Elspeth

Elspeth is a serious gal. She's a businessorc dealing in weapons, travelling between towns on her lonesome. Life is tough - medieval racism, persistent elves creeping on her, no sympathy for her pet cause even from the people she's trying to help. We get the idea she grew up a bit outside the norm and we're not yet sure just how different she is because of it. She seems pretty comfortable telling people to piss off though. A fantasy story with some unique twists, lovely skilled art, full of great, likable characters and understated humor. Worth catching early!

SPiDERS

A young boy named Jamal has had some bad experiences. Much of the story so far is framed around Jamal's session with a counsellor, and although the counsellor doesn't learn much, we do. Which just brings us more questions, of course. Stylish black and white art, a dash of symbolism, and increasingly dreamlike elements... You won't be sure whether what happens to Jamal is real or if it's filtered through his kid reality- but that doesn't really matter, does it?

Soup

A little blue bloop finds himself floating in a tin can, floating in an ocean. He's a cute little fella, and as his world grows the comic grows in scope and detail. There's something really enjoyable about wordless comics. You get to read the pages in a different way and pay more attention to the art than you perhaps would have, otherwise. Soup does have a story, one you will quickly grow attached to all the more because you have to guess a bit for yourself. It isn't bold or grandiose (not yet anyway), but there are a number of unexpected developments. You'll also get surprisingly attached to the little blue guy!

Fan Dan Go

Rekki Lun is a "knight", she helps keep the peace in this swinging psychedelic Brit-pop town, and she makes a pretty bloody impressive sight in her striking red fashionable double breasted flared pants-suit and mini bomber jacket combo. Plus, the gigantic sword she carries sure is intimidating... You'll enjoy the humour, the fast paced action, the funky retro ray-guns, the bright colours and groovy artwork.

Darth Mongoose is the writer and artist behind Fan Dan Go. It's actually a reboot for her original "FanDanGo", which you can see here: http://www.drunkduck.com/FanDanGo, but this version is even better, (as you'd expect). Get in and read Fan Dan Go! Rated T+

Bad Guy High

One of the best things about a comic with a huge archive is that you get to watch (at faster speed) the progression of the artist and the way that their stories and goals change. Bad Guy High started life as a gag-based parody comic around a rather loose story, and premise of a high school where supervillains are educated. Although the art is admittedly rough at the beginning, the humor is there from day one. As the pages go on, the stories solidify and dramatize (though the comedy is still there), and the art improves visibly to the polished form it's in today. Good fun for you superhero comic fans!

The Continentals

It's 1889, barely a year after the mysterious Jack the Ripper's murderous rampage and equally mysterious disappearance the city of Mansfordshire, England is shaken by a series of brutal "mangling" murders that plunge the city into an abyss of fear.

The Continentals is a gorgeously funky Victorian crime thriller with a touch of TV's The Avengers or Department S. Brought to us by the same team as G.A.A.K., Darryl Hughes's writing is slyly humorous and artist Monique MacNaughton has produced some breathtakingly detailed black and white art.

Get in early for this treat and start reading The Continentals! Rated T+
It even begins with a lengthy prologue showcasing the making of the comic so far.

Deadmans Curse

Deadman's Curse is a creepy little tale about the creatures which guide a soul's passage to the next stage of being. Jix- playful and unrepentant as a fox should be- and Hebe, a dapper ghoul new to the job. Although in its early pages, this comic stands out. The story is interesting, and I think you'll agree that the rendering work in this one is something special. A huge amout of attention has been paid to environment and lighting (along with everything else) and that goes a hell of a long way to immersing you in its dark, ornate world.

True North

Supermutants with fantastic abilities fight to survive in a very hard city. Aleksandur tries to find his place amongst them. Death is never far away. The writing in True North is gritty, earthy and dark, this isn't a nice world to live in, but it's a very compelling story.

The creator is aleksandur- a different one from the character :)
True North is a great Black and white (mostly) story comic, Rated M. Check it out!

Orbit

The secret lives of planets are fascinating. Mars is cool, Venus is hot, Earth is the emo guy who sits between them. Who knew that our nine planets had so much going on? Well, eight now, but we don't talk about Pluto much... Although the thought of the moons and planets breaking orbit to go wandering around on adventures is a little scary, lighten up! It's a humor comic. And something about the moons makes me want to start a collection. This charming little strip will... some kind of joke about pulling you in with gravity?!

light within shadow

Lizzie is a keen student and a girl with a mysterious past, but everything is fine until one day... The temple is attacked. Lizzie and her freind Zack rush to stop the killer, but he easily overpowers them. It seems that all is lost until a strange mercenary shows up and saves the day. After these events things are changed for Lizzie, buried memories awake and her adoptive mother tells her how she was found as a young child. And so begins Lizzie's odyssey to unravel the secrets of her origins.
Light Within Shadow is a fantasy adventure story with an anime influenced art style by Girldirtbiker.
Read Light Within Shadow, rated T+

Saltwater Witch

Saltwater Witch is the story of Kassandra, a girl who suffers at the hands of a bunch of cruel and catty women, much like a certain fairytale evil-stepfamily. Like the story, she receives some aid from a magical mentor... although the aid is in the form of knowledge of her past and a good number of secrets and powers, and her mentor is a grumpy water demon obligated to serve her. Watercolor art is lovely and fitting, and it's rather satisfying to see Kassandra start coming into her own...

Anyone but Virginia

Anyone but Virginia is the story of a woman who copes with the ghosts of her past, the travails of the present, and the uncertainty of her future, balancing between her personal life and that of a superhero: Volcano Girl! This is a fascinating story by Josh Eiserike with really interesting semi-realistic art black and white art by Zac Crockett. This is one to follow! Rated E

Stripper Rippers

Bringing 50's comics into the modern age, Stripper Rippers is full of short romantic vignettes. Of course, by 'romantic' I mean somewhat lewd farces based around the too-tight shirts of lead females, jewel thieves who look like they're packin' babies, how to crush a housewife's sexual reluctance by seducing her sister, and so on... A wonderful little piece of work, like muting an awful old movie and talking over it (only this time it's funny).

