Web Comics

August 5, 2007 by The Chatty DM

While discussing about Webcomics with my friends the other day I got the idea of listing the ones I read regularly and those I have read in the past.

Comics I created (hey, self promotion, it works!)

  • The Life of a Suburban Overlord: My One-panel Photo webcomic about an underachieving Evil Overlord trying to make it through modern life.
  • Chatty’s Out of the Box: My currently suspended attempt at a Photo webcomic based on my D&D minis collection.

Reading now:

  • Girl Genius: Beautifully drawn Techno-Gaslight Action ! My favorite Comic!
  • Gunnerkrigg Court: A techno-fantasy tale set in a very special British boarding school.  Awesome storytelling, mixing Neil Gaiman and Harry Potter tropes with a supercool female character.
  • Order of the Stick: One of the best D&D comics around!
  • Questionable Content: This one is truly a must read! It’s like Friends, only funnier!
  • Goblins: One of the Best D&D themed comics. Funny and intense. The fight scenes take forever but it’s so worth it. Updates have become very slow… probably because Tarol Hunt needs to buy food and stuff.
  • Darth and Droids: A Screen-cap comic in the style of DM of the Ring about Roleplaying through the 6 Star Wars movies.
  • Penny Arcade: A classic. Video Games humour and comments

Reading occasionally:

  • PVP Online: The 1st web comic I read. Very funny, the 1st 100 strips or so. The humor ends up felling recycled by the 20th time Brent get’s mauled by a Panda.
  • 8-bit theater: 8-bit Final Fantasy goodness
  • Evil Inc.: About a supervillain Corporation.
  • Good Ship Chronicles: A reality show based on a spaceship.  Very witty, detailed-oriented humour at it’s best!

Feel free to give your favorite comics in the comments and I’ll add them in this post.

Reader created comics:

  • Cat’s Grace: by Cayzle, Overflowing with geeky D&D references and puns.
  • Orcusville by Steveill the Weevill: Pits our favorite Demon lord of the undead with other wacky characters. I’m not sure I get the humour yet but maybe I will soon.

Reader Submitted Comics:

  • AppleGeeks
  • Megatokyo: The tortured writings of an excellent artist
  • Schlock Mercenary
  • Penny and Aggie
  • Looking for Group
  • Least I Could Do (same author as LFG)
  • Real Life – The Online Comic
  • ExtraLife: Scott Johnson’s Comics, Podcasts, Blog, Artwork, Humor and MORE!
  • xkcd: A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language
  • Orneryboy: by Michael Lalonde
  • The Adventures of Dr. McNinja : Applied Rule of Cool! (read from the beginning)

Other D&D strips to enjoy:

  • Fuzzy Knights
  • Dungeons and Dorks
  • Nodwick
  • Full Frontal Nerdity

    Read all QC in 4 days. It’s a great strip. And worth the frustration. Reminds me of Friends, only raunchier and, like, actually good! (Nah, I’m not that cool, I loved Friends… at least the good seasons)

    Oh believe me, I have many webcomics I’m reading that you could possibly enjoy.

    Dark Legacy is really good. Full of many WoW related jokes. XD
    http://www.darklegacycomics.com/index.html

    Dominic Deegan is one of my absolute favorites right now. I read it daily.
    http://www.dominic-deegan.com/

    Sinfest is also good. I think I may be going to hell for reading some of the strips, though, lol.
    http://www.sinfest.net

    Dungeons and Denizens is interesting. It’s about the random monsters INSIDE the dungeons, lol.
    http://www.dungeond.com/

    There’s a few more I read, but I dunno if they’ll interest you or not, lol. 😛

    Sinfest! I haven’t read that one in ages!

    Thanks Giggles!

    Your post ofc, now i’ll have to read ’em all (or at least check ’em out). 🙂 Lists of your sort is always good if one just seeks MORE of some sort of category and want a real human being to actually have said something about it etc.

    Thanks btw. 🙂
