www.yoshsaga.com/latest.phpYOSH! - Set in a world much like ours, until the "weirding", an event that changed the world... Contain animal-people(aka cat-girls), female robots, a nice-but-very-eccentric "mad" scientist, ninjas, magic, and more! www.mysticrev.com/index.phpMystic Revolution - A virtual game that's more than just that. Center around Lourdes, an ex-mod who was recently re-admited after being banned by the action of a mysterious yet evil figure.... Warning: Minimal mature content www.drowtales.com/index.phpStudio Drowtales - A studio featuring many webcomics, some free other not. The archive of the main free-comic is currently in the process of being remade. They all revolve around the Drow Race, their culture, etc. Warning: Mature content can be found on there, be warned. www.khaoskomix.com/Khaos Komix - A group of college student, not quite normal, present us their life. A nifty little comic, in my opinion. Warning: Contain Homosexuality among other things, and while the main comic is devoid of any mature content, some of it IS present in the extras(especially side-comics). www.crfh.net/College roomies from HELL!!! - I haven't read that comic in a small while. It's both surreal and real at the same time, and very hard to define, actually. The art isn't usually extraordinary, but can get quite good at times(at least in my opinion), and is still definitely worth a shot. Warning: Contain some mature contents returntoeden.comicgenesis.com/Return to Eden - When the last Angel alive is mistaken by Satan's son as "lunch", both of them, and the friends they'll make later, find themselves in a situation they couldn't quite expect.... Warning: Contain nice demons :3 Oh, and an implied male/male relationship. I need to go to work, so I'll leave that list as that... for now. There's a couple more comics I can think of that haven't been named here yet, so I'll add them later. ^^

ZAP! PG-13, this is a neat story about an amnesiac psychic(the kind with Jedi-like mental powers, not the kind that read palms) who is chosen by a starship to be its next captain, despite his initial cluelessness and clashes with the crew. As he befriends them, (and falls in love with one), a mysterious figure threatens to overtake the galaxy! That's the only one I've been reading since my last post that hasn't already been mentioned to my memory. I also updated my last post about Shivae Studios if anyone's interested in that.

Jack (I won't link to it): Furry comic, rated M. Contains strong adult language and nudity, as well as graphic violence, gore, and (often violent) adult situations. If you are easily disturbed, or are offended by controversial subjects, do not read this comic. Hopefully that hasn't scared everyone away, so I'll continue. This is easily one of the darkest comics on the net, if not the darkest. The title character, Jack, is the incarnation of the deadly sin Wrath. For his sins in life, Jack is charged with bringing the souls of the dead to judgment. Jack, along with the other six sins, resides in Hell--but Jack is different from the other sins: he actually cares about the souls in Hell, as well as those still living on Earth. As part of his punishment, Jack remembers essentially nothing from his life, though as the comic progresses his memories slowly return to him. Other important characters include Drip (the sin of Lust, the main villain and easily one of the most disturbing characters I've ever seen in any medium), Farrago (an angel, frequently helps Jack as they have a shared interest in saving souls even when neither of their jobs to do so), and Fnar (an adorable child introduced at the beginning of the story: as an innocent, living in Hell has no effect on him). The comic is divided into story arcs, arranged on the archives page. Individual arcs are more or less stand-alone stories, though there are returning characters as well as subplots that progress over multiple arcs. Main characters in one arc often show up as side characters in another arc (which, to be honest, gets rather confusing). Most arcs deal with death or an individual's punishment in Hell. However, despite how grim this story is, most of the arcs end happily. There are a great many heartwarming moments in the comic, to balance out the sheer grimness of it. Redemption is a major theme; so far, most main characters have been given at least a chance at redemption. Arcs that don't end well are often concluded later on in the story. If you haven't already guessed, the story can be pretty preachy at times--though I have to respect the author for poking fun at this aspect of his comic from time to time. The author is a devout Christian, though you might not expect it to begin with. I would say this: if you can read all the way through the first five arcs, you can probably make it through the whole comic. Not to mention, if you finish the fifth arc you'll probably want to keep reading just to see how that particular story concludes. It seems that the author has a hard time keeping a steady art style. Even over the course of a single arc, the art style will steadily shift. It can go from jarringly cute to dark and intense quite quickly. The art style, coupled with the fact that it's usually in black and white, sometimes makes it difficult to understand what's going on. A very good webcomic if you can stomach it, with a fascinating perspective on death, Hell, and--surprisingly--hope and love.

Since my last post, I got several more comics that I frequent, such that, not including Shivae Studios comics, I have over 35 comics I check on regularly. Among my very favorites, though, are these: Derideal; is an amazing sci-fi story about two cat-like genetic experiments who try to escape their prison-like lab and find a place for themselves in the outside world. TopWebComics gives it a PG, but I'd say this one's got violence a little closer to the PG-13 mark. Oh, one more thing about Derideal;, the author isn't a native speaker of English so sometimes, especially in the earliest comics, the English is sort of broken. If you speak Spanish, you're probably better off reading the Spanish version. Stuff of Legend is a great Pokémon fancomic. The art and characters are superb, and the fight sequences are a million times better than the ones in the Pokémon anime. Although I couldn't find a rating for this, I'd venture it's either PG or PG-13. Cat Nine... this is an unusual comic. Basically, without giving away too much, a housecat unexpectedly turns into a catgirl, leading to awkward situations. Rated PG-13, mostly for the aforementioned awkward situations... >_> Catena is a really cool comic about a bunch of anthropomorphic cats that live together in a Manor, not to mention the frequent visits from the dog next door, the two angels, the little girl from the pet store and the grim reaper. Good sense of humor throughout. Rated G. And lastly, Goblins is the kind of comic that's worth the wait of the currently slower-than-weekly update schedule. It's about a tribe of the weakest enemies in any fantasy game, the low-level goblins. Even though it's set in a D&D world, as the characters often remind you, it doesn't require extensive D&D knowledge to enjoy. Rated PG-13 for scenes of intense violence.