Tales of the Traveling Gnome

Dottiar is a little fellow, a gnome actually. In his old age he decides to recount the stories of his swashbuckling hey-day, with a group of like-minded adventurers in search of the amulet of Ba'ra! This is an exciting, well told story comic. Matt Summers does a fine job with the writing and Michelle Mayo's art is phenomenal!
Normally we feature comic that updates regularly at least once week, but this one has a longer schedule. Tales of the Travelling Gnome is updated with good regularity on the last Sunday of every month. Rated T+

Children of the Night

Miss Elizabeth is an educated and innocent upperclass girl of the prim London past. (If you were living in her time, you might think she is spoiled, over-opinionated and naive?) Well, her heart is in the right place anyway. She loves book romance, and when she runs into a mysterious man praying forgiveness at the church, her own little adventure begins. This lavishly drawn manga features rakish men with revealing eyes and long-haired women in pretty, pretty dresses. The high society setting is a familiar one, but I think we can all look forward to something a little more unusual...

Fuse

The world is old and run down. Everything has gone to crap. People are crap. Their lives are crappy. Nothing is left. All of them are in the gutter... But some are looking at the stars.
Actually most are, but some ARE stars, They stand out and lead the populace. The Starkeeper makes sure they don't get out of line.
This is an interesting story comic by Corny, rated T+.

The Pools of Zara

Although Zara is the titular character, the mercenary Killerkind (a good fighter with some character flaws) is the one who steals the show here. Not to mention likable art (reminiscent of older Euro-comics, maybe?) and a straightforward writing style. The comic is set up as a fantasy but ends up being a quirky series of mini-adventures with a twist of farce and dark humor.

Abby Sanders Lawyer to the Supernatural

Abby Sanders, Lawyer to the Supernatural. That's what she is; No problem too small, too strange, too freaky, too spooky! If you're a spook and you're in trouble, no matter the charges, Abby will get you off. No Win, no fee! Or is that only for compensation claims...? I forget. It doesn't matter, Abby is the best lawyer in town, all the ghouls and assorted fire demons agree.
This stylish black and white comic strip is written and illustrated by our very own and much loved Skoolmunkee. Read Abby Sanders Lawyer to the Supernatural, Rated E!

The Assemblers

Bardo, Shiyu, and Dwyer- Old-young scamps with some complex technology and one bad haircut. On Devil's night, the boys are scrambling around a strange landscape of multi-era ruins, mischieviously enganging in a sort of large-scale reverse vandalism. This one is fantastically unique, confident, and hard to describe at the same time. Engaging art with some impressive ruin-scapes and a story that hooks you with its puzzles. The Assemblers only recently started updating again, so it's getting featured before any more chances are lost!

Supermassive Black Hole A Star

A wanted assassin, on the run. He failed to eliminate his target and now his target wants HIM dead... The Milky Way galaxy is a big place, but it's still pretty hard to hide when someone's after you. This as an exciting, addictive one panel black and white Sci-Fi drama by smbhax, also known as Ben Chamberlain. His main site with his animations for the comic is here: http://smbhax.com Supermassive Black Hole A Star is rated E and it updates every day from Monday to Friday, often multiple times a day!

Light Apprentice Nate

Light Apprentice Nate is for those who like their fantasy fast and funny. Nate is an energetic blue-haired kid who is determined to have adventures, even if that means angering an artistically talented orc and having fights in the town square. Lots of action and lovely colors, many little jokes, and mostly just fun to read!

Ted The Terrible Superhero

Ted is a superhero and Brian is his trusty sidekick. Yes, Ted, really, really, really IS a superhero! Well at least He thinks he is... And Brian, bis best friend, helps him out. Ted The Terrible Superhero is a classic newspaper style funny comic strip, except better because it's actually genuinely comic! Written and illustrated by Barton Cooper, Ted The Terrible Superhero features full colour art and truly funny writing, rated E!

Emerald Winter

Rien is a lonely young fellow, talented in swords and magic but lacking in the achievement and ambition departments. Instead of building a real life (which may be deliberate), he's befriended the village children and teaches them about what's outside their little sphere... not that he's experienced it himself. Things are about to change for him though- he's only marginally accepted by the village, and all it takes is for something to go a little wrong. A traditional fantasy setting, but focused on an individual nobody's story rather than a big political/war epic.

Juvies

Three friends since childhood, sharing the same living space... Three different guys and the silly things they get up to. Juvies is a good strong humour comic about 3 childhood friends- Scott the level headed leader, T.J the ladies man, and Roger the slacker. It's not deep, it's not complicated, it's just good funny stuff with good quality, solid colourful artwork!
Written and drawn by Jarred Cramer, AKA Juvenile_Jay

Strawberry Death Cake

Our protagonists are Jason, a rather hapless chap with a dark side (or is that dork side? he's a MMORPG player too), and his cooler bandmates Steph and Jessica. Somehow they have stumbled into a mess of licking demons and biped moose (mooses?). Their only rescue? Marylin, a short-skirted exorcist with a violent temper and a lack of inclination to save people. Violent battles, demonic transformations, a fun sense of humor... and just enough fanservice to keep things *really* interesting!

Louder Than Bombs

Louder Than Bombs is a black and white humour comic, featuring a cool dude with a goatee and all the dumb, silly, stupid, fantastic and funky things he does and thinks about the world.
It's funny. It's addictive. Once you start reading though this one, it'll be hard to stop!

With art by Chops McFadyn and writing by is Jay Fantástico. Rated M. Read Louder Than Bombs!

