webcomics

Webcomics are amazing!!! This is a collection of some of the ones that helped me grow into who I am today and that inform the kind of art I've always wanted to make. There's a few classics in here along with some newer ones (so many of the webcomics I grew up with have wrapped up, I gotta replenish my stash!)

*** means this is one of my absolute faves, GO READ IT NOW AUGH

Ongoing

• Dresden Codak: Dark Science*** - Senna Diaz
• Notes: There's other comics in the Dresden Codak world, but this one's ongoing and has CYBORG LESBIANS go read it now.
• Ava's Demon*** - Michelle Fus
• Notes: Absolutely gorgeous art
• Gunnerkrigg Court - Tom Siddell
• Notes: LONG, like, updating 3x a week for 20+ years straight long, but really. really. good. Needless to say I'm very behind...
• Peony - Corinth B / Leo O

Completed / Hiatus

• The Glass Scientists*** - Sage Cotugno
• Notes: HOLY SHIT I had no idea this had finished up, I blinked (for like a year) and it was done ;A; still gotta finish reading
• O Human Star*** - Blue Delliquanti
• Notes: oh my gods just a beautiful beautiful exploration into humanity, gender, robots, the trans experience -- this one helped me come out to myself and my loved ones. so so freaking beautiful holy shit.
• Nimona*** - ND Stevenson
• Notes: Unofficial archive, I'm just so happy it's posted online somewhere.... Go buy the physical book here!
• Lackadaisy - Tracy Butler
• Notes: Not officially on hiatus but last update was 2019?? It's in production as an animated series though so we're still gonna get more of these wild kitties sooooooooon(ish)?
• Mare Internum - Der-shing Helmer
• As the Crow Flies - Melanie Gillman
• Notes: Indefinite hiatus c. late 2010s
• Homestuck - Andrew Hussie
• Notes: didn't read this one until I was already in my twenties and one of the last acts was ongoing. Some of the language aged poorly but overall ... what a freakin experience.
• Rimworld Tales - SrGrafo
• Notes: I've never played Rimworld but this goes hard.
