So as you may or may not know, there are these nifty little things called webcomics. If you for some reason haven't heard of them, they are exactly what they sound like; comics on the internet. I'm interested to see if anyone here was interested in them and if so, which they read. We'll do this like a masterlist; everyone just make one post and keep it updated, but you can makes new posts in this thread if you update your master post with something like "Added comic X." So without further ado, let's do this.

Fantasy Webcomics:

Awkward Zombie
http://www.awkwardzombie.com/
This one kind of follows a typical "What if video game logic were real" gag strip format. It's a pretty funny read.

Grrl Power
http://grrlpowercomic.com/
This one takes a look at a more realistic(ish) look at a "what if superheroes were real" scenario.

Let's Speak English
http://www.marycagle.com/
Daily happenings of an ESL teacher in Japan. It's funny and cute.

Night Physics
http://nightphysics.tumblr.com/
It's got the feel of "I'm 20 looking back on my life" story-wise, but I'll be darned if it isn't pretty.
(Strips are too long to post one)



SD
http://www.sdamned.com/
I wasn't gonna put this one on, but it is the comic that got me into webcomics in the first place, plus what got me into forums so it indirectly got me to come back here.

Skin Deep
http://www.skindeepcomic.com/
Interesting characters, interesting setting, incorporates lore, etc. and it doesn't look too bad either
(This one doesn't really have a good strip to highlight)



Meadowhawk
http://meadowhawk.net/
I've always been a sucker for those "what if this world is exactly like the real one except [INSERT SUPERNATURAL THING HERE]" settings, and this is exactly what it is. It's been inactive for a little while but the author stated it will continue. Probably. You know how things can be sometimes

Monster Pulse
http://www.monster-pulse.com/comic/page-1-chapter-1
Basically a deconstruction of the "kids get super powers" plot. It's very dark, but there's not really any blood, and it's gotten better in the later chapters
(No preview, too big)



Bittersweet Candy Bowl
http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c47.9/p1.html
Lots and lots of drama. I've heard it been described as the ultimate will-they-or-wont-they, and I can confirm this. If you can't get enough drama, this one's for you.



Fine Sometimes Rain
http://www.genkigirl.com/finesometimesrain/?comic=fine-sometimes-rain-chapter-01-cover
Comic about a girl dealing with depression. Good art, character motivations are at least somewhat solid, and it can be funny sometimes too.



Happle Tea
http://www.happletea.com/comic/fallacies/
If you're not okay with your religion being joked about, this one's not for you. For everyone else, it's a pretty funny comic poking fun at the inconsistencies and funny moments in religions



Housepets
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2008/06/02/when-boredom-strikes/
Humor's not for everyone, artstyle is especially not for everyone, but if you can look past that, you'll find a pretty good humor comic with an actually decent story.



Phoebe and her Unicorn
http://www.gocomics.com/phoebe-and-her-unicorn/2012/04/22
Don't let the characters put you off, this could easily be the next Calvin and Hobbes, or if not, come close. Humor is pretty okay, and the characters play off of each other well.



Precocious
http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2009/03/09
Very long running comic, and extracts most of it's humor by making it's child characters super jaded and cunning. If you're not into that, this isn't your comic.



Savestate
http://www.savestatecomic.com/2014/02/pokemon-bank/
There's not much I can say about this one. All I can say is that if you like Gamercat, you'll like this. There's also something resembling a story in there somewhere. Maybe.



The Bright Side
http://www.thebrightsidecomic.com/beginning-p1/
Interesting story, unique art style that I actually like a lot, this one is worth checking out even if only for a little.



The Wilde Life
http://www.wildelifecomic.com/comic/1
So take every supernatural trope; werewolves, ghosts, etc. and put them all into one little town in the middle of nowhere, and you have Wilde Life. Art is amazing as well.



Zoophobia
http://zoophobiacomic.com/post/127351123949
A teacher is transferred to a new school where pretty much all the supernatural creatures of myth are real. The only problem? She's terrified of anything nonhuman, which almost all of them are. Thus follows the adventures of Cameron as she tries to (hopefully) get settled into her new job of a guidance counselor before ironically going insane



Nuzlocke Comics
(Note: No strip previews because they're all too long for that)

Fiasco
http://nekiwii.deviantart.com/art/Fiasco-Cover-450277642?q=gallery%3ANekiwii%2F49210558&qo=0
Art starts out rough but improves rapidly. Humor is spot on, great art, etc.

Myths of Unova
http://ky-nim.deviantart.com/art/Nuzlocke-White-Cover-199204739
It's had significantly longer to improve than Fiasco, and the story is pretty good. It does incorporate some elements from the artist's nigh-unreadable previous comic, Tales of Sinnoh, though not so much that you'll be completely lost if you don't read it

Of All Things
http://yamikaisu.deviantart.com/art/Of-All-Things-Soul-Silver-Nuzlocke-Rules-413558923
Waayy darker and realistic(ish) than the others on this list, it still has pretty good art and provides an interesting way for the pokemon to communicate than just "oh they can talk now"

Blackout
http://iiyume.deviantart.com/art/BlackOut-Prologue-373988231
It's not for everyone I will say right off the bat. Depending on how much cheesiness you can handle, you'll either love or hate this one.