Weave

A pair of wily thieves hide out in a middle land, waiting to relieve a gigantic spider monster from the sacs of psychadelic drug it produces. The job is not without danger (the object of their intentions is highly coveted), but the urchins seem up to the task. There are a number of traditional fantasy-story elements here, but they seem to be mixed around and not quite what you'd expect. There's not too many pages thus far and it's not very clear just what's going on yet, but whatever it is, it looks amazing (and maybe just a little disturbing).

Imaginary Daughter

All of a sudden a man finds a daughter in his life, like Athena and Minerva she springs fully formed from his mind... That complicates things for him, but not as much as having a daughter the normal way would've done. This is a very strange comic and the daughter is a very strange little girl. With magical powers. The city is devoid of people, reality isn't functioning in the normal way and something bad is after them both.
Featuring delightfully bright colour pencil colouring by Karchesky! Read Imaginary Daughter!

Supernaturals Presents

If you like stories where the supernatural encroaches upon what we know as the normal world, and science fiction sneaks in and jumps out of corners, then Supernaturals Presents is for you. Bestial men, ruthless business, unlikeable villains (one with a monocole!), buxom villainesses, and a whole lot of nefarious schemes which (I believe) will all wrap up into one plot... things just get more astonishing (and delightful) as you go along. Really amazingly fantastic black and white art (we could all learn a thing or five), and the whole comic has a kind of pulpy noir feel although it's set in the 19th century, kind of like if 1940s detective comics writers decided to go steampunk. Don't miss it!

The MGMT

Kegass is a big fat otaku pervert slob good for nothing loser. Then he meets Jaybee and his life changes... ALL his dreams come true... and since he's a big fat otaku pervert slob good for nothing loser, that's pretty bad. Trust me.
As the new manager for an intergalactic superhero force with a bevy of willing female assistants, this dork is in heaven.

Teh Andeh is the creator of the MGMT. This comic his funny, but mature and quite... naughty. so if you're easily offended or don't like a bit of harmless puerility, stay away. Else, come right in and enjoy.

Moose Shoe

Let's welcome the first sprite comic to make a Feature, shall we? It's a nice one too, very charming with a lot of lighthearted humor. The sprites are nice and big, and the art can't get much more crisp and colorful than it already is. However, it's the entertaining mix of characters (often of inexplicable provenance) that really makes Moose Shoe shine. (Get it, shoe? shine?)

The Horribles

The Horribles... It's Rohld Dahl, the Adams Family, the Munsters, Where the Wild Things Are and so much more, all rolled into one horrible, marvellous, strange, terrible, delightful bundle and tied up with evil string!
Carolyn the creator is a fantastically talented artist and writer, you're bound to enjoy these highly entertaining and extremely diverting short stories about the ghastly gross doings of her many characters. They're funny, they're cute, they're definitely for all ages, they're just plain GOOD!

Happyface Comics

Incredibly cute, and funny too. Although a stickman 'doodle' comic, the art has expression and flair. The simple, straightforward, sometimes absurd jokes hit home nearly every time and fit perfectly with the loose and simple, though skillful, drawings. Don't pass this one up just because you think you won't like a stick figure comic!

Cubicles

Wally and Ost spend most of their lives in cubicles. In an office. On another planet.
Their co-workers are freaky aliens and their boss is eyeball -also an A-hole, so he's got both ends of the body covered without any of the messy bits in the middle. Their lives are routine and routinely hell... so pretty much like every office everywhere.
The art is smooth, stylish and extremely professional! Enjoy the fine work of Walter Ostlie (yes, the two main characters are named after him).

Lavender Legend

Princess Lavender has been banished since birth to a castle where males are forbidden. Her sheltered upbringing has left her more than a little childish. She has decided to take a special interest in her tall, raven-haired, extremely serious maid Felicia. However, Felicia does not really appreciate her ridiculous new outfit, the opportunity to beg for chocolate, or any of the extra attention... both because she is a proud person and because she has some dangerous secrets to hide. Enemies you have to be friendly to is so fun. And then things get really interesting!

Eff Eff Ex

Eff Eff Ex is a Final Fantasy X parody. If you know the FFX story/game it probably makes way more sense to you, but I don't and it's hilarious anyway! Denethor's art is frequently hyper modified for comic effect, with extremely exaggerated expressions, realism, and extremely simple styles substituted, with a lot of manga and chibi thrown in for fun. Eff Eff Ex is really very, very funny! It's a great parody, and even a great introduction to Final Fantasy X.
Read Eff Eff Ex by Denethor. Rated E.

-This is clearly a parody and not derivative. This is an original artistic work.

Terra online comic

It's probably a good thing that humanity hasn't found any other sentient life in the universe, if many sci-fi comics are anything to go by. There's always an intergalactic war going on, and the humans are usually the jerks. For example, let's take Terra: Earth is determined to win, no matter how many settlements, innocents, and resistance members it hurts along the way. The people (and aliens) trapped in this war each have stories, damaged pasts, and live in a certain amount of danger. Despite their attempts to live a relatively normal existence, they are not safe, and they have much work to do.

Slackman

Torn between watching late night women's volleyball on the telly and saving the city from the ravages of crime, Slackman dons his cape yet again so that we humble citizens can sleep safe in our beds! That's how the story begins... but it's a fantasy, the true story of Slackman is MUCH more interesting, -A depressed office worker, he's saved from a suicidal plunge by a well placed pizza van. After this life altering experience, his life begins to... alter. The story of Slackman is born. It's funny, dramatic, action filled, and well paced, with a great plot! Read it, you'll be craving pizza in no time.
New Zealander Ryan Scott is the comic master behind this black and white Marmite fuelled masterpiece. Imagine what it'd be like on Vegemite? Imagine!

Daniel Larsons Stick Man

If you think Daniel Larson's Stick Man is going to be a serious, action-packed superhero comic, then maybe you missed the part where StickMan has a grotesque yellow head and a deadpan wit. Also, ever since he was sent 10 years into the future, he's lost his powers and can't remember anything. So, instead of being cool and saving the city, he follows around the real heroes and tries not to cause too much trouble. Things change, of course, and it turns out the heroes have plenty of trouble on their hands anyway... and Stick Man may be the only one who can save them all.

