives and it's very difficult to follow one story at a time. Her art style is stagnant too. I do still recommend reading this as its an incredible amount of content and the story writing is good. | |
| Dan And Mab's Furry Adventures | A | Amber Williams | One of the longest running and most influential comics on the list. Its kind of hard to classify but I guess a science experiment where a bunch of characters are thrown into a world and left to their own devices. It is fun to watch the artist progress over the decades. Fantasy themes. | |
| Dark White Comic | A | Lillian Aguilar | Medieval fantasy drama. Demons plot to take over the world. Politics, magic, and a helping of violence. | |
| * | Daughter of the Lilies | A | Meg Syv/Yoko Weaver | With all prejudices removed, Thistle is able to have a normal life in a group of mercenaries. When her friends find out who she really is, can they still respect her? |
| Dead Winter | A | |||
| Ded! | A | "nazauwu" | Vera and Naza are a bounty hunting punk-techo-mage duo. Their adventures don't net them much, but the have eachother. Limited color pallete with very detailed line art. | |
| Deer Me | A | Sheryl Schopfer | Slice of life comic where three roomates try to tolerate eachother's shenanigans. | |
| Draconia Chronicles | A | Danny Valentini | Fantasy story of the dragon and tiger race's eternal war. Follows a group from both sides and their role in the struggle. Big political drama with lots of characters I lost track of a few times. Story and art pick up over time. | |
| * | Dreamkeepers | A | David Lillie | Kids in unfortunate situations growing up in a dangerous world of magic and monsters. I owe this a better description. Consistent art. Prolific tier. |
| Dresden Codak | A | Senna Diaz | Genius cyborg lost her lab to bureaucracy and has to move to the city. She does not escape the bureaucracy. Very distinct dark art-deco style. | |
| Exvulnerum | A | Julia Swan Wroble | A story about a curse that makes you immortal and experience excruciating pain. It can only be passed on to the person you care most about. | |
| The Eye of Ramalach | A | "Avencri" | Ronald just wants a girlfriend but the occupational hazards of working at a museum had other ideas. Good story, very slow to update. | |
| Faux Pas | A | Robert & Margaret Carspecken | A farm full of animal actors is sold to an unknown entity. Hijinx ensue. Charlie Brown/Ren and Stimpy take on "adults" of the world. | |
| Finding Darwin | A | David Black | Kira lost his dog Darwin and has to overcome his stubborn independence and ask for help. Goofy story with simplified color pallete. | |
| Freefall | A | Mark Stanley | One of the OG webcomics. A morally dubious shipping company proprietor, a robot, and a genetically engineered wolf get in decades of hijinx. | |
| Fox and Willow | A | Allison Pang | Willow and her boyfriend are trying to reverse a curse placed on him to turn him into a fox. Water color markers. | |
| Foxy Flavored Cookie | A | Tomas Del Rio | Pucho wakes up in a strange place with no memory of how he got there. Now developing into a new person, he has to come to terms with who he was before. Long form "personality experiment" type comic where loose overarching plots are placed over smaller character interactions. Art and story matures with autor. | |
| * | Generation/Shadow Series 1 2 3 4 | A | Matt "Kitfox Crimson" Cleaver | Over 20 irl years of comics in a universe where the human race became extinct and other animals have risen to fill the intelligence gap. Watch the author mature over several thousand pages. Sadly, his original comic is now hidden beghind paywall after smackjeeves went belly up. Prolific tier, thousands of pages of comics. Starts with novice sketches on printer paper and contiues to this day in full color digital. |
| Godslayer | A | Steven Lloyd | Kiva lives in a ruined post apocalyptic world. He makes a measly living collecting taxes for the local crime boss while keeping his magical powers a secret. He hears rumors of a way out with a machine capable of generating money out of thin air but encounters increasingly more dangerous enemies. | |
| GunGear | A | Catz Koen | Military action, politics, the works. Good for when you need a good action comic to scroll through. | |
| * | Gunnerkrigg Court | A | Tom Siddell | Follows Annie on her stay at Gunnerkrigg Court, a sort of boarding school. It exists as an island of technical feats bordering a lush forest. Annie and her friends begin to unearth the troubled history of the two regions of her world with her as the medium. Art improves over time, prolific tier. |
| Gunwhale | A | "Isomizu" | Duo of ambitious cat and apprehensive mouse catch word of a huge bounty for bringing a dangerous gunwale back from the frontier. Website is kind of annoying to read on. | |
| The Haunted | A | Dio Gatodae | Fio moves into a new apartment but it turns out she has ghost roommates. | |
| Heart of Keol | A | Keii’ii | Eathan is a very large American living in South Korea. In a wild twist of fate he is transported hundreds of years in the past. In this world of magic he meets some unusual characters and is bound by his internal regrets and desires for loyalty no matter the danger. Comic has great use of color and a fun brushstroke style inspired by the time period the story takes place. | |
