I did try to choose only 1 story but oh well... 🤷🏻♀️
Favorite Series will always be Kismet ❤
And for fics let's go with a top 3, shall we?
Distance
Candyland part 1 & part 2
Men of Hopkins
❤❤❤
OMG Ann! Thanks so much.
I loved Candyland (just the contrast in parenting styles always got me lol) and Men of Hopkins, but they were not "much loved" so I thought I'm the only one who still remembered them. lol
Kismet is such a sweet little series. I have the "They Met" part in my WIPs, and it's coming soon. It will end with them discovering (or not) that they have met in the past.

Centralia 2050 - https://centralia2050.com/ About: The story follows Midori, who has no memories, Grey, the unwitting dude who winds up babysitting, and some scary conspiracies they find along the way. Why: It's a fantastically drawn sci-fi with some interesting themes about discrimination and plenty of mystery. Radio Silence - http://www.radiosilencecomic.com/ About: The story follows a band as they basically live life and deal with success, family, and the band life. Why: Lots of great and relatable characters and has a great mix of both comedy and drama in a very pleasing slice of life way. Voidchild - https://tapas.io/series/Voidchild/info About: Voidchild is the story of Mary who possesses supernatural powers and consequently becomes involved in supernatural happenings going. Why: The action is really nice, the supernatural aspects interesting, and if you like seeing people develop their skills over the course of the comic, this is a great example. Alethia - https://alethia.kstipetic.com/index.html About: Alethia is a sci-fi comic about robots where each city is plagued by its own dilemma that's up for one robot to try and solve. Why: I consider this very literally to be the best sci-fi webcomic available. It is exactly what the genre is supposed to be, beautifully drawn, and I could write you a 10 page essay about every reason you should read Alethia. Super Galaxy Deluxe Knights R - http://sgkdr.webcomic.ws/ About: This is a story about Mizuki who doesn't believe in the rules and fixes problems with good strategy and crazy magic. Why: One of the best comedy webcomics in my opinion. Great timing, great payoff, and creative fights. Also Sword Warrior. The Pale - https://tapas.io/series/The-Pale About: This is a story about a small town and what happens when murders start happening. Why: Another beautifully drawn comic, and really one of the few that fills the small town murder mystery niche few comics go for.

Apricot Cookie(s)! - https://apricotcookies.net/ About: The comic is a comedy about Apricot who lives in a world where basically all school kids are magical girls and she is the only one who can't transform.

The Carpet Merchant of Konstantiiniyya - https://reimenayee.com/the-carpet-merchant-of-konstantiniyya/ About: The story follows a humble carpet merchant who has an unfortunate encounter with a vampire. Why: This offers a double whammy with beautiful, detailed art and fantastic story-telling that pulls at the heart strings. Maiden of the Machine - https://maidenmachine.com/ About: A romance story set in a steampunk world where class divides and societal expectations are a problem. Why: Very nicely paced romance with interesting characters and an interesting world. Sombulus - http://www.sombulus.com/ About: An adventure fantasy comic about a trio of misfits who go to different places, cause havoc, but also somehow kind of fix things. Why: One of those comics where it's really about the journey and having a fun time experiencing that journey. Plus, the world and set up is interesting with just enough bait for theorists. Chirault - http://chirault.sevensmith.net/ About: A fantasy comic about Kiran, a demon hunter, and Teeko, the victim of a spell gone wrong, and how they whoops into a magical adventure that risks the entire world.

Ring Spell - https://ring-spell.com/ About: A fantasy, slice of life about witches, wizards, and something about rings. Why: Super crisp and beautiful art combined with plenty of mysteries to keep the brain thinking.
Many more I could add, but I will stop there with my walls.

The archive for the Reader Favorites chat that occurred from July 8th, 2020 to July 14th, 2020. The chat focused on the following question:
Even if it’s not your cup of tea, which webcomic do you think has the most unique art style?
carcarchu
I have to give it to "黄雀传" https://ac.qq.com/Comic/comicInfo/id/553285. This series has the most wonderfully grotesque art style and i mean that in the most loving way possible. However, I really truly preferred it in the black and white that it used for the first 18 chapters because the contrast really helped with setting the mood it was going for and the colour makes it look too "pretty". also i thought the readability was a lot higher with the b&w. the colour seems to muddle things(edited)
this art style is just so cool!!!!
Another series with a super cool art style i really like is Cotton Valent's Meawbin stuff https://tapas.io/series/Meawbin/info
RebelVampire
I'm gonna go with The Carpet Merchant of Konstantiniyya. The details really characterize the comic so much, mixed with some of the more simple elements, and it creates this beautiful blend of relateability and beauty. It's the sort of art style where I would not mistake it for another comic or creator. https://reimenayee.com/the-carpet-merchant-of-konstantiniyya/
sierrabravo (Hans Vogel is Dead)
yess!!!!! love this comic!!!!!!
MannyShApe
I enjoy Flowerys from the Deep, great story and art style http://deepflowers.webcomic.ws/comics/first
Also dig Tom n Artie for the humor https://tapas.io/series/TOM-N-ARTIE/info
