Top 5 Webcomics You Never Miss But Aren't Well known

[NoahRodenbeek]

more, there must be more.  I spent my entire day reading Freak Angles and Zom-Ben, but those have been the only two that have completely captivated me so far.  Who has more suggestions like that? 

Obscure, inde, mainstream, whatever, if it's something you have to read every day, let's hear about it.

Okaaaayyyy.

Let's see...


Union of Heroes is the best photocomic I've seen. Interesting and very well formatted. Plus a fun story.

Bear Nuts by Alison Acton is really great. I've been trying to get her over here with no luck. She used to be on the Webcomics.com forum.

The last I can think of to recommend is Paradigm Shift but I'm not going to link that one as his server has been infected by some kind of Keylogger virus. The comic is really great and it was even in the background of a couple of "Heroes" TV show episodes. Also the creator Dirk I Tiede is a pretty nice guy (met him a couple years ago). Apparently until the issue is resolved he is updating to two other sites and has transferred his archive but you would have to Google Paradigm Shift and find those alternate sites yourself. If he has a virus I'm not linking anything of his from here right now.

There are of course lots of cool comics to read here as well. 80+ members and counting.  ;D

I honestly have no idea how many people read Digger, but there it is. Certainly everyone's heard of the LOL WUT pear the artist is responsible for.

I find Shark Attack as funny as it is ridiculous.

OK, I'll add one: Batman and Sons, a sort-of fan comic in which Batman is a dad to three versions of Robin, drawn in the animated Batman style. No idea how popular it is. It's not really a traditional webcomic, being a livejournal comic and therefore obnoxious to navigate, but I love it so much I'm willing to forgive that. If you're a fan of the DC superheroes, you will likely love it too.

Let's see, I think I can come up with a few more...

Skin Horse, that's reasonably popular but I can't start my day without it because it's precisely my brand of weird.
The Crown Prince is a lot of fun, possibly mainly because I'm a parent.
I'm immensely fond of Compass, a trans-dimensional adventure.
Oh, and Shrub Monkeys never fails to make me smile.

There, that's five!

Digger's fairly well read and Ursula (the artist/writer of Digger) is wonderfully fun in person. She's actually got a children's book out now as well as a few other things.

I've never heard of it and want to check Digger out but I'm getting a virus warning about the site... so maybe some other time.  :-\

Minus, though it's over. :(

Mr. Normal, I love the tone of this comic.

I don't know how well read this one is, but: Sister Claire is just great and I think it deserves more readers. Shame about the creator's health problems. I hope it gets better for her. :(

Again, don't know how popular it is, but I really love The Book of Biff, which is a single page comic which brightens my day every day. If I could program, I would make a program that would automatically go to this website and take the latest Biff and put it on my laptop's background.

Last but not least, Max vs. Max a new comic by the creator of You'll Have That, which I counted as the 'Mad About You' of webcomics, whatever that may mean to you.

Honorable mention: General Protection Fault. This is honorable mention because I stopped reading it myself about a year ago (I just didn't manage to keep up with it for a while, and then I lost where I was and haven't had the time to actually find it back again).

[JGray]

Sister Claire rocks. It has done well for a freshman (one year or less old) comic. Probably the best in her class, so to speak.

[GaborBoth]

 I read Nedroid, Bear and Tiger, Butterfly, Kinokofry, Here there be Robots that are not big guns... Though Kinokofry and Here There be Robots didn't update for a good while.
I dislike going through collections, looking for gems in the sea of crap. By the way, if I heard about it, it must not be that unknown, and good stuff becomes known eventually.

Minus, though it's over. :(

Minus was great. It was nice to see an actual hand-painted comic, too. Was sad when that one stopped updating.

All Knowledge is Strange.

No idea how popular or unpopular it is since it isn't on ProjectWonderful. Worth a bizarre chuckle quite frequently.

Sorry, the rest that I read are fairly well known.

[Funderbunk]

I can't believe I forgot Odd Fish. Hilariously punny.

EDIT: Thanks for that link, dugs. All Knowledge is Strange is quite hilarious.

Again, don't know how popular it is, but I really love The Book of Biff, which is a single page comic which brightens my day every day. If I could program, I would make a program that would automatically go to this website and take the latest Biff and put it on my laptop's background.

I'm going to guess that Biff isn't that small since they have mainstream ads on their site. However, I'd like to second this vote as a great comic.

The War of Winds: Continuing in Pete's "people who live nearby me" theme, KEZ does a wonderful comic with great art and a nice take on fantasy worlds.

1977: A great romp in a great year, featuring a band that just can't get off the ground, mainly because they can't get off the couch. Lots of drug humor and fanservice, but always very funny.

The Konamis: Way back when webcomics.com was still a forum, I chatted with these two guys a lot. It's about a band that is called in, James Bond-style, to deal with various baddies.

Union of Heroes: The photo comic that sets the bar for photo comics. A man is pulled from his ordinary life to a world where his counterpart had superpowers. Now he has them.

Johnny Saturn: A very well drawn superhero comic about the central character, Johnny Saturn, an aging superhero who won't give up on anything.

Runner-Up: The Cow: Only a runner-up because he is on the board now, and therefore you should be checking out his comic, anyways!

[Rob]

Oh I forgot about Johnny Saturn! I tried to get Scott (Story) to come by the forums and I didn't have much success which is a shame because I liked talking with him on the old Webcomics.com site.

Still I like the comic enough that I need to catch up on it. Thanks for the reminder.  ;)