The Rose Killer

Noire. That's a good word for The Rose killer. It's a black and white tonal comic about the grey areas of life and death in a big grey metropolis. Murder is the theme and a certain detective has to unravel them. The rose is the clue. Set in 1920's New York, this is a story of murder most foul during the era of prohibition, when the mob and the police were rival armies and the streets were their battleground.
Nicotine evokes the period nicely with her attention to detail on the period costumes and hairstyles. Her art is bold and heavy, like the atmosphere in the story. Read The Rose Killer, rated M.

Jimmy Solar and King Phantom

Jimmy Solar is an alien-dog-lookin' guy, space guy on a mission, guy with a faithful friend that says 'squeep', thorn in the bad-guy's-side kind of guy, maybe a little bit inept but knows how to make a spaceship go around and shoot lasers. That's really all that's needed for fun and adventure in space, right? Skillfully done, this comic seems like it was probably almost as much fun to draw as it is to look at. Creator ctupa is a dab hand at comics and each page is lively with expression and detail. This all-ages comic is a great read!

A Girl Called Hate

Hate- sorry, Harriet- is a girl who hates just about everything. Especially other people. Saying she's antisocial isn't doing her justice. On the one hand, you wonder why anyone bothers being nice to her... on the other, you wonder when she's going to stop being afraid of them and let them be her friends. This comic is the story of a girl who, as one reader commented, just looks too interesting to ignore. The art style seems particularly suited to this comic.

1 Dollar

This little comic does a very simple thing: it tells the story of a dollar's life. Where has that dollar been? Who has used it? For what? Aside from looking perfectly lovely, it cleverly uses storytelling elements to move the dollar's story forward one 'snapshot' at a time. Although just about the most passive character imaginable, the dollar is the focal point of the story growing around it- of places and people and events. It seems the comic itself is nearly over (should have featured it sooner!) but perhaps that means it's the perfect time to check it out so you get the whole story?

Jerk Wadz

This is a humour comic strip about the funny side of childhood. Amuse yourself at the bad things that happen to these poor kids. In a lot of ways, these situations are funny because they're often pretty true to life in some ways.
Read Jerk Wadz by fr33z3dry. Rated T+

Spacefighters on Earth

Spacefighters on Earth is about a brave bunch of fearless Spacefighters who are, get this: On the Earth! These fearless men and women strive valiantly to protect their 1950's world from that red alien menace. They fight for truth, freedom and the American (and Russian) way, by golly, and they're damn proud of it!
Well, not yet, they're just a bunch of crazy cadets in training right now, but it's funny to watch them mess up... except for that monkey, he's just plain nasty.
This Sci-Fi themed comedy strip is by Christopher Bacolo, the art is nicely stylised and it's rated E for everybody!

Denizens Attention

Alicka and Winston have to stick together, as the misfit siblings. It's because they're imperfect little brats, according to their control freak mom who hates them. They're really not that bad, just a bit nonconformist- but as punishment, their mother is about to send them to Winterkill Academy for Juvenile Delinquints- where they might just die before they ever make it home again. Don't let the light palette fool you, the story so far is pretty dark. You want a comic that's mysterious AND visually arresting? You got it. You never realized yellow was such a great color for comics.

Izzy Wanders Around and Does Stuff

Izzy is a mushroom. A magic mushroom... but not the kind that makes you hallucinate. If you saw Izzy coming towards you though, you might think that you were.
Izzy is a bad tempered, grumpy, rude, and yet loveable little guy. He was thrown out of the magic forest because of his bad attitude and now has to make his way in the big city!
Rated T+

Cerintha

Cerintha is a weak, greedy, lazy, and somewhat dense woman (and a bad soldier). Due to not too much fault of her own, she's being chased across the countryside by her former commander in the army, a madwoman with godlike powers, another madwoman with a big sword, and an inscrutable (but probably not mad) woman who can will herself to come back from the dead. Oh, the list grows. Somehow she's gained the magical protection of the sky god which surely will just get her into more trouble. It's hard to feel sorry for her when every page of this comic is so funny, though. There is a dramatic story going on here behind all the comedy- some struggling with power, others struggling with weakness, a bit of madness, a dash of betrayal, unasked-for gift-curses and even a bit of war.

Al and Scout

Al and Scout are two cats. That's as much as you need to know really, because cats are cute and amazing and funny and wonderful and everyone on the internet (who is smart), knows this. Cats are the internet mascot animal! Anyway, Ed Cho creates this hilarious and cute comic about these hilarious and cute characters, who are actually house cats, silly house cats who are just plain loveable. READ IT!

Flamines

Flamines takes place in a world of political and religious conflict. At the centre of the mess are 13 towers, build by God to protect mankind while he battles a great evil in Eden. Of course, while God is doing that, mankind is doing a pretty good job of inflicting evil and horror upon itself, mostly in the form of wars over the towers. A manga of epic scope- although still in its early pages, they are filled with family conflict, terrorism, and a pretty cool tank/mecha battle. Amazing attention to detail and an adept hand at manga techniques make Flamines a visual treat too!

Endstone

If the Endstone and the Banestone touch, they will begin the destruction of the world. Whoever possesses the Banestone becomes possessed by it and seeks that objective. Cole Montaigne is following in her father's footsteps, she WILL find the Endstone! Certain stones have power, they're wielded by those called "stoners" and wielding that power is called "rocking the stones". Repoman, the artist and writer, has a sly wit that's evident throughout Endstone. It's a retro style, Sci-Fi Fantasy comic in colour and black and white with an addictive story. Rated T+

The Adventures of Katmandi

The story starts with Eva and Katmandi (who is probably Eva's only friend in the world) robbing a tomb of some ancient artifacts. Things only get more interesting and weird from there. It seems like Eva has some kind of Quantum Leap job- only instead of being sent to strange places to make things right, it's her job to steal stuff and run away. Katmandi owes her his life but isn't so sure about all this. This charming comic looks just fantastic, all sepia and watercolors with some gorgeous backgrounds.

