Hi
I saw Lindseys recomendations and thought that I should add my own...
I was suprised to see that my two favourite webcomics where missing from the list:

http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20021104

http://goblins.keenspot.com/d/20050626.html

Both stories are ongoing and are rather long already. they both start out black and white before they turn into colour comics.

I hope you like them and perhaps post your own recomendations here.

/Jaur

http://www.sinfest.net - Starts sorta' meh, later evolves into what I like to call "Calvin & Hobbs: The Later Years" :D. Heck, this even gets acknowledged at one point.

http://www.nerfnow.com/ - Delicious TF2 comics for the most part.

http://www.abominable.cc/ & http://www.diggercomic.com/ for story-content. Both are pretty epix, IMO.

http://www.erfworld.com/book-1-archive/ Erfworld, once part of the Giant in the Playground website. Awesome stuff here.

http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/index2.php - Because I just know someone will recomend this. Also, very good. :)

...

That's it for me, I think.

Can you direct us to the original list?

Some more:

Piled Higher and Deeper http://www.phdcomics.com/ <--- My personal fav...

Dork Tower http://www.dorktower.com/

XKCD http://xkcd.com/

Penny Arcade ;) http://www.penny-arcade.com/

Additionally, Knights of the Dinner Table have some of their hard copy stuff online for free as previews, but whole issues are not free, unfortunately. http://www.kenzerco.com/

Allright, then let's add some of mine... and when I say some I mean some, way too lazy for the actual list^^

http://www.somethingpositive.net/ Black Humor mixed with zynism and sarcasm, some more black humor, hate and nerdery.

http://hellsing.comicgenesis.com/ Hellsing parody comic thingy...

http://www.applegeeks.com/ Pretty funny comic about... apple geeks. Yes the pc.

http://www.crfh.net/ Funny in the beginning, now mostly serious.

http://www.captainsnes.com/ Spritecomic, with an actual story, a good one even.

http://www.darkencomic.com/ Dnd from the villains perspective

http://www.missmab.com/ Funny furry comic.

http://www.dominic-deegan.com/ Well it's cheap entertainment.

http://www.errantstory.com/ Great art funny character interaction and black humor.

http://www.flipsidecomics.com/ Sexy, dramatic story

http://www.leasticoulddo.com/ Umm... nsfw? Very not? well nowhere near sexy losers but still...

http://www.misfile.com/ Genderbender fun... with some fanservice

http://www.mysticrev.com/ MMORPG webcomic

http://well-of-souls.com/outsider/ Ever played master of Orion II? Humanity meets up with one of the races. Sadly the pace of new pages is very very slow.

http://www.questionablecontent.net/ Sexy and funny and classy!!! Well no everything but classy.

http://www.raizap.com/sdamned/index.php Cute comic about heaven and hell.. or something

http://talesfromthevault.com/thunderstruck/index.html Two supernatural sisters... and how they find their fate.

http://shadesofgrey.rydia.net/ Heaven isn't all it's cracked up to be. Of course hell isn't all that much better.

http://www.soulgeek.com/comics/jl/ Lost in space. And parallel worlds

http://www.everydaydecay.com//archive_p ... omicID=121 Zombies!!!

Well that's enough I think.

Kal, I suppose that with the original list you mean lindseys recomendations that I mentioned in the first post?
You don't have to go so far for that. It can be found at http://www.viridiandreams.net/ it is currently the first post after the progress bar....

My personal favourites
http://www.megatokyo.com <-Very good art, nice on going story
http://www.wastedtalent.ca/index.php?view=341 <-the girl who does this is recently graduated with an Engineering degree, the closest I've seen to my own uni experiences. Sweet and funny
http://www.squidi.net/comic/amd/view.ph ... &ep=1&id=1 Yeah, I can't say enough good about this, read it
http://www.awkwardzombie.com/ <-Mostly smash bros stuff. There's so many bad gaming comics out, this isn't one of them :P

Alright then...

MS Paint Adventures.

Linked to TV tropes as it's technically 4 separate comics hosted on one site. The best ones, of course, have their own Trope pages.

Problem Sleuth is a long winding epic about a man trying to escape his office. Forts are built, Cosmic Horrors are killed, and people ascend to Godhood. Also lots of weird puzzle crap.

Homestuck takes itself more seriously than Problem Sleuth, but has still proven to be quite as good. Also happens to be a webcomic with awesome music. Yeah. Involves 4 friends as they struggle to understand the bizarreness of the computer game Beta they all picked up.

And because it really should be listed...

Bob And George, Granddaddy of Sprite Comics. It starts off fairly rough (intended to be a filler for a drawn comic) it proves itself through randomness, a joke-a-day style, and being completely audacious (An Electromagnetic BB Gun that fires them at the speed of LIGHT).

