I think this should be in Off-Topic.

Anyway, while there are other webcomics that I like, I don't actively follow any except for The Escapist's own Critical Miss, so I guess I'll go with that.

I guess my other choice would go to Bear Nuts [http://www.bearnutscomic.com/2008/08/17/01-bear-nuts/], which is just too adorable. And at 352 pages now. Wow.

Besides Critical Miss here, I try to read Awkward Zombie [http://awkwardzombie.com/] and Rare Candy Treatment [http://www.rarecandytreatment.com/] at least semi-regularly.

One of my favourite strips is this.

Looks like Off-Topic is down.

I'll throw in my old favorite Homestuck [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/].

It's good stuff, getting close to 6,000 pages now, and finally winding down to the ending.

I've listed some of my favourites fairly recently, so apart from Unsoundedcomic.com (So beautiful! So well written! Works better in chunks than weekly though) and Life Ain't No Pony Farm (serious, check out how cute the art is http://sarahburrini.com/en/ also in German if you're interested).

I'd like to mention some of the completed webcomics which are just incredible stories all the way through.

Phoenix Requiem - Victorian Fantasy Romance/Horror-Adventure satisfying and intriguing beginning to end
http://requiem.seraph-inn.com/

Freak Angels - A very down to earth, dirty character-focused story set in a flooded broken future London with civilisation in tatters, following a bunch of angry teenagers who all got given powers they weren't mature enough to handle
http://www.freakangels.com/


Juathuur - Art style gets better quickly, fantasy story with very complex motivations, I ended up feeling sympathy for everyone. Has a sequel in progress
http://www.oneway.juathuur.com/?id=1

Darken-Fantasy comedy, with a cast of characters all with good independent motivations. Basically follows the bad guys on their quest to conquer the world
http://darkencomic.com/

Errant Story - Comedy/Fantasy Drama
http://www.errantstory.com/

Dreamless - Also by the authour of Phoenix Requiem, it's not quite as good, but it was about one page of from being fantastic. When the protagonist goes to sleep she enters the life of someone else and ends up attached to her sleep person although they've never physically interacted
http://dreamless.keenspot.com/

I feel like I#m missing some good ones, and in particular if anyone else has got other completed stories to recommend me, I'm in the mood for them

EDIT: Actually what am I doing pimping out old webcomics when it's the new ones who need to find a fanbase?
This image is actually a mild spoiler, but I don't think it hurts the story much if you don't read the pages around it.

Supernormal Step -Superhero comedy/fantasy drama, has got a very clean energy
http://supernormalstep.com/?p=8

Gaia - Fantasy, but with a lovely cutesy artstyle

Nerf NOW!! [http://www.nerfnow.com/] because fanservice it's light, funny and I love the art, and Servants of the Imperium [http://www.servantsoftheimperium.com/index.php], which I discovered through the the forums here the last time this topic came up... so thanks to whomever it was that pointed me to that one.

I used to really enjoy Looking for Group [http://www.lfgcomic.com/] but the pacing has got really bad. It updates twice a week but for a while now it feels like one page of story development for every ten pages of arsing around.

Rarely have I laughed as much as I have reading through PBF when bored in class. It's gotten me in plenty o' trouble as well.

And though I haven't been following it lately http://axecop.com/ is bloody hilarious.

I'd have to say 8-Bit Theatre [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2001/03/02/episode-001-were-going-where/].

Alright, not the prettiest webcomic, and it takes a little bit to get into stride. But then the character's traits go up to eleven, and then not a single strip went by that I didn't find at the very least amusing. I was rather sad when it finished, but I suppose it's for the best.

Here's a recent strip:

That is one crazy fandom though

but I find the gods almighty to be very fuuny, its similar to critical miss int that a girl hallucinates Norse gods. And no they are not the ones from Avengers

My all time fav is 8-bit theater, but I'm also partial to SMBC, Cyanide and Happiness, questionable content, xkcd, and oglaf.

8-bit Theater for sure, it starts a little slow but when it finds its groove it is amazing. Warbot in Accounting and Penny Arcade are pretty funny as well.

Yeah, I can't really deny there are some annoying parts of the fandom. But it's not unusual for a fandom, and it's not too difficult to avoid the more irritating fans. The worst of them haven't read the full comic because they don't have the patience for it, they just jump into the fandom and cosplay en masse at unrelated cons because 'everyone else is doing it'.

In the end, though, it's worth putting up with for the story. I've read lots of other webcomics, but none of them have really matched the stuff I've seen from Andrew Hussie, whose stuff I've been reading for over 4 years. He just keeps getting better, and it's been interesting to watch him grow as an artist.

I can understand that his stuff isn't for everyone though.

How can there even be a question that it's Bug, a 5-per-week cavalcade of crazy comics
http://www.bugcomic.com/comics/2012-03-02-The-Unmasked-Ave.png

And also, Happletea. Mainly because it's a comic focused on world mythology with good accompanying text twice a week and I'm a sucker for that sort of thing.

Penny Arcade, Slinkers, Noblesse, & that LotR comic Shamus made a few years ago.

I'm really dying for another one that will make me laugh, but humor is a very subjective thing. I'm pretty big on macabre humor, gay jokes (between men), nostalgia, geek chique, mean spirited pop culture spoofs, mean bitchy girls, pairing up an insane, stoic, or exceedingly angry person with a blithering idiot or very hyper person, D&D, general insanity & mindf**kery, crapsack world, cast of jerks, creepy children, cartoon violence, gender confusion, inappropriate humor, accident magnet protagonist, cast trolling, & running gags.

I probably won't recheck this forum, so please send me a message if you know something I should try. ^__^