Eves Apple

Eve is a singer, she's loud on stage, not so much in person, unless she's around Lilith. Eve and Lilith don't really get on very well. Lesbian, transgender, drag king, transvestite, gay, straight- they're just labels. These are the people.
Eve's Apple by Christine Smith has a funky look, crisp black and white inking, expressive faces, and lots of cross-hatching for tone. The story is compelling and funny. Get into the lives of these ladies!

Rated T+

Project 217

On her way to school, Alana is kidnapped by a couple of weirdos who unlock the magical powers contained in her earrings. Now she is mixed up with a bunch of demons (some of whom think she is someone else and are trying to kill her). Don't take this "magical girl" comic TOO seriously - it's a mad, colorful, profanity-laced romp through a world of demons and danger which doesn't worry overmuch about backstory and physics. The archives use many different art styles and approaches so it's a great one for you visual people too!

Vice and Virtue

Loam is the genius behind the lovely comic Vice and Virtue! It's about her life... which includes her boyfriend and several rats. Pet rats that is- She lives in a nice place. Vice and Virtue is a full colour comedy bio comic that updates 3 times a week, Enjoy! The art work is gorgeous.

DIS

The Greek pantheon has arguably been the most entertaining and bizarre of the dysfunctional god families. DIS centers on Hades, overseer of the underworld, and how much he hates his assigned work, his demented nephew Hermes, and his new admirer. The stories are drawn in a somewhat manic art style which gives things an interesting sense of energy and immediacy, and the writing presents a fairly human (though thoroughly ridiculous) view on the gods. Hades is doting daddy to his his 3-headed pet dog, and would you believe that the sound of god-instigated love at first sight is "ping DONG"?

The Optimist

Kazimieras is 13, a boy growing up in Lithuania in the 80s. The Soviet Union is an oppressive presence, but people's attitudes to it are complex, especially Kazimieras'! He likes to dream and think the best of people. He's an optimist, and life is always good as long as you know how to live it... As long as you don't get caught by the Red Army!

The Optimist is by Kristen Gudsnuk mainly using watercolour but also other materials like plasticine. It's truly a beautiful piece of work, well worth a look! Read

The Crossroads

Jimmy Cline pulls into a small town on his motorcycle looking for a job. He finds one at The Crossroads, the town's only hotel and restaurant. Naturally he finds more there than he bargained for- it seems the town is home to a few supernatural creatures. The town is also home to a lot of good people, and this well-rounded comic is just as much about them as the ghosts in the pantry. Jimmy's first instinct is to hit the road and get away from this weird place, but he is surprised to find that these people, with all good intentions, want him to stay.

Times Like This

Time travel isn't just for Dr Who you know... A lot of other people have fun with it too. Among them is Cassie Wells, a sassy young (or old, it's a time travel thing...) woman who leads the life of a temporal tourist, hopping from period to period for the fun of it and the experience. She's not just in it for fun though, this woman has brains too!
Cassie and gang get into some funny scrapes. But who better to tell about the comic than the artist himself, Thomas Overback! Read his FAQ here for an intro:

And his cast page here to learn about the characters:

Time like this is a very humorous comic! Rated M

The People That Melt in The Rain

Laura and her mother have moved from Seattle to a place even more rainy- the village of Deluge. Laura's mom has been offered a new job at their hospital, which is probably so well-paying due to the unique nature of the rain the townspeople for some reason put up with, instead of doing the sensible thing and moving away. At first glance a semi-storybook comic for younger ages, a number of dark elements are emerging. The curious story and appealing art in this one will keep you reading!

The Ends

The world as you know it has ended. Everything has ended. Even time itself! ...sort off... Things aren't working as they should, not your body, not your mind, not civilisation, not the world, not... time. The world is almost OUT of time. Jason wakes up dead in this hellish place and if he can survive, maybe he can save it.
Surreal, sometimes funny, sometimes ghastly, The Ends is an extremely professional piece of polished work. Rated M

Traume Von Magpie

Do you feel like something a little out of the ordinary? How about the wandering (and incredibly depressing) dream imagination of Traume Von Magpie? One after another, Traume keeps dreaming. Innocent jaunts end in frightening nightmares, most of them namelessly creepy. His surreal adventures are fittingly rendered in a sort of Victorian cartoon style, among others, with several mind-bending pages worth a close study. Unique and well worth a look!

Angry D Monkey

The story of a monkey, his brother, a goddess, and a frog living on an island where things go from weird to bizarre!
This full colour comic by Keon Brown is hilarious! The island adventures of Angry D Monkey and his friends are a joy to read about. If you're anything like me, this one should keep you laughing for a while.

Rated M for merriment!
...What? I couldn't think of any other word for "funny" starting with "M". :(

Maggot Boy

Chainey is dead, but he's also alive, he doesn't know why until he meets Maggot Boy, also known as Davey, and his friend Sam, a necromancer. Davey is an "Aware", that's a zombie who can think, he works for chief Necromancer Lazaro, keeping the city safe from the mindless hordes who threaten it from the outside. Keeping the normals safe... But they're not the only awares in town and they're not all as nice as Davey.
Maggot Boy is drawn in a lovely hyper cartoony, almost Disney style by Flipsidered, who lives in the very same city as me funilly enough. Read Maggot Boy! rated T+

Robomeks

Robomeks! This stylish comic centres on 3 teenage robot mechanics whose job is surprisingly dangerous and exciting. A colorful and funny action comic with a lot of neat design moments (such as the flamenco robot who fights with his feet). In the current story, the Robomeks are called in to corral some malfunctioning music bots only to find that, of course, things are not all as they seem. A run in with a competing agency, a kidnapping, a standoff, and a high speed chase later...

