Webcomic recommendations

[Robin]

We have a bookshelf for our (numerous!) book recommendations, but we don't have anywhere to put webcomic recommendations. Until now. I'll kick it off by listing just a few of my favorites

Girl Genius (ongoing, serial, start with the first comic) - Steampunk, mad science, and adventure.

Schlock Mercenary (ongoing, serial/joke-per-day (it alternates), start with the first comic) - science fiction, adventure, and the Seventy Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries. (#37: "There is no 'overkill.' There is only 'open fire' and 'I need to reload.'")

A Miracle of Science (completed, serial, start with the first comic) - science fiction, mad science, and romance.

Red's Planet Aliens abduct a girl from earth -- and lots of other aliens from their planets -- before they crash on yet another planet. (I was wondering about this one for a time since the heroine seemed a bit too self-centered, but she shows more than that after a bit.

Cucumber Quest A parody of fantasy video games. Also funny if you only read books; the tropes are familiar enough.

Far Out. Robots in the Wild West!!!! An all-robot Wild West at that. Amusing little sketches of robotic life between the plot and the drama.

Impure Blood A fantasy revolving about a search for the last of the race called the Ancients. It opens with the rescue of a half-Ancient gladiator from the arena. Filled with secrets and drama.

Freefall Fun and philosophy, with robots, a squid-like alien and spaceship captain, and an intelligent anthromorphic wolf engineer

Order of the Stick Comedy! Adventure! In a D&D universe! A group of adventurers formed because their leader had to fulfill his father's death oath discover they are involved in a far more crucial matter.

Rusty & Co Comedy! Adventure! In a D&D universe! Three monsters realized who had the good deal and took up the life of adventurers!

The Specialists Superheroes in World War II-- a war dragged out years longer than in ours, because of German superheroes.

Bird Boy. A boy -- a clumsy boy -- stumbles on something in the forest. Something perhaps mythic in nature.

Gunnerkrigg Court A tale of a very, very, very strange school.

Erstwhile Tales from the Brothers Grimm

For what it's worth, my daily comic reading list can be found at: http://jabrwok.yolasite.com/dr.php#Co....

It includes some that are listed above, plus others. Alas, Goblins is not updating at the moment due to personal issues on the part of the writer.

Not updating is very annoying. Indeed, I've known amusing comics to go silent and then vanish.

I'd highly recommend Crimson Dark. The artist has since relocated from Australia and paused the comic, but there's a good section of entertainment there, good space opera, good humor, very Firefly-esque at times.
