For those of you who don't know, I love web comics. So, here's my top 5. Get readin'.
5. Achewood by Chris Onstad
Achewood is about Chris Onstad's wife's childhood toys. Characters to look out for: Roast Beef, Tedor, Phillipe and Ray.
Onstad's simple black and white comics would have usually turned me off, but the stories are just too funny and well rounded to pass up.
4. Questionable Content by Jeph Jacques
Questionable Content: an alternate universe where all indie kids talk about how they're feeling constantly, your upstairs neighbour is a hyperchondriac and you computer is actually a little robot that likes porn alot. Jaques has come a long way with his dawings since the start of the comic in 2003, and the stories are nicer, longer, and a bit more realistic. All in all, a fun read.
3.Friendly Hostility by K. Sandra Fuhr
The comic that got me into web comics. Drawn by the illusive K. Sandra Fuhr, this delightful yarn about a gay couple, their families and friends is a lovely read. While sometimes having the feel of a fan girl pairing up her favourite same sex characters, the art and stories make up for all Fuhr's endless gay coupling. She draws like no one else, and there is constantly something new happening with the characters. Due to end in June.
2. OverCompensating by Jeffrey Rowland
A Real Life story about a Real Life Dude, the adventures of Jeffery Rowland, writer and creator of Wigu are a hilarious journey to read. Along with Baby, Joanna (a dead cat), Weedmaster P, Tallahassee, Mashley (his sister), The Englishman (better known as Mr. John Allison) and many many more comic artists, fictional characters and religious icons, his exploits are well worth the read.
1. ScaryGoRound by John Allison
Its really no surprise that ScaryGoRound comes in as my number one. John Allison's style is so unique and visually pleasing, his stories are off the wall, yet make so much sence, there are devil bears, evil easter bunnies, goblins, ghosts and the underworld; hot chicks, beatniks, gothic loltias; romance, action, horror, and everything else you could think of. ScaryGoRound is a rare gem in the often hard-to-navigate web comic underbelly.
