Web Comics

I'm OBSESSED with them! Does anyone else read them? I recommend Plume by K Lynn Smith, and the cricket comics remind me so much of them(the ones in the magazine, except they're printed and not online making them regular comics I guess)! Help I return to the sites everyday to check if they uploaded the next page or chapter or something! There are a bunch of others I haven't mentioned but read. (Noblesse, Super Secret, A Budgie's Life, etc. from webtoons) HELP ME WITH MY ADDICTION!

If anyone's interested, I strongly recommend Rainy Days by Dave Stankoven. It starts out as one of those cute/silly Slice of Life comics (hoodie brigade for the win!) but actually contains many different plot layers and threads and becomes an intriguing, continuous fantasy story that still manages to be sweet, adorable, and funny. It includes talking animals, sentient doughnuts, and a magical cloning mirror if that sweetens the pot at all.

You should read I Am Princess X. It's not a web comic. It's a book, but it's centered around a mysterious web comic, and it has bits of the webcomic inside the book. The book is reeeeeeally good!

I saw I Am Princess X, it looks really good! You don't live in IL, do you? (This is a random story) Because it's on this reading list called Rebecca Caudill and our teachers always assign books from it to read over the summer, and this one boy in my class who was in the bathroom while we got our books got assigned I Am Princess X because that's just how my teacher is (it's kind of an ongoing joke- last summer, he got assigned a book that was more geared toward girls, too, so...He wasn't very happy.) Anyways, it looks good, I want to read it!

More recommendations: Alice and the Nightmare, a lovely comic based off of Alice In Wonderland starring two quirky girls I ship who seem to have secrets...

Everblue, a story about a boy and a girl and a lot of other things set in a mysterious world with an apparently infinite ocean and a lost civilization.

Far To The North, which follows a girl and a boy (man?) by turns and features dragons, goblins, bandits, and a world of wonders and dangers.

The ones in my previous post are really the best. Johnny Wander is insanely adorable and also beautiful, a sort of autobiography you will fall in love with and a couple of short fiction stories I adore. Might be some strong language and such. Go read it. SSSS has some gore and scary stuff (rash disease, turns mammals into monsters, death, ghosts, post-apocalypse, you get the idea), but is refreshingly free of romance and language. Also, bonus for mythology and art. Blindsprings is all about a lost princess and a world of magic. It's a little hard to explain, but it's totally PG and yet darker than you think. Namesake is... well, think old fairy tales. Really old. Old like five hundred years old. Old like the original Hans Christian Andersen story of The Little Mermaid. Older. Old like that. It's darker than that at times, and lighter than the Disney version at others. The story is long and complex and amazing. The cast is diverse and pretty big, and there's lots of little things like the Cheshire cats and pancakes in addition to the main story with the magic and wars. All the warnings for mild to moderate everything, recommended for those over the age of twelve.

I only go in the What If section of xkcd.

Uhhh, does Nimona and Friends with Boys count? They're webcomics turned graphic novel!

Sure! I know more than two other webcomics that have become graphic novels.