| Housepets! | A | Rick Griffin | Slice of life comic about house pets. Long running sunday cartoons/calivn and hobbes format transitioning into a full on story-driven comic. | |
| * | The Hunters of Salamanstra | A | John Joseco | Comic about Kessah, who wants to follow in her older sister's footprints and become a professional monster hunter. Details the struggle of living up to expectations, politics, and difficult classmates. Fantasy action with lots of fighting and gore. Easy to understand for black and white art. |
| Ingress Adventuring Company | A | Kay Rossbach | Retired adventurer turned professor, Tovio tries to escape his past and protect the people he loves. Elf-type fantasy. | |
| Joe vs Elan School | A | "Joe Nobody" | Realistic fiction(?) telling of the Elan School cult in rural Maine. | |
| * | Kamikaze | A | Alan Tupper, Carrie Tupper, & Havana Nguyen | In the technological dark ages following the apocalypse Markesha and her blind father are desperately poor and about to be evicted. To make rent on time she uses her talent as a free runner to deliver a mysterious package against her better judgement. The contents of the package change her life forever. Full color, highly professional comic. |
| Knighthood | A | "Chalo"/"Curran" | Hope signs up for knight academy to prove her worth and develop herself as a person. As with all Kemono cafe comics, the character's figures get more gratuitous with time. | |
| Kyoni: Wanderer | A | "Zerothe3rd" | Kyoni goes on an epic quest to understand her dream visions of other people's pasts. Lots of neat weapons both technological and magical. Art cleans up with time. | |
| Lancer: The Knights Of Fernis | A | Tim H Nielsen | Space opera about war between mammals and reptiles following Jake and friends' role (or lack of) in combat. Cast deals with prejudice and powerful weapons. Clean clear art with neat take on sci-fi technology. Updates are infrequent. | |

As it turns out the Military-industrial complex is a little more advanced than anticipated.

| Magefront | A | Shea Britton | Amarantha attends mage school to follow in the huge footprints of her mother. In her efforts to become a prolific mage she becomes wrapped up in the dark secrets of the mage school. The study of necromacy is regarded much differently in this story than most others. Fun costume design. | |
| Maor | A | Allen T. | Maor is forced to grow up fast so he can care for his disabled father. The question if his spirit or body can hold out longer remains to be discovered. Charming art done in the style of a print comic. | |
| Molly-l'Iris | A | "Mai-Col" | A reluctant mage takes on an average apprentice on the hunch of his superior. Restricted color pallete. Slow to update. | |
| Mothorial | A | Ari Borhanian/Isabel Pereira | Coming of age story with clean art. Slow to update. | |
| Newshounds | A | Thomas Dye | In a world where pets are sentient creatures, a project is underway to use their heightened senses to access the "perception edge." This dream world holds immense influence over the waking world and is of great value to less than benevolent parties. Old school cartoony style. | |
| Oren's Forge | A | Teagan Gavet | The world is a violent, bloody place. A brave few dare challenge the natural order and kindle a spark of hope for peaceful coexistence. Full color, action comic with long history of consistent updates. Artist does not shy away from telling a tough plot. | |
| O Sarilho | A | "Shizamura" | Follows an expansive cast of people living in a post-modern world dark age. The supercomputers and space travel old civilizations had access too are now part of a new religion. A recently fallen object from the heavens has provided a unique oppritunity to reconnect with God. Everyone quickly realizes they are playing with powers way over their head. Really impressive art which is a treat to look at. Autor is Portugese and some English translations are not perfect. | |
| The Oswald Chronicles | A | |||
| The Otherknown | A | Lorian Merriman | Neice of the leader of one of the most powerful organizations in the Galaxy accompanies her on a trip to purchase mineral rights on a podunk moon. There, she makes a friend and a promise. Being part of such a powerful family means that even innocent little things have wide reaching concequences. Full color noveau-net* style. (*I just made this up but most comics made in the twenty teens and newer have this same general flat color style.) | |
| Out of Placers | A | Sal Valia(?) | Starts out as one of those weird self-insert transformation comics but shifts focus to the geopolitics of multiple sapient species sharing finite resources and navigating cultural differences. Also everyone is horny. | |
| * | Outsiders | A | Jim Francis | Alexander Jardin is a member of Earth's Scout Corps. His goal is to make communication with the two great gallactic powers and ally humanity with one to prevent annihilation. Space opera with CG backgrounds and hand drawn characters. Slow to update. |
| Pandamonium | A | Tony DiGerolamo | Necromancer and his screw-up friends go around questing in a rude comedy. Simple black and white style. | |
| Parisa | A | Ellen Kramer | Nolan and Gwen make an unexpected friend and begin a quest to bring them home. Started out as an experimental comic in the beginning but quicky finds its stride and plot. | |
