Webcomic Recs!
I read a lot of webcomics (although never enough). I recommend them individually sometimes, but thought it might be worth it to have a list of recs for different moods/kinds of comics people might be looking for :D
NB: I am not current on all of these webcomics; some of them I may be far behind on.
If at least one person doesn’t wield a sword, what even is the Point?

Nimona [Complete] — a young girl with shapeshifting powers becomes a villain’s apprentice. Nimona is no longer fully available for free online, but you can read the first three chapters as a preview before deciding if you would like to purchase a copy
Cucumber Quest — Cucumber is reluctantly the hero destined to defeat the Nightmare Knight and his henchmen. Almond, his much more adventure-happy sister, takes the lead on their quest.
Paranatural — bust a gut laughing at Zack Morrison’s flawless humor in this comic about a group of children taking on ghosts, spirits, shadowy organizations, and the horrors of middle school. [Full rec post here]
