what other webcomics do you read? i need some recs

(CLAPS MY LITTLE HANDS TOGETHER)ok I’m genuinely into EVERY comic i’m about to suggest so pls take the time to check them all out if you’re looking for some reading materialfirst of all, read Octopus Pie. it’s a classic. it recently ended, and there’s a huge backglog to go through. really well written w/ real professional art i’m actually rereading it RIGHT NOW.

next, Gunnerkrigg Court. this and octopie are the goodie oldies of webcomics, they’ve been running forever. the art starts off a little more simple and cartoony and evolves into some of the most gorgeous, vibrant paintings for panels. the story is EXTREMELY engaging and i’ve been reading it for years. there’s also some rlly cute queer stuff... no spoilers.

i’m almost positive you’ve already SEEN some of Hark! A Vagrant’s strips around the internet. they’re fucking iconic and I don’t really need to say more to you. all i have to do is show you.

now it’s time to talk about Bad Machinery, another BIG FAV. the arcs are cut up to be case-by-case, as a group of school kids solve a slew of supernatural mysteries. I’m really in love with the playful art style and the writing gets. REAL heavy at times. the characters actually do get older and move forward in time as the story progresses, which is something i really appreciate in school-setting comics. pls read it, it’s great.

Kill Six Billion Demons is a new one on my list. It’s.... Insane. I read through it almost all at once, it’s really hard to stop, and it hasn’t been running for too long. The art is some of the most stunning shit I’ve ever seen in my life, forreal. It genuinely makes me want to scream.

Namesake holds a VERY special place in my heart. The illustrations are gorgeous, the wizard-of-oz setting is really cozy for me, and it’s extremely well written. (ALSO QUEER STUFF) don’t pass up this one, yall.

I have a lot more, should I keep going??

I've read all of namesake in like four days and now I don't know what to do with my life

[regallibellbright]

At the point in Namesake where I’m almost caught up with the present day (about a year and a half/year back I think?) and have therefore read through the stuff I came in on.

And yeah, the Incredibly Long Day From Hell with the trial and Shadows almost eating Earth and the Reverse Utena Heartswap and the King of Crowns DOES make way more sense on reread, all at once.

(Also: Um.

Henry Jekyll shows up, per creator comments pre-One’d, in 1913. This is, of course, AFTER Dorothy, further underlined by the last page of that intermission. “Call Baum and his precious Writer’s Guild. Call them now.”

Emily’s story establishes that when she got back with Dorothy from the fairy world post-Emma Gale’s death, Henry Gale was already part of One.

And it is explicitly clear that Jekyll is part of the group, and the Shadow is Hyde, and he mentions this before Dorothy’s first trip to Oz.

SOME One’s been time travelling, hasn’t he? Which might explain a few things… while raising several more questions.)

Jack's flashback: Dramatic emotionally-charged confessions while dangling on a cliffside.

Valentine's 2018 opener: Shows Jack and Penta, reading, "You're the girl of my dreams, because I always find you there."

Terrible timing at the time, but since I read this in like, 2019-2020, AWWWW.

[regallibellbright]

1: The panel where Warrick asks Jack about his wife and Jack proceeds to get shoujo bubbles as he talks about how amazing Penta is is ADORABLE and seriously I am VIBRATING WITH NEED to see them reunited we KNOW she's alive.

2: Alice, with the least concerned expression ever: Hey, remember that time we accidentally toppled a government on Orkon?

Jack: That was accidental? Women didn't have the right to vote or any power. Coulda sworn we did it on purpose.

I love Team Bulldozer. I love them so much.