| Phantomarine | A | Claire Niebergall | The world is ending. The ocean is full of hungry souls. Family is dead. Now an unlikely cast of characters (including the bad guys!) have to team up and save the world. Really cool character designs. | |
| Project Future + cannon comics | A | "Tapewolf" & Ren Gaulen | Josh is a pilot shot down over the north pole. His life is saved by members of a secret laboratory with one small catch: he is now a cyborg owned by the very people who saved him. It only gets crazier from there. | |
| Project Roar | A | "DiggityDogDingo" | Monica is a reporter set on uncovering the truth around World War Two era German bio-weapon research. She struggles to persuade the few surviving members of the clean-up crew to recount what official records do not. Fun art style with a distinct color palette, improving over time. | |
| Quentyn Quinn, Space Ranger | A | Ralph Hayes Jr. | Quentyn Quinn is a Space Ranger and dipomat. Story follows him though various hijinks trying to help make the universe a better place. Dense pages of old school cutesy full-color art style. Classic intergalactic sci-fi with a good dash of humor. Author lets his politics fall into the story. | |
| * | Random Encounter + cannon comics | A | Rhiannon Perez-Crooks, Merlin Missingham, others | The main story follows several character's paths crossing at Dharks Hero School. Monsters, magic, gods, and drama. Prolific-tier author cranking out good stories. Writing starts out a little rough, but gets going quickly and stays strong. It's even humorous. Huge collection of canon comics on this site with rapid updates. Close ties with Project Future crew. |
| Ray The Fox | A | Chris Scott | Ray is gifted with special powers which he is deterimened to use for good as a vigilante. He is quite clumsy and prone to bad luck which has earned him a far from positive reputation. Print comic book style art where select pages are color improving over time. | |
| The Realm of Kaerwyn | A | "Jakkal" | Impressively broad fantasy universe with a few main plotlines running through including portals, dragon puppet masters, warewolf disease, romance, and escaped princesses. Big mix of time periods and technology that somehow manages to all fit together but is not ___-punk. Art cleans up over time and updates frequently. I don't think the author writes the story solo. I think she takes a lot from a dnd game or something she runs. The plot goes off the rails some in later chapters. | |
| Recursion | A | Rae Bruner | Lieutenant Seren Mosley ends up behind enemy lines during a particularly fateful day of combat. Armed with an experimental weapon, she is thrown into a strange world where she must step up and fulfil her destiny. Lasers, space, and time travel type sci-fi. Low shade count black and white comic with art smoothing out over time. | |

One day he is confronted by a stalker at gunpoint who questions him about his poorly-remembered past. It only gets worse from there as he gets caught up shady secret governemnt business that he needs to keep hidden from friends and family. Black and white print style, that looses the dithering look quickly. The plot can be a little incoherent at times, but is a fun, action-filled read. | |
| * | Rudek and the Bear | A | Peter T. Donahue | Rudek is a Polish fox on Eastern border patrol during the interwar period. The comic explores the social aspect of hastily erected boarders and the lives of those affected. Comic varies in artisistc style because its is a prequel and test area for the main story to be published soon. Peter means business writes a good story. All the art styles are great too but is converging on the common flat coloring style. Comic is not the fastest to update as it is effectively a side project. |
| * | Saffron and Sage | A | Daniel Kelly | Saffron and Sage are an adventuring duo in a fantasy 1800s setting. Reoccuring antagonists are loveable and goofy. Mostly consistent updates with frequent comedy. Artist changes midway through to a more flat style. |
| Sanity Circus | A | |||
| The Selection | A | "AlfaFilly" | The ruling class of Podigus has decided that the best course of action to keep the royal bloodline strong and stay in connection with the spirits is to arrange every marrige in the nation. The story follows a tight group of friends through their experiences with a focus on lowly regarded Kailani and her marrige with the notorious Lord Federico. Starts off pretty rough but quickly develops into an interesting plot with matured writing and art. | |
| Shattered Skies | A | "Astradia" | The four races of the world, Fox, Wolf, Jackal and Cat, have been at odds with each other for longer than living memory. The next generation, soon to inherit the world has an opprituity to break the war cycle. The best laid plans tend to have a habit of blind siding good intentions and lots of trouble lay ahead. Consistend art but I struggle some to tell fox and wolf apart. For Cyantian Chronicle fans who want an easier to use website. | |
| Skin Deep | A | Kory Bing | Prompted by the effects of a discarded pendant, Michelle discovers that her friend group, herself included, possess the ability to harness the power and form of mythological creatures. Michelle is a sphinx, which was long believed to be extinct. This discovery threatens to upset the power balance of the world and put everyone's lives in danger. If you like the Percy Jackson or Gregor the Overlander series you will like this. Art and story starts out amateurish and improves with time. | |
