One of the panels I attended last weekend at RavenCon was about webcomics. It was moderated by Bryan Prindiville and included Ahlen Moin, Rob Balder, and Eric Kimball. I took some notes:
- Abominable Charles Christopher
- Basic Instructions – funny how-to illustrations, great writing
- Bear Nuts – the Care Bears they didn’t tell you about
- Big Fat Whale – political humor, social commentary
- Bob the Angry Flower
- Commander Kitty – good, but not as good as it used to be
- Digger – civil engineer wombat
- Dresden Codak – artistic, historical-ish
- Freefall – hard science & humor
- Gunner Krigg Court – smart writing, good story
- High Moon – western werewolf
- Irregular Webcomic – four or five storylines, illustrated with Lego minifigs
- Menage a 3
- Octopus Pie
- Phoenix Requiem – artistic, long story arc
- Short Packed
- The Kind You Don’t Bring Home To Mother
- The Non-adventures of Wonderella – Wonder Woman meets Sex in the City
- The System – office humor
- Vexxarr! – space ships & aliens
- Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic – from the monster’s perspective
Thank you thank you thank you!
Good comics are among the world’s finest things, but with the huge number out there it’s getting increasingly difficult to sort through them to find the ones that appeal to me. I’ve added quite a few of the ones you suggested to my RSS reader, and I’m very excited about reading through the archives of my new comic acquisitions 🙂