All you'll ever need to read.

Hello,

For those who couldn't find it, here is the link to "Runsamok's Favorite Webcomics" on the Viridian Dreams Blog:

http://www.viridiandreams.net/?p=97

And of course, there are plenty of good webcomics out there that I haven't seen or just don't read often, but are still good. =) Feel free to add your own favorites or comment on the blog entry.

My own recommendations that are not previously on here:

http://www.drmcninja.com It's a website about a doctor who is a ninja--or a ninja who is a doctor. I'm not quite sure. It's exactly as zany as it sounds, and a whole lot of fun.

http://www.undefined.net/1/0/ A very good comic. minimalistic but thought provoking.

Edit: I didn't put this one at first, because I found it hard to believe no one else had posted it. However, it would appear no one has, so here it is, Order of the Stick. A very funny comic based on D&D humor. www.giantitp.com

Blame TV tropes.
I'm going to recommend CharCole, a pokemon webcomic.
Cole, 18, human, accidentally gets turned into a charmander (NEVER TOUCH DADDY'S MACHINES!). While waking up and having a mild panic attack incompetent trainer, Brian, wacks him from behind with a Pokeball. Stuck with PokeSpeak and worried Brian is going to get his pokemon killed Cole reluctantly tags along. Then a 2000 year old psychopathic Mew with a fondness for mind screws takes an interest. Poor Cole.

http://www.samandfuzzy.com: It's about a cab driver and his midget bear partner/tormentor. That's just how it starts though. Character development causes a pretty damn good story to be born. Maintains a good balance between comedy and serious plot development.

Hmm, I'm surprised there wasn't a rec for 8 Bit Theater. It's loosely based on Final Fantasy, and is worth quite a few laughs to anyone familiar with those games or the genre in general. The comic's epilogue was just posted today, ending its run of nearly a decade with over a thousand comics.

http://www.nuklearpower.com/8-bit-theater/

Was there another recommendation thread around here somewhere? I could have sworn I'd posted recs here before...

*searches a bit*

Nope, nothing.

Let's see, then. What else do I have in my favorites...

Evil Inc: http://www.evil-comic.com/
Superhero/villain parodies.

Schlock Mercenary: http://www.schlockmercenary.com/
Crazy space humor.

User Friendly: http://www.userfriendly.org/
Technical Support/Computer Science humor.

Darths & Droids Imagine a world where Star wars never existed, now imagine if a bunch of D&D players played the Star Wars campaign.

Sluggy Freelance definitely deserves a mention.

http://guildedage.net/ - Guilded Age is a heroic fantasy webcomic in which six fairly competent adventurers conveniently meet and form a group to make a living of... well... adventuring.

Code: Select all

www.dungeond.com/

- dungeons and denizens: what life is like for monsters in the dungeon crawl.

Code: Select all

http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/

- Unsounded: Thief-brat Sette Frummagem is on a mission, and she'll lie, cheat, and steal to make sure it's a success (she'll lie, cheat, and steal anyway). Condemned to aid her in her rotten endeavours is a rotten corpse who seems oddly talented with the supernatural, and oddly not laying motionless in the dirt.

http://owmysanity.comicgenesis.com/

Ow, My Sanity - putting the 'love' back in 'Lovecraft'.

A spoof of the Unwanted Harem trope. With Eldritch Abominations as the harem.

http://rfi.comicgenesis.com/d/20081227.html

Roll For Initiative.

incomplete but occasionally amusing web comic based on a D&D campaign I DM'ed. Mind the "skip filler" links, they're very handy.

Sluggy Freelance definitely deserves a mention.

Was wondering if someone would mention that.

This is one that may be a bit meh for most of you, but I've found it quite amusing. Updates are a bit spotty, since the author has a full workload in front of her. An good parody of the Magical Girl Genre in general.

Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuki.

I recently found FreakAngels due to a mention on some other comic's blog.

Warning: rated M

ps238

A webcomic about little kids going to superhero school. Hijinks ensue. Starts off a little slow with just a bunch if gag-a-day strips, but as is usually the case a story starts forming.

"Im going to shit in your dreams!"

This is hilarious.

EDIT: I changed my mind, this is depressing.

EDIT: This is fraking awesome!

Yeah. My opinion of it took that route too. Rare that you find a bunch of superhero like characters with very real faults. It's quite different from anything else I've ever read.

Sadly I have caught up to the current episode.

This comic is awesome, only one I like more is Goblins.

Kait is made of pure WIN and EPIC.

All of Aaron Williams stuff is great. PS238 is actually a print comic, but he's been posting it to the web for free as well. Full Frontal Nerdity is also worth checking out for some good Table top and general geek humor. Can be found at http://www.nodwick.com

Drowtales, a fascinating and large comic, with grey and gey morality .