| Slightly Damned | A | "Chu" | Rhea has died and went to the part of hell for slightly damned souls. She ends up getting better and returns to the world of the living with some new friends. Staying dead would have been much less trouble for her as it begins to resurface old problems as big as the world itself. Starts out as highschool slightly-chibi style and transitions to a cleaner flat color style with more mature writing. Slightly prolific-tier haha. | |
| * | Sombulus | A | Christina Major | A long-running high fantasy comic whith Paladin knights trying to hunt down and stop one of the most powerful Demshuls before he can damage another world. A silly, story driven comic that may not be the easiest to summarize. It's a charming story that spans multiple worlds and has interesting races and comedic interactions with the world around. The characters are all goofy in their own way and the art matches while increasing in quality. Well over a thousand pages of world building and character development. |
| * | Soul to Call | A | Katherine "Rommie" Lang | The story begins by meeting Avril who is looking for her father. During "the fall" most of the worlds population died and dangerous magical creatures started picking off the survivors. She even tries to dabble in the occult in a desparate attempt to find him. This leads to her metting a young boy with magic blood and The Order, who police the world and stomp out the occult. Gritty, gorey, prolific-tier. |
| * | Space Pawdyssey | A | Greg Grondin | Space opera primarily following Felix, a star-eyed cadet who wants to leave the monotony of his space station to work a ship and explore. Felix is a brilliant engineer, but quite stunted with social skills. The comic primarily focuses on interpersonal relationships including meeting your heroes and dealing with long-standing prejudice after a brutal war between races. It is still packed with sci-fi action. Full color and regularly updates. The comic gets laughs out of me after finding its stride. |
| SSDD | A | Alan Foreman | Crass, rude, and low brow daily gag strip turned long form plot comic. The main plot follows a gross dumb bully Norman Gates who eventually becomes the most powerful person in the world and causes it to break up into several factions including anarchists and company-states. The comic is crude in art at subject matter and sprinkled with the artists' politics. It starts black and white, turns color and even has a few flash animations (best seen on archive.net). The story and art matures with the author, but never loses is distinct voice and sex obsession. Its a prolific-tier comic that can be a rewarding read for one with a strong stomach. | |
| Star Warriors | A | Scott Fraser | Comic about the purest souls who are responsible for defending the universe and granting wishes. Story flow and art quality progress with time. | |
| Softies | A | Kyle Smeallie | Kay just survived the explosion of earth and was scooped up by what's effectively a galactic garbage man. Kay quickly learns that the rest of intelligent life is not too far from how life was conducted on earth. Kay's light-hearted approach to dealing with existential dread and frustrating circumstances provides lots of opportunity for comedy. Fun pastel art style, slow to update. Enjoyable reading with deep characters. | |
| Starfire Agency | A | Cindy Ramey | A college club for learning about vampires, aliens, and all sorts of other mythical beasts is way too comfortable with what they find. Episodic storytelling, slow to update. | |
| Synthetic Instinct | A | "Meezer" | In a dystopian future, Isa has been legally demoted in social standing. Now she must adjust to the lowest caste and the people who inherit it. Webtoon. | |
| Supercell | A | B M Brice | Daughter of the headmaster of a magic school Kheil has a much harder time fitting in with the rest of the students. She must make right with the other students in her attempt to uncover an evil plot threatening the campus. | |
| Tales from Alderwood | A | Kelly & "bobsplosion" | Story of Kat, an aspiring mage. In the current scene of webcomics, meta-humor is becoming an oversaturated genre, but Tales from Alderwood manages to still be fresh and unique. Black and white comic with exaggerated cartoony expressions. | |
| Tamberlain | A | Caytlin Vilbrandt | A clumsy bat learns about motherhood by adopting a human baby in a world of animals. Comic explores nature vs nurture and child development. Comic has a very mature perspective on emotion and communication. | |
| Taxipsychy | A | Alex Fletcher | Bailey is mailed a box from her old friend Zoe. Inside, is the skull of a bobcat. Besides being morbid, it is posessed by a powerful spirit. The talking skull informs Bailey that her friend is in great danger. Comic was hand inked and markered, transitions to digital emulation. | |
| Theseus | A | Jordan Holt | The-dope-protagonist-who-is-an-incompetent-savant-failing-up-to-the-role-of-legendary-hero anti-troupe-turned-cliche. Still manages to get a laugh out of me sometimes. | |
| Thistil Mistil Kistil | A | Sarah Schanze | Coal is a young boy sent back to the world of the living from the edge of the afterlife after getting wrapped up in a Norse god drama. He now must retrieve precious artifacts to return to Valhalla. Fantasy hero's journey type story. | |