And btw, for following (most of) them, I use a site called ComicRocket. It's pretty darn useful as far as webcomics go. It basically keeps track of them and tells you when there's an update. No more using RSS feeds boys! https://www.comic-rocket.com/

Shouldn't this be in VGG, not Pokemon General?

Either way, here are a few that I like:

(I link their DeviantArt/main pages most of the time, but if you can't find a specific comic then let me know)

The first two are by the same author, who you might be familiar with by his name, Nuzlocke! He's the creator of the original Nuzlocke, and he has some pretty cool comics! He actually just got back from his hiatus, and is trying to finish up some of his non Pokemon relate comics so he can finish his Pokemon comics!

Pokemon: Hardmode (Ruby, Fire Red, and White[Not finished]) (http://nuzlocke.com/pokemonhardmode.php?p=1)

The original Nuzlocke comics! They are pretty funny, especially the FireRed ones, and the art gets really cool at some points. Art and story aren't the best for the first few comics, but it gets better!

SpaceCat (http://www.nuzlocke.com/spacecat.php?p=1)

CATS IN SPAAACCEEEEE! A really funny and goofy comic about this kitty that goes into space!

Cucumber Quest by gigideegee, AKA the author behind the HiImDaisy comics (http://cucumber.gigidigi.com/cq/page-1/) (Not done yet)

Such an amazing comic. The art is good, the story is amazing, the characters are funny and likable. Meet Cucumber, a kid that SHOULD have been in magic school by now, that is, if he wasn't roped into some crazy adventure to stop an evil queen from summoning an evil force known as the Nightmare Knight. Oops, looks like he was too slow!

Strain 42's Persona 3 FTW, Persona 4TW, Persona 2 Win, Persona Won, and probably more that I forgot about! (http://personaftw.thecomicseries.com/comics/) (Currently working on Persona 2 comics)

Art isn't too advanced most times, but it's still very funny, and there are times where it looks pretty good. It's basically just a bunch of funny Persona comics, so watch that if you're into... that.

NikkyDash's Ruby Nuzlocke and ORAS/X and Y Tradelocke comics (http://nikkydash.deviantart.com/) (X and Y comic is done)

Warning: Pretty vulgar at times. She makes a bunch of different Nuzlocke comics based off different challenges, so go check 'em out! Characters are very funny, and it hides a pretty great plot under a bunch of swearing and jokes :P

OddPenguin's "Odd Ones" and "Don't Be a Square" nuzlockes (http://oddpenguin.deviantart.com/) (Neither are finished yet)

At first glance, these may seem like normal Nuzlockes, but the story and characters might as well be a different game! Want proof: FENNEL is the main villain in his Black and White comic. Despite being silly, and breaking the fourth wall A LOT, the characters and development are pretty great throughout the story, and he also has a bunch of tips for both Nuzlocke and regular comic creators, so go check those out too! (Art is sorta messy a few times, but it's still pretty easy to tell what's happening)

GodSAMmit's Fire Red Nuzlocke (http://godsammit.deviantart.com/art/Sam-s-FireRed-Nuzlocke-Cover-455627329) (Not finished)

Warning: This run contains an excessive amount of swearing at times. This run is not for the faint of heart. Read at your own risk.

Amazing art, a great plot-twist, good characters and story, just read it!

Super Effective! (http://www.vgcats.com/super/?strip_id=0)

You've probably seen this one, but I might as well link it. It makes fun of Pokemon while using a lot of new and classic jokes made of it.



Ky-Nim's comics are also pretty good, but MoU was already linked. You should also read her Diamond Nuzlocke, though. Little messy, but the main protagonist in that one is the mother of the one in MoU, so it would be best to read it.

Not all webcomics are pokemon or video game related, so I'll move this thread to media discussion. It's a better fit for this kind of discussion, anyways.


That aside, a webcomic that I follow is called "Paranatural (http://www.paranatural.net/)". It's really cool, and you guys should check it out!

Whoops, thanks. When I started this, it was just gonna be about Nuzlocke comics, but then I expanded it and forgot to change the topic location. Sorry!

I've only read nuzlocke and Brawl in the Family. http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/
Both are just brilliant.

"Looked" at MS Paint Adventures (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?viewpage=archive) but it didn't really interest me. If you have your Nintendo Nazis and Sony fanboys, you also have the obnoxious newspaper comic supremacist and that probably isn't ever going to change. (Calvin and Hobbes was amazing, okay? ;-;)

I like awkwardzombie (which you linked) and GaMERCaT (http://tapastic.com/series/thegamercat) personally

I know of some comic creators on deviantart, but I don't think they classify under webcomics. Er. Or maybe they do. Let me just get some of them real quick
