Some webcomics I read. Part I

One of my major hobbies is reading webcomics. I actually read well over a hundred webcomics, which would be quite the pain if I didn't use The Webcomic List to automatically notify me when my comics have updated. In any case, I've decided to list some of the webcomics I read that are obscure but otherwise excellent. So without any further ado...


Everblue: On a world covered by water, a young shipbuilder encounters a vagrent sailor who turns her world upside down and catapults her into adventure. Very well drawn, with engaging characters.

Dead Winter: It's about a zombie apocalypse, friendship, and being awesome.

Derelict: in a post apocalypse world where a deadly miasma hides monsters, Deng lives on a boat and tries to survive alone. Excellent drawing.

Walking on Broken Glass: "a Supernatural Office Dramedy Romance about Murder. It’s about a man dealing with a dark fate looming over his future and his quest to make up for the wrongs of that future in the present. It’s about a woman with enough strength, determination, love and stubbornness to stand by his side through thick and thin. It’s about monsters. It’s about magic. It’s about werewolves! And witches! And vampires!"

Little Guardians: "Little Guardians tells the story of two young people switched at birth and now unknowingly living each other’s lives. Subira was supposed to be the next Guardian of Yowza Village, but she was born a girl. Instead she lives a quiet life working at The Item Shop never knowing what should have been. Idem trains to be the next Guardian and tries his best to be the warrior he was never meant to be. How will the next generation survive the choices made for them as strange incidents start plaguing the village and demon attacks appear to be on the rise?"

Kinnari: Difficult to describe- a journey using Indian mythological themes. An absorbing read with excellent artwork.

My current favorite is Namesake, followed by Schlock Mercenary and Girl Genius. I've been enjoying Paranatural, but the updates are so slow that it detracts from the enjoyment of the story.

Namesake is a wonderful take on modern mythology, as is Paranatural. Of course I didn't bother listing Girl Genius because who ISN'T reading it? Schlock Mercenary I fell off reading it, and I need to get back to looking at it again.