| Tom and Artie | A | Robert Livingston, Mike Stevens, Chunlin Zhao & Micah Myers | Tom the unicorn and Artie the not-quite-disney-mouse are a team of sci-fi bounty hunters. They do their best at their job and fail in the sort of meta-humor way. Full color comic with the author's style blended with original Disney. Each chapter is drawn by a different artist. | |
| Two Kinds | A | Thomas Fischbach | Trace wakes up not remembering anything and now has to learn about his dark past through other people's accounts. Not everyone can give an unbiased insight and some even wish to exploit his new weakness. Trace's new clean slate relations deeply complicate the power struggle that lead to his amnesia. One of the big ones. Very slow to update, but the art is much better now and the story more mature. I don't think its worth all the notoriety it is given, but maybe I need to read it again all in one sitting. | |
| Uberquest | A | Skid & Phuufy | A rag-tag gang of unlikey heros have to work through their own greivances to save the world from evil forces. Mideval fantasy with futuristic tie-ins. Drama, romance, politics. Characters are gratuitously endowed. | |
| Ultrarosa | A | "Sr.Kah" | Ditzy bounty hunter and her competent and under appreciated sidekick go on zany adventures with lots of action. Starts out black and white but becomes full color. | |
| * | Unsounded | A | Ashley Cope | Sette the street urchin and Duane the zombie are an unlikey duo, but one that is extremely effcetive. Through their story we get up and close with the scum of society and cruel rulers. Frequent updates in full color with the occasional animated page. Hard to describe whats going on other than gorey, profane, disgusting, with some crude ideas. Prolific-tier. |
| Vicki Fox | A | Michael Russel | Old school slice of life with long-running plots. Prolific-tier. | |
| Virmir World | A | "Virmir" | Meta-humor story about a hyper intelligent mage and all the magical shenanigans that follow such a person. Goofy black and white comic. Updates infrequently. | |
| Vreakerz | A | S. E. Pennings | Scare and Karmal are down bad without a place to bed. They find an abandonded cathedral in the woods and decide to make it their home. Very slow to update. | |
| Wildlife | A | Pascalle Lepas | Oscar tried to move away from it all but ended up buying a haunted house and befriending a werewolf. He ends up invovled in everyones problems and occasionally even in danger. Native American themes. Art starts out sketchy, but the line art cleans up. | |
| The Whiteboard | A | Doc N | Long-running sunday funnies style comic which moves on to large plot arcs. Starts out as a slice of life ranting of a machinist who is really into paintball on a literal whiteboard. As Doc gets older and plays paintball less, the characters begin to adopt their own personality and get full color. | |
| Wrongspell | A | "AyleenDeer" | Comic about three little witches who accidentaly summon a powerful demon instead of a cake. Recently (as of nov'22) rebooted. I think its not as strong of a start as the original (deleted) pages but we will see as the comic catches up to where it was. | |
| Wychwood | A | Ally "Varethane" Colthoff | Tiara and Julian have attacted some unwanted attention with their unique magical abilities. Its jarring to go from survinging on your own in the post-war rubble to intense scrutiny from the best equiped organiaztion that still exists. Chances of escape look more and more bleak with every passing day. Written after Chirault in the same water color style. Prolific tier. | |
| Xeno Experiments Derideal | A | Andrés Barra | Main story in the universe. Aiden is a sentient cat created out of the genetic experiments of The Consortium. While first and foremost a deadly weapon, the scientists were not able to take out all the human elements of the gene splice. He meets another cat by the name Laura and quickly wishes to protect her from the evil that happens inside the Consortium. Now we must see if nature or nurture will prevail. Author is a Spanish speaker and translation may be a little funky at times. | |
| * | Year in Hereafter | A | Mikael "Miikka" Hankonen | Mikael is an urban college student on internship deep into the countryside. There, he learns the Harmonsuo family protect the area from sickness-carrying spririts within the nearby swampland. He meets these claims with skepticism and finds himself blindly surrounded by danger. Scandanavian folk storytelling. Watercolor art style with beautiful full page action spreads. Art takes a dip cartoonish at the end. Strongly recommended for fans of SSSS. |

She is given an experimental magic revolver more powerful than any other weapon currently in service. Hard on luck, she ends up becoming a bounty hunter and discovers a plot much bigger than run of the mill criminals. Kind of steampunky-western. Distinct black and white art. | |

| * | Code Name: Hunter | A | Darc Sowers | Story about reawakened magic powers and the secret organization responsible for keeping the public safe. Starts out hand drawn, transitions to digital. Reaches a sort of abrupt end, encouraged by hand issues. |
| College Catastrophe | A | Jan | Jan's first comic, about his experiences in college. | |
| Crimson Flag | A | "Virmir" | Medieval fantasy comic about two kingdoms that don't get along. Epic battles, cutesy art, silly writing. | |
