Web Comics with story?Follow

There are a huge number of serial webcomics, but they rarely get the exposure of the big name two-gamers-and-a-couch comics. Western audiences tend to be less interested in continuity.

I've read a few of those on clone manga, and I like many of the author's ideas even if the executions need improving. Darth & Droids and Order of the Stick are more about individual strip comedy, but they technically have strong continuity.

It was a neutral statement. Interesting that you took that with negative connotation though.

Erfworld is definitely a good comic, I enjoyed that one.

One of my favorites is Hero. It has a storyline, but it's a little more cryptic. The art is absolutely wonderful though, it's a shame it's rarely updated any more.

You need to move Megatokyo to the random update list, and Order of the Stick to the updated weekly list.

I can't believe no one mentioned the awesomeness that is Flipside [sometimes NWS]

And probably the world's longest joke set up, not counting the creation of mankind.

"Flintlocke vs. the Horde" ended back in July, I believe. Still hilarious, though, as is the original "Flintlocke's Guide to Azeroth."

I read several that Polderan already mentioned (CAD, Gunnerkrigg Court, Girl Genius, LFG). All excellent comics.

I'd also add Dominic Deegan, Goblins, Digger, and Dead Winter to the list. Dominic Deegan updates M-F consistently, Goblins seems to update about once or twice a week, Digger updates Tues and Thurs, and Dead Winter's a bit sporadic but averages once a week. I'd also like to add my all-time favorite, Zebra Girl, to the list, but I'm a bit hesitant as it doesn't update very regularly or consistently these days (maybe once or twice a month, if we're lucky). All of the web-comics I listed have excellent ongoing, consistent plots, and have spectacular artwork. Well, some of the early stuff can be pretty rough, but at least two of those comics are done by professional artists.

Fun Fact: Digger's drawn by the woman who created the original "LOL WUT?" pear, Ursula Vernon: Link to original image on DA. The linked image is safe, but I'll put a NSFW warning on her gallery; she does some rather bizarre and risque paintings sometimes...

I'd have to move them on the three different sites I keep copies of the list in case one site goes down, and that's just too much work.

Dungeons & Dorks was the first webcomic I ever followed. Pretty good.

Oglaf kind of has a story.



...what?

Grim Tales from Down Below is done, and IIRC, Bleedman is taking a break and working on finishing the Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi before anything else. He hasn't left it alone, though, and has been posting previews for a sequel comic called Grim Tales from Down Below: Afterbirth featuring older characters.

Done as in that storyline is finished.

Well, I have been persuaded to reread it and it does seem like he continued it at some point... and it's even better than I remember. Thanks for making me check it out again Fish.

This.

Thank you!

There is also Drowtales. It updates everyday at Midnight EST. Its side stories are updated weekly or so.