Once you've read what's here on DD, there are another 75 pages of earlier material on the Robomeks website (which is linked to from the comic)!

Legend of the King

In this fantasy story (inspired by many sources), a young boy is chosen by the god to be the land's next warrior-king. Overconfident and naive, of course he manages to get into a few sticky situations, including crossing paths with the current warrior-king who doesn't really want to be replaced. He's doing his best to live up to the expectations of his family and god, but he is after all just a kid. A kid with fire magic powers. Strangely familiar art style, accessible story, and very kid-friendly.

PUTRID MEAT

This is one whose feature is long overdue... Mainly because we assumed it was done already :)
Thrash metal Bones works in the back alleys, disposing of dead bodies for serial killers. But this idyllic situation is not to last. Bones is soon thrown into all sorts of trouble, everything from vicious riots, to dip in a reservoir of human waste. Bones and his fellow inmates of this heavy metal world are thoroughly gross, base, disgusting creatures, but that's what makes them and Putrid Meat so endearing and funny.

Putrid Meat is drawn brilliantly by Pit Face, and the coloured pencil colouring really enhances the grim, gritty, grotty feel of the story!
Beware, not for the faint of heart. The title says it all. Rated M.

Sinful

Herbert is a powerful, conniving demon who loves the ladies. Unfortunately Hell wants him dead (or as close as demons get) for about 4000 years of back pay on his souls which didn't get condemned due to a technicality. As part of his escape, Herbert is stuck, powerless and human, in a village where he has to do miserable things like "work" and "get beat up by women's fiancees." An entertaining story, lively art and genuinely funny writing! Put it on your favs!

Missing days of february

In the words of Ludeshka: "...out with the old, in with nothing"
a story about the end of the end of the world.
This is an extremely interesting, dark piece of work. It's a little confusing too, but in a good way! It's about forgetfulness (the permanent kind), and death. You could almost call it Gothic. Waleran, a chubby, dorky boy grows into a thin ascetic necromancer because he wants to be a healer, but all healing magic is lost. Dimentica is a powerful force, wiping away people's memories... And the roaches must have there food!
February had 30 days. Where did the missing ones go?

Drew and Manny are two jerks who seem to have trouble getting their lives together. Neither of them gets along particularly well with the other, but circumstances being as they are, they end up working, getting fired, getting hired, and moving in together. Drew has some issues with girls and Manny has some issues with... well, he's this sort of devil guy with horns? The art is unique and eye-pleasing, the characters are fun (pathetic as some of them are)- not to be missed!

Endless Winter

Endless Winter is a dark, desperate sci-fi action story of the best kind! Lots of daring do, self sacrifice, guns blasting, double-crossing, fancy uniforms and sexy spaceships! This thing has battles, murder, revenge, drama and not much comedy, but it doesn't need it. Captain Cray and his crew of ex-pirates operate in a very hostile universe, do do what they have to, to survive.

Enjoy the detailed beautiful black and white artwork by rainingbells! Beware though, this work is on the violent side of the M rating at times.

Mystery Bread

Mystery Bread is about a crime fighting loaf of bread and his sidekick Bagel Boy! These champions of justice and right thinking people everywhere work tirelessly to foil the schemes of master criminals like "Exclamation Man!!" and to keep the general populace safe from evil forces.
In this bread themed metropolis, someone is killing the bakers, and that's BAD news for the baked goods, um people... things. They Must find the murder before it's too late!

Timeloss

As Timeloss is still pretty new, it isn't fully clear what's going on... scenes are just long enough to give a few tantalizing hints before the setting is changed and readers are dropped into a new situation. Would 'frustratingly interesting' be a good description? The art is fantastic, and enough is revealed in the writing to make a reader incredibly curious as to what's going on and what will happen next. There appears to be a number of worlds involved, some sort of tragedy, and a few particularly interesting characters- if you're a reader who likes to get in at the beginning, then Timeloss bears watching!

A Hard Boiled Detective

If you are anything like normal people, you have a fond rememberance of a specific genre of book known as Choose Your Own Adventure. A Hard Boiled Detective is a hefty slice of nostalgia-flavored cake on a modern place setting. Use links in the author's comments to make your way through the story- at the risk of ending it early! (Easy enough to backtrack though, for you cheaters.) Help Mark Jock, the best darn detective in the city, manage a new partner and solve a difficult case (and be entertained by the humor and pure fun of it). Why aren't more people doing these?

My Thingie

My Thingie is a funky cool looking funny autobiographical comic by Azerisii. It's about him, gay stuff, fun stuff, serious stuff, general stuff... But basically it just LOOKS so great and it's a really interesting way to make a journal/blog/comic/thingie about someone's life. Fancy seeing the world from the perspective of a young gay British fellow? Well now you can!

-Rated M. There IS poop. -_-

obscene cuisine

Obscene Cuisine may be a first - a webcomic for restaurant staff. If you've ever worked in one, you'll sympathize with all the good (but mostly bad) things that happen to Chef and his crew. If you've never worked in food service, you can just read the comic and feel sorry for the poor schmucks who have. The kitchen isn't a place for delicate folks and this comic is written pretty aggressively. The art is particularly nice, though it's a shame the comic can't replicate the heat, smell, or noise in back of house. No wait, it isn't. The first half of the archive is fairly rant-heavy, but they are pretty good (and the comics themselves are worth the wait).

The Carriers

In this place the last surviving carriers hide from the evil queen and her draconian regime. She denies them their magic and keeps the whole population in thrall. But rebellion is stirring, perhaps Echo and Lilly, a young carrier, Have a chance to join with the freedom fighters and find some hope of a better world?
The art is gloriously lush, in a fully painted style, and the exiting story dives straight into the action! Top fantasy comic!