| * | Digger | A | Ursula Vernon | A very lost wombat accidentally tunnels into the shrine room of a god. She has much experience with the like and has no interest at all with getting involved. She does, of course and has plenty of emotional turmoil. Black and white comic that is uncommonly easy to read. |
| Earthsong | A | |||
| Fragile | A | Cooper Burgh | A trio of exiles are on the hunt for Garret's son who went missing during a terrible skirmish. They follow leads around the country side and confront their demons both literal and metaphorical. Fluid storytelling with a good handle on natural emotions. | |
| * | Gaia | A | Puri Andini and Oliver Knorzer | A group of friends is about to graduate from the magic academey and enter the world. No one anticipates how much of an impact the class will actually have. A graduation ceremony gone wrong sets the pace for the epic fantasy adventure to come. Consistent, well drawn, and well written. |
| Galacticat | A | Gene Goldstein & Kasey Wiliams | Grumpy taxi driver brushes with fate and learns to find sometheing to care about. Story is broken up by fair and is delivered in a nice, compact black and white style. | |
| Garage Band | A | Jason D | The comic tagline is "puberty is hell" and I think thats about right. | |
| Gemutations: Plague | A | Denise Randall | The comic follows Daniel, an unwilling participant in an illegal genetics experiment, where he attempts to unearth the plot to end human life. Daniel's life was torn apart when his genetics were spliced, giving him shark-like appearance and abilities. Uncovering this plot is made more difficult by the increasing racism born out of ignorance for the Gemues. The art is not the best but the author takes care to explore how a character’s design affects their interaction with the world around them. The story suffers from the currently burnt-out post-covid19 world. | |
| Genocide Man | A | Pat Scaramuzza | Genocide men do just that, inflict genocide in the form of biological weapons. They are the apocolyptic garbage men of the world trying to undo the mistakes of human genome modification. Black and white comic with themes of morality and humanity. | |
| Gun Culture | A | Anthony "Tony" DiGerolamo / Yi Weng | Short comic about a father and his very talented son. Humor for anyone who regularly visits the range. | |
| Icy Copper | A | "Toivoshi" | Copper is growing up in a split world after mother earth's children fought. He lives a really disappointing life compared to his peers, lacking any capacity for transformation power. Due to unwilling circumstances he is unfortunately brought to the site of the split and learns there is more to the world than he knows. Fantasy type comic with neat color design. | |
| * | Kaspall | A | Lucy Lyall | Kaspall has been increasing their reliance on magic. Coincidentally an uptick in "offworlders" discovered around the city has also been noticed. The Captain has been investigated a string of perplexing murders executed by someone extremely careful. Somehow, all three of these have to be related in this grim thriller. Black and white water color, sees more polish with time. Written before Spare Keys. |
| Loose Cannons | A | Ruben Blanco | Gata is a real headache of a detective for her local police force. After being forced into a two week leave, she is contacted by federal agents attempting to stop a reignition of the Cold War. Black and white buddy-cop story. Action and humor.

| Paradigm Shift | A | Dirk I Tiede | Kate is a detective in a classic noir style story. Soon she breaks away from the mold and discovers a supernatural secret about herself. Starts color and transitions to dithered black and white like traditional print comics. | |

Now for the first time in his life he must shoulder real-meaningful responsibility and send them home safe. Hannu learns about maturity, too. Minna is on my list of prolific-tier artists with every comic being a home run. This comic was written before SSSS. |
| Ringtail Cafe | A | I don't actually know. E-mail me. | After a heroic rescue of children from a burning building, Adam is recruited into a secret agency fighting for justice. Spy type story. Art takes a hit after the artist (the one that does poetcat stuff I think) is replaced with someone else. Fight scenes and visually interesting characters. | |
| Scurry | A | Mac Smith | Wix, the best scavenger for his colony, is dissatisfied with the complacency of its leaders. They are facing starvation but are too timid to move to more fertile grounds. It's up to Wix to embark on a dangerous journey to find a more favorable home. Full color. | |
| * | Skin Horse | A | Shaenon Garrity & Jeffery Wells | A cross dresser, a zombie and a sentient dog work for the secretive government agency "Skin Horse." Hard to describe this one... Romance, non-human rights, funky evil geniuses, Jewish helicopters. Takes a little bit to find its stride and get full color, but one that consistently got laughs out of me. |
| Sky Terror Of Weng Hu | A | Kurt Wilcken | Sequel to Cat-Men from Mars. Using her new-found fame from her piece on the Cat-Men, Ginger makes aquaintance with Hannibal Tesla and score an interview. Tesla is in the area investigating a recent museum heist and Ginger proves to be useful in cracking the case. Catching the theives proves to be difficult and more ridiculous hijinks ensue. | |