gunnerkrigg.com/index2.phpGunnerkrigg Court - My absolute favorite webcomic. Very clean art/style and super interesting. A bit dark, but it makes it all the more interesting.

I like the comics at www.awkwardzombie.com , there aren't alot of them, but they're really funny. They're mostly comics about video games like Super Smash Bros. and Legend of Zelda.

Huh, here's an interesting webcomic I just finished catching up on. Reaper 7It does have strong manga-style violence and some language in it, so you're warned. The story flows like a well-written book, and the characters are very dynamic, diverse, and out-of-the-ordinary. New favorite. Yeah, what he said.

And now for something completely different XD If you need a break from all the edginess/darkness/adult-ness/geekiness of your other favourite webcomics, can I make a recommendation of something completely G-rated and cute? Namely, the adorable Little Dee. Basically, a lost toddler in the woods is taken in by the unlikely combination of a conscientious bear with a sweet tooth, a well-meaning but dim-witted dog, and a cynical, macabre and self-interested vulture (who despite appearances is quite possibly my favourite out of the cast). Gripping stuff it isn't, but it's excellent cheer-up material for bad days.

Rarely do I come across a webcomic with stunning artwork and a decent story to show for it, but here it is: Off-White by Anna Podedworna and Katarzyna Redesiuk: Fairly new comic, having started up in late summer of last year. Basically about a wolf pack, and a pair of human hunters trying to prevent the end of the world or something. Borrows a bit from Norse mythology. The story's yet to be fully established, but if it's just half as good as the art, it may turn out to be one of the better webcomics out there.

Regardless of which ones have been posted already, I'll just list the ones I'm reading right now. Questionable Content. A daily comic about the daily lives of some friends with all their silliness and drama. And there are sentient mini-anthro-computers! ^^ xkcd. A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math an language, as stated before. Bunny. A delightfully random comic starring three bunnies: Pink, Blue and Orange. The understandable comics can always make me laugh. Freakangels. A graphic novel set in post-apocalyptic England, where a group of supernaturals try to make a life for themselves in Whitechapel, which is far less boring than it sounds. It sometimes has some pretty graphic (psychic!) violence, though. Wondermark. An artist scans and edits pictures from old books, with hilarious results. Dresden Codak. A stunning-looking comic written be a transhumanist telling a beautiful story. Updates are scarce, but there is an amazing series already finished. It's loaded with science and philosophical references, but that's not much of an obstacle. It gives opportunity to learn. ;D Lucid TV. A comic about a psycho doctor with some very dark humour, but good humour nevertheless. A bit graphic, even though it's in black-and-white newspaper comic style. Minus. I just started reading this, and I love it. It's about an adorable magic little girl named Minus, who has a vivid imagination and who just likes to do the things little girls do. Hey, would it be a good idea to post examples of the comics? Because I really wanted to show this one, by Minus:

Dead End Streets is one webnovel that I really like. It isn't very long so far, being at only about 103 chapters/pages. Basic premise? What you get when you mix demons with high school and humans. Just a heads up, chapters tend to range from PG-13 to R due to language and some sexuality. The Pheonix Requiem is another one I like. Not very long so far, with about 10 chapters and only 330 or so pages. It's is PG-13, however, for some suggestive language, curins, and violence. Basically a man found halfdead is taken care of and he has supernatural...creatures haunting him whilst the nurse and he try to figure out why. It's a pretty good read all in all.

Reading webcomics is always the best pastime, with obvious choices of 8-Bit Theater, Mega Tokyo, and Ctrl Alt Del. Still, a favorite of mine (and finished) was Fortuna Saga, which was a game sprite comic, though told a very deep story of philosophy and choice. Worth the read (if the website isn't down that is).

Oh, man... I've got about 68 webcomics bookmarked. I don't just read them for the comic, either: I look at all the content on the site to figure out what I think works and what doesn't. (Or, what I'd prefer to do for my own comic once I get the website up.)
Since I'm not going to dig through my folder at the moment, I'll just say that some of the comics I read have already been mentioned: Gunnerkrigg Court, Questionable Content, Minus, Dresden Codak, Sorcery 101, and Pheonix Requiem. But I'd just like to point out something about Sorcery 101: the author/artist of the comic -Kel McDonald- is female.

Oh, man... I've got about 68 webcomics bookmarked. Ditto. Every now and then I'll just randomly scour the web and add two to six webcomics to my list at a time. But that's on the other computer, so I can't update you on my recently discovered favorites. Maybe I'll do that next week sometime...

Been hooked on a comic called Candi as of late, telling the adventures of a college art student, her love life, and the complications she and her friends face. So pretty much every other story, though different. Only thing that's out of reality is a ferret that flies, talks, and fights the evil squirrels.