London Underworld

Amelia is a rather unladylike lady, stifled by Victorian society, whose primary source of entertainment is consorting with low criminals and swindling her peers out of as much of their money as she can. She cannot abide her uncle, the family patriach (a boor and a great one for rules) but eventually her antics push him too far- and he contracts to have her murdered. Fortuitously, the man he's hired for the job is the boss of Amelia's closest lowlife friends, and she is forewarned... but will that do her any good? Funny story, charming art (with some lovely architecture/settings), and likable characters!

Bear Versus Zombies

You [i]HAVE [/i]to check out this comic. Comedy action at its most awesome! Bear must get revenge for his dead mate against the hordes of green, stinking zombies! Watch as bear fights like a big brown shaggy demon, using all the weapons he has at his disposal. I don't know what else to say about this except it'd make a cool cartoon. This is a funny cool colour action comic by Zaymac. Rated T+

The Fighting Stranger

A man finds himself in the desert, overlooking an outpost-city. Its name is the only thing he knows. This stylish post-apocalypse comic follows the fighter as he enters the city and tries to figure out who he is and just what is going on. He is joined by a curious and untrustworthy dancing robot who wants him to do a mysterious job...

Legend of Setar

Don't you love cat girls? I do. This is a world full of them!
It's a dark, stormy night. The Amana family is being slaughtered by the mysterious and savage Zara... This is a land where supernatural forces hold sway, gods intervene in the mortal realm though champions known as "Sekait". Dark things are afoot!
The strength of The Legend of Setar is the artwork, it's phenomenal, Mutation's colour skills are gorgeous. It's like looking at a jewel.

Harkovast

Harkovast is an epic fantasy tale set in a land populated by various peoples and under threat of a dark and overwhelmingly evil force. All your favorite fantasy things are here, but Harkovast is... different. Consider this: The main character seems to be a knight, getting on in years, who occasionally forgets who he is, where he is, and what's going on. Facial scars show he has not once but twice just missed having his head sliced in half (he's missing various other bits of himself too), he yells Huzzah when he runs enemies through, and on top of it all, he's got a rather unnerving lazy eye. If that doesn't inspire your confidence, I don't know what will.

Heroes by Hand

The Paper Heroes are a silly bunch of funny heroes. There's Shape, Meteor, Raven, Pirate, and others, all with there own special skills and comedic talents. There isn't much more to say about them really, it's a good looking humorous gag comic about silly superheroes. Highspeed comics has a great cartoony, bouncy style, good humour, and nice characterisation!
Rated E!

Anatta

Anatta has already made waves here on DD by being a smart, fast-paced comic with a story to tell. Many details of Anatta's word are withheld- but we do know that it's more technologically advanced than ours, and struggling with the moral dilemmas that always come with knowing just a little too much. In a world where one person can swap minds with another, identity becomes a tricky issue and people get homesick for more than a bit of land. What kind of person is Alex, a woman who rents the use of her body to others?

AyaTakeo

With their world under attack by fleets of spider ships both Aya and Takeo try valiantly to defend it. That is until Takeo is harvested by the vicious spider robots. The loss of her beloved leave Aya saddened, but determined to protect her world and her people from the spider menace, however, not all the people of her world share the same goals... Meanwhile Takeo survives as a prisoner of the Spiders.

AyaTakeo is a full colour manga style story comic by Sonia Leon and by Lloyd Prentice. Rated T+

nicola and belmondo

Nicola and Belmondo is an easygoing story about a girl who finds a little black dog sleeping on her doorstep. Both the girl and the dog are very cute. It turns out the dog doesn't have a rightful home- and although Nicole would like to keep the dog, she can't. She does however make some new acquaintances, most especially the striking Ana- who for some reason makes Nicole nervous as hell (in a good way). She smells like oranges too.

Living With Insanity

Living With Insanity is a gag comic written by David MH and currently drawn by Paul Salvi.
The strip is about a young guy called David and all the silly things that happen around him. He lives with a couple of girls as his flatmates, one's a witch. Oh, there's also a robot head and a cat. Gag comics about people's lives are pretty common on the net, but a few have something special... I love the dry humour and deadpan delivery here and David's art is super lovely! And it's Australian. :)
Rated T+

Metal Breakdown

Randy is a boy with two arms. One of them is a robot arm, which he got when his inventor father's evil partner killed his father, took over the company, and had the father's invented robot arm grafted onto the wounded son he intended to cut out of any inheritance and also leave with the medical bills. Got it? Perhaps coincidentally (or perhaps not) Randy is very interested in building robots. The result is an adorable little fellow who used to try to kill people but doesn't any more. Meanwhile, Randy's best (girl) friend from childhood returns and is already getting the mack put on her by Randy's biggest rival. Drama! Cute, funny drama!

Timothy Green

Tim is a poor little turtle. He's newly hatched and hankerin' for the sea! His little instincts tell him to push for the big blue ocean but no matter what he does or how hard he tries, he just can't seem to stay there for long!

This story is only just developing here, but I hope you'll look forward as much as I do to seeing how things progress and seeing if poor little Timothy ever does find his home in the sea.

This is a beautiful, charming tale. It's funny and cute. rated E for everybody!

Good Taste

Not everyone likes comics with a gritty story, huge plot, and message to send. Simpler comics just about people and their lives are also appealing (especially if they have art as pretty as Good Taste's). This is obviously a character-driven comic - they have clear, believable, interesting personalities and relationships and most of the story so far is about them interacting with each other. There's more to tell here which will be got to in its own good time- that may seem slow to some, but others may appreciate the lighter tone and the feeling that the writing hasn't been overworked. Mainly, it's just fun to read.

The Hub

The Hub.
There's this poor GUY, he's just out to have some fun, you know? Maybe meet a nice chick, go back to her place and have some MORE fun... But it doesn't work out that way. Instead he ends up drinking all night and wakes up in a strange place, like you do. Except this is REALLY the wrong place. Maybe the wrong universe!
He ended up at the hub. And met some great people.