| * | Stand Still, Stay Silent | A | Minna Sundberg | Scandinavia is the last holdout of all mammal life as we know it after a terrible pandemic wipes out the rest of the known world. The story begins with an unlikely gang of heros overcoming their language barrier to explore the secrets of the old, dead world. One of the best webcomics of all time, but likely tarnished by post-covid living. Great story with fluid dialog, beautiful watercolor art with interesting character design, consistent updates for over a decade. If you can only read one, this is it. Minna is on my list of prolific-tier artists with every comic being a home run. She has recently found God, meaning this is likely to be her last large story arc. |
| * | Snarlbear | A | Natalie Reiss | Lowly supermarket clerk falls into a fantasy world and assumes the role of Snarlbear; brave adventurer for hire. Wild color scheme ghat gives the comic a sublime feel. |
| Soul's Journey | A | Sophie P. F. | A soon to be married prince is trapped in the body of a wolf by an evil spirit. | |
| Strays | A | Samantha Whitten & Stacey Pefferkorn | Meela is recently orphaned and not doing well on her own. By chance she meets Feral, a mute bounty hunter. Through pure persistence, she manages to tag along on his dangerous missions. Low res, full color comic. | |

| Take Off! | A | Meaghan Carter | Cass has a pretty rough life and quickly takes the oppritunity to escape to a magical world of racing dragons. Story about companionship, greiving, and facing one's flaws. Charming story on the shorter side. | |
| Tall Tails | A | |||
| *** | T. H. E. Fox | A | Joe Ekaitis | This is where webcomics started. This is the earliest surviving webcomic. Everything on this site owes origin to this. |
| Transmission | A | Mark Smith | Slice of life comic of two gearhead brothers that evolves into long-running plot. Sunday funnies format without much change. | |
| Untitled! | A | Gloria Pike | Slice of life comic of a group of young adults (punks) trying to figure themselves out. The comic develops short plots spanning several months. Covers serious topics including relationships, self harm, self discovery and inter-dimensional invisible people. Hand drawn on pencil and paper with occasional full color pages. | |
| Urgent Transformation Crisis | A | Jim Whaley | During a capstone presentation for talented young genetics researchers, foul play results in many participant's DNA being spliced with animals. Now the main characters must learn new things about themselves and friends while trying to return to normal. Long running comic with improvement to art style with time. | |

| Hiatus Read with caution! There is no guarantee your favorite story will be finished. | ||||
| A Distant Sky | A | Felix Dyson | I read this while sick but I think a group of people from different timelines are engaged in a high-tech war against imperialist mecha-humans. Art style took a big hit early on and never really recovered. Artist is a big Streetlight fan. | |
| ** | Albedo Anthropomorphics/Erma Felna Of The EDF | A | Steve Gallacci | Erma is an unlikely female member in the Extraplanetary Defense Force. The story follows her recounting how she rose to great renown in a time where she was engaged in war with rabbit supremacist forces. What do you even say for such an influential print comic? Violence, politics, sci-fi with developed mechanics... all the goods. (Usually poor) color scans of surviving covers and black and white pages. Sadly, with the passing of Steve's wife he stopped updating the comic without much hope of continuation. Extremely influential print comic that inspired much of the old guard webcomics. |
| Apollo 9 | A | Laura Blacksin | Captain PJ is leading a team of misfit crew across the galaxy to complete an opinion survey of the government. Old school comic. Sporatic color. Author went through a lot of hardship and has now married and taken up farming. | |
| Argonian Adventures | A | "Task" | Loosely based in the Elder Scrolls universe. Lizard and cat go on comedic adventure skits. Same quality and story as expected from "Task." | |
| Beatriz Overseer | A | |||
| Barkham Horror | A | |||
| * | Bird Boy | A | Anne Szabla | Bali is a runt child determined to earn his keep with his village. His desire to prove himself leads him on a fantastical journey with real danger. Very polished flat art with unique style and characters. |

| Commander Kitty | A | Scotty Arsenault | Sleazy spacer has a transporter of dubious quality and now has to impress his rival with it. Goofy sci-fi comic. | |
| Creators Keepers Of Mana | A | Alex Whitby | Adrian, unaware of his true parents and his role in the lineage, joins an Academy for special agents who deal with the magical sort of issues. | |
| * | Cucumber Quest | A | "Gigi" | |
| Culture Shock | A | |||
| Damsels Don't Wear Glasses | A | J Alice Bown | The comic starts out as a kind of lame "girls can kick ass too" comic but the characters quickly gain depth and motivation. Lave is on the surface an irresponsible keeper of the world relying on wit and a little bit of dumb luck. When she is tasked with being the legal guardian of Jake, she must deal with her insecurities and shortcomings or risk harm to the people she cares about. Moderately detailed flat-color art style that is not consistent with fine details. A decade of consisten work. Soon to be demoted to "changed format." | |

