What are your personal favourite print and web comics?

On the print side, I am a HUGE fan of Javier Grillo-Marxuach's "The Middleman" . Javi's also a supervising producer and writer on LOST, which is an equally awesome TV show. Check it out if you've got 3 bucks to spare.

On the interweb, I'm a fan of Kez's The War of Winds , and who isn't a fan of The Gods of Arr-Kelaan ? I also like Cortland , a Mac-centric webcomic.

On the print side of things I’m a fan of Invincible, Hsu and Chan, The Ultimates, lots of DC stuff featuring their big hitters (Batman, Green Lantern, Superman, The Flash), Lullaby, Lions Tigers & Bears, Polly and the Pirates
Ok, I’ll stop before I just start listing off everything out of my collection :P

As for webcomics, I’m a big fan of PvP, Penny-Arcade, White Ninja, The Pet Professional, Angel Moxie, Theater Hopper, VGCats and others which are escaping me at the moment.

As for my all time favorites, I'm a huge fan of Berserk, Hellsing, and 100 Bullets.

On the web side I like PVP, VGCats, No Need for Bushido, Hellbound, and (more recently) Try Everything Once. The Gods of Arr-Kelaan:Going Home was awesome too.

I don't read many print comics (on account of my having neither money nor resources-- though I am a HUGE fan of the Flight anthologies), but...

Fave webcomics right now: Panda Xpress, Patches, Random Pirate Comics, A Lesson Is Learned But The Damage Is Irreversible, The Daily Droop, Acid Zen Wonder Paint, Instant Classic, Indietits, Checkerboard Nightmare (I know it's defunct, but still), CulturePulp, Astronaut Elementary, and, most recently, Dresden Codak. Oh, yeah, and anything by D. Merlin Goodbrey.

Haha...well I guess my comic just isn't your thing, but that's fine.

I like Runaways and Teen Titans and Teen Titans Go. Then there's She-Hulk and Y the Last Man.

As for Webcomics, my absolute favorites are/were RPGWorld, Wapsi Square, Gunnerkrigg Court, Van Von Hunter and Yenny. But, I read like 40 of them simultaneously anyway.

No, it is. I like it. I just didn't want to pass up the chance to mess with your head.

PS: Do you know where... Funnel Cake is?

It's true, I did read your post a few times to see if somehow you had minimized the print in certain areas or something....(damn time waster!:P)

Funnel Cake? I think it's in Nebraska. Maybe Idaho.

Print stuff:
Cable & Deadpool, Deadpool, X-Factor (issues 70-111, mostly), The Losers, The new She-Hulk. The Ultimates, Demo, Runaways, probably a ton of other crap I'm forgetting, but I don't feel like digging through all of my comics to jog my memory


Web stuff:
Overcompensating, Questionable Content, Something Positive, Nothing Nice to Say, Penny Arcade, The Last Day of FOXHOUND, Joe and Monkey, Rob and Elliot, Niego (though it's over), VG Cats, Culture Shock

And Sluggy still holds a special place in my person, even though I haven't really read it for about two years.

i dont read many comics anymore. i only buy 100 bulllets tpb
..but my favorite artist are jae lee hellshock(the new version), david mack's stuff, joe mad's battle chasers

Let's see... Eggbert, Sinfest, QC, Mac Hall, Applegeeks (carbon copies, I know), PVP, PA, Real Life, the Pet Proffesional, Gods of Arr-Kelaan, TEO and Cup of Suffering (WHICH IS BACK!).

Uh, I read this lovely strip comic called, uh, Knock on Wood , done by this guy who on this forum goes by the name of Lukee... I would seriously suggest everyone go and read it, like right now. It's that good. XD


Thanks for the pimp, Lucas!

Web comics:

Dog Complex
C'est la Vie
Sam and Fuzzy
You'll Have That

Those are tops, anyway.

I probably should have included Knock on Wood also because I read it regularly. Not every strip is great, but y'know, with 7 updates per week you get some really good ones.

Well, alot of my favorites are here already, but here's a few too:

Print:
Transmetropolitan, Lenore(Criminal Records Inc.), and I just read the Fray compelation(sp?) from Joss Whedon which was awesome.

Web:
Bunny! the oh so cute, Candi, Girl Genius Online Comic, ::iLL WiLL PreSS::, Cat Legend, and Errant Story

Squee!! ^_^

(edit: DOh! I meant to add Flatwood, fer da web!)
(redit: and I totally forgot Squee for paper :( buy it or he'll die!)

Giandroid
Cup of Suffering (WHICH IS BACK!).

Holy crap, it is! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

I personally think all webcomics suck, even mine. I'm just here to wade in our terribleness.

Print comics, though, are da bomb. Gen 13 forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And have you seen all the webcomics out there? No. So you can't immediately assume that all of them suck. That's just like my English classmate Claire assuming all animation sucks from watching only Disney movies.

I thought my praise of Gen 13 would have highlighted my tongue-in-cheekiness.

Can't say I've read any print comics in a long time, they just became too expensive here... but I last used to read Judge Dredd

My webcomic favourites are pretty much most of those mentioned already... but anyways, they'd be *inhales* Applegeeks, Chisuji, Exterminatus Now, Machall, Megatokyo, 8-bit Theatre, Penny-Arcade. Snafu Comics, VGCats, Weeble and Bob, and Homestar Runner. *phew*

Gen-13 should be tried for crimes against boobs.

Ah, Calvin and Hobbes... I always get so nostalgic whenever I read that for some reason. But it is one of the best comics ever made. Ever.

Samurai Deeper Kyo is a pretty good print comic series, if a little cliche at times. However, I was really inspired by that comic and it helped me improve my actions scenes dramatically.

Hmm... favorite webcomics?

Pinky TA, Earthbound, The WAVAM Project, Strange Case, Assassin Assassin, Try Everything Once, leveL, Cat Legend, Kagerou, Lick My Jesus, File 49, Grand Blue Door, Vampire Phantasm, i <3th Darth, Zap!, Sinfest, Questionable Content, No Rest for the Wicked, and there are probably others I can't remember.

I used to like 9th Elsewhere, but it doesn't update anymore and it's become really trite and boring. Fallen is another comic I like(d) but it doesn't update anymore either. :/

Mr. Neil
There was a level of care put back into comics that can only be seen in comics after Calvin and Hobbes.

Amen!

After reading this discussion I went back and read some of my Calvin and Hobbes anthologies. There's a great use of artistic design you usually never see in newspaper comics in C&H...

I don't read many print comics anymore - Calvin and Hobbes is one of my favorites. As for running paper strips, my top three are Foxtrot, The Boondocks, and Doonesbury. Magic Knights Rayearth is another printed I like, favorite manga I guess you would say.

My favorite webcomics - Alpha Shade , Flipside , No Rest For the Wicked , and Kemikal War Fair are the ones that come to mind -

I dunno, Boondocks is just so in your face I find it obnoxious.

I agree. They just try to be so blantantly politically offensive that it's not enjoyable.

I also forgot Dominic Deegan for favorite webcomics.

Yeah, there's a more subtle way to do it that's less annoying. Its like those anti-smoking ads. I hate smoking but those ads make me want to light up a big 'ole ciggy just to annoy them.

Reminds me of that South Park episode...

(and the cool thing is I can apply that line to absolutly any current affair topic!)

Ahh, you youngins. In my day, my friends and I could relate just about anything in life to Seinfeld.

What would Jerry do?