Beautifully, painstakingly detailed! Hyena Hell's work is reminiscent of the master etchers and draughtsmen of the 18th and 19th century. The story is a trip: Through Alice's looking glass into place that's strange, and yet strangely familiar.

Blood Reign and Devil Jack

Is 'superhero horror' a genre? Blood Reign and Devil Jack takes you back to the '90s indy comic days when the shelves were stocked with fresh takes and new experiments in style and content. It may remind you of Spawn with its demons, curses, and supernatural powers. Most pages are lushly colored using traditional media- and the black and white pages are so skillful you won't miss the colors. Fantastic art, a wide array of strange and interesting characters, and loads of action- don't miss out.

Despotize

Despotize, a company founded by the worlds greatest scientists has a dark secret. Their normal business is a front for their real intentions. Run by a madman whose ambitions are unknown, it's up to to a kid with hidden powers to take them down. Zero is a young man with surprising fighting prowess and physical strength, but does he have what it takes to prevail against the forces of Despotize? Enough to prevail against those who are like him and once his friends?
ShinuZero, the comic creator, has a dynamic, free and easy, rough style. Despotize is an action manga style comic and really benefits from this loose style.
Rated T+

Acrobat

After the vigilante Blackhawk dies, his sidekick Canary (Wade) is left mentorless and super-wealthy. Wade isn't sure what to do with his life now. He resented being Canary but it's all he knows... so rather than do something sensible, he dons a new costume (Acrobat), subjects himself voluntarily to public high school, and tries to keep himself busy. Superteams don't want him, his schoolmates don't like him, and he just can't decide whether he's doing the right thing. A fun array of heroes and villains, Deadpool-like comebacks, engaging art and more-than-just-superhero story make this comic tops! The art is rough the first few pages, but vastly improves very quickly, so steady on.

Tozzer

Tozzer! It's a funny, well drawn, nice looking little humour comic. This is how the authors describe it:
Welcome to the world of Tozzer! Whether you're a fan of films, games, TV shows or pop culture in general, you'll find something to love in this sick, twisted, land of opportunity.
That's pretty accurate. It's quite funny and takes a few well aimed swipes at various things from movie making, video games, even to humour webcomics! I think you'll agree that this is a tasty treat. It's on the short side too so it won't overwhelm you at this stage. ;)

Daqueran

Daqueran is a handsome fellow (and a bit of a jerk) who travels the lands slaying dragons, bathing in springs, brushing off girls, doing deeds for unicorns, chatting it up with naked sirens, and carrying around his companion Tik (a tiny, adorable chameleon octopus). The comic is in its early days so the story is still developing but it's clear there's a war brewing with the dragons, a fearsome and well-drawn lot. This classic fantasy comic is gorgeously illustrated digitally and with watercolors. Each fantasy creature has been individually designed, often with a refreshing take on the standard.

Novusgenesis Hype

Humanity fights its last global war to decide which evolutionary road it will follow... Darkness or Light. And a mysterious woman will become the new messiah!
Novusgenesis Hype is an awesome future war Sci-Fi action comic featuring battle scenes, funky mecha, wry humour and one of the sexiest heroines on Drunk Duck! This is one exciting, good looking, hardcore piece of eye and mind candy. Mostly a "guy" comic though so beware. Translated from the original Spanish by its creator Scorpious (Rigo Jimenez), Novusgenesis Hype is well past due for featuring!
Rated M

Hatpire

Hatpire doesn't pretend to be anything other than a cute wordless comic about the adventures of a vampire who wears a hat- which is what makes it so enjoyable. Hatpire has many rather tame dreams and adventures (such as becoming a pimp-pire, building a treehouse, visiting Gramp-pire, and the story of how he got his hat), two good friends in hat-cat and plague-doctor-bird-guy, and of course a great hat. It's all guaranteed to be very adorable.

Kung Fu Komix

Stylish and fun, Kung Fu Komix is an hilarious retro-tastic martial arts actionfest. It has krak, punch, bamm, boom, and DOOM. Curtis and Luis save Alex from ninjas, and decide to help him rescue his girlfriend from the bad guys, who just happen to have an army of ninja and are themselves kung fu masters. Will Kung-Fu Town ever be the same again???! You down? Like a mamma-jamma! Really, I'm not kidding about it being hilarious.

Retake

Brad Stone, world-famous actor, goes from movie-hero to the real thing overnight. As he starts down his path as Relik, a dark superhero with a past shrouded in mystery, he quickly discovers the consequences - and risks - that come with his new-found abilities, and that nothing, not even victory, is guaranteed when there are no "retakes".

Retake is a very exciting and dark superhero comic done by both SympleSymon and MrHades. It features a surfeit of action and heroic deeds.

Mastorism

Mastorism is a universe run by the billion-year-old Phantom Lord, a guy with amazing powers and a fiery head. He's brought peace and prosperity to the planets in his universe, with the help of his Mastor police force (who are essentially all the other people in the universe with special powers). Suddenly, all the universe's planets are tapped of their energy and a certain Phantom Lord and his Mastors are disinclined to help. Things are not looking good...

Spitfire

This is a manga style comic about a young Spitfire pilot in WW2 and the crisis of concious he has about the war, killing, and his part in it. The art is mostly grey tones and it looks really good! The planes are drawn beautifully and the action pics are cool. It's interesting to see British WW2 pilots as manga shounen and the story style reminds me more of something from WW1 in feel. In all it's good looking work with few panels on each page so the art is nice and big, and it's a pleasant, easy read.
Rated T+. read [url=http://www.drunkduck.com/Spitfire][b]Spitfire[/b][/url]

featuring Talking Guinea Pigs

Jeremy was voted by his classmates as the most likely to die alone in space, his mother isn't very supportive, and his supervisor is a cruel and unreasonable bastard. This makes being an astronaut kind of hard. Escaped (in a way) into a land of strange-talking giants, he has no idea what is in store for him next. Featuring bright and colorful art, funny characters- and cute guinea pigs.