| Dreamrise | A | |||

| Follower | A | "Bugbyte" & "Delade" | Secret government project to turn animals into supersoldiers. People begin to question the morality of treating sentient creatures like machines. | |
| The Foxfire Chronicles | A | Michael Donelly | A group of strangers are abducted and used for genetic experimentation to create supersoldiers. Distinctly early '00s art style and the story is a little cheesy, but I'm a sucker for militaria. | |
| Gemini Bright | A | Laura Blacksin | Matt Donahue is a grumpy, underaged, teen dragged along on a family vacation to Las Vegas. His bad behavior results in him solving a puzzle that transports him to a fantasy dimension where he quickly finds himself wrapped up in a plot much larger than him. Old school comic. Sporatic color. Author went through a lot of hardship and has now married and taken up farming. | |
| Glaria | A | |||
| God's Pack | A | |||
| Guardia: The Tales of Halgeis | A | Aaron Savage | Following in her older brother's footsteps, Yggdra joins the academy to become a Guardian and defend the world against evil. She has a lot to live up to and accept the harsh reality of the profession. | |
| Havoc Inc. | A | Mark Banard & Terrie Smith | Old school sci-fi romance. Chester is a vain ringtail causing lots of trouble and Chris is level-headed wolf that ends up cleaning the mess. Black and white with color cover pages. Nine standalone issues exist. | |
| Hellkats | A | Cindy Ramey | Angels, demons, soul selling, and escaping hell. All while the cast is in their best goth dress. Draven has to deal with a trouble past which literally manifests itself in the worst way possible. | |
| Honey Crab | A | |||
| Isla Aukate | A | "Foxena" | Silver, Darius, and his pegasus daughter Rain are members of a genetics research lab of questionable morals. Their defecting to save each other's lives creates powerful enemies. Fantasy sci-fi comic with art already starting out good and in full color. Comic is actively being written, but the drawn portion is lagging by years. Seems the art was by Genesis Whitmore, who had retired due to injury and burnout. Story can be abrupt at times and focuses a little too heavy on the "pushing the limits of endurance for the people that matter" troupe in the first few chapters. | |
| Jack Legend | A | "Joseph O. Possum" | Jack comes from a long line of legends. Unfortunately, he has yet to live up to expectations. | |
| Kipo | A | |||

| * | Off-White | A | ||
| * | Opportunities In Space | A | Katie & Sincerely Degelder | Christmas fanatic and human rights fighter "Jack Frost" plans to send a message to the men in charge who line their pockets at the expense of his citizens. Space technology and aliens included. Fun story, fun characters, shame it will never be finished. |
| Prequel or Making a Cat Cry: The Adventure | A | "Kazerad" | Homestuck but its medieval fantasy and the main character is Katia the cat. Comic is full color, half .gif, and slow to update. | |
| * | Prophecy of the Circle | A | Will return, prelude chapter done taking break before beginning actual story... | |
| Questors & Quarryors | A | |||
| Romantically Apocalyptic | A | Vitaly S Alexius | Life in the nuclear post-apocalypse is strange and unfamiliar. Our protagonist, Snippy, narrates us through his adventures as "the last sane person on earth." Mixed media webcomic consisting of digitally modified photography. Full of period internet weirdcore humor. | |
| Sell Spell | A | Erin Powers | A freelance mage of questionable morales desperate for money stows away on a wagon chasing a lost treasure. He gets more than he bargained for. Fantasy type comic just short of dragons (so far). | |
| Shadowbinders | A | |||
| Shadow's Daughter | A | Morgan Quaid | In a post-apocalyptic world where fantasy book monsters are real our hero, a shadowmancer, works as a bounty hunter keeping the remaining civilians safe. Strong noir crime motifs. Comic starts out in awkard baby's first manga book but transitions into a more matured western style. Comic reads really poorly due to an attempt to optimise it for portrait mode cell phones. | |
| Snow By Night | A | |||
| Spare Keys For Strange Doors | A | Lucy Lyall | Marion and Toby are a supernatural solutions couple. We get to tag along on their consulting adventures solving these "problems" that normal people have. Written after Kaspall and in full color. | |

| * | Terinu | A | Peta Hewitt | Terinu is a rare and powerful species of alien who has found himself the focus of attention from various malevolent parties. He and his new companions try to find peace in a galaxy on the verge of war. Oldschool sci-fi comic. Black and white hand inked. Some time in the early teens, updates just stopped occuring. I don't recall the exact reasoning now, but it seems she grew tired with the story. Even her YouTube is now long abandoned. |
| Terrafold | A | |||
| Thunderpaw | A | |||
| Triptrack | A | "wulvert" | Tex puts up no resistance when a strange bounty hunter comes to kidnap him. The cast and the scenery gets no less strange with every page. Fun comic with a colorful look and just the right amount of humor for the quality of the story being told. Comic has very annoying formatting with lots of whitespace due to webtoons. | |
