Ah damn, I have too many. I'll try to limit it to 5 or so ^^;

Legend of Maxx
This sprite-comic is based on Terraria and follows the
misadventures of the protagonist and chosen one, Maxx (who is a lovable dullard) who could be the saviour of the world, or the destroyer of it
or a bowl of two goldfish. On his quest, he makes friend with his guide, an ale-creating fairy, a nurse, and a few other characters, including a sadistic dryad named June. The comic is made using actual Terraria sprites accompanied by photoshop, so the art stays true to the look and feel of the game. Additionally, though most comics are limited by a 2D plane of existence, LoM turns this into a joke on several occasions and uses it as an effective recurring gag. Unfortunately, this comic is prone to hiatuses and has an inconsistent update schedule. I'd say its worth it though. I give it an 8.5/10.

No Need For Bushido
Love historically accurate comics? Great! Don't read NN4B though! This comic is quite possibly one of the most entertaining comics I've read. The art starts off a bit horribly, but trust me; it gets a WHOLE lot better halfway through. I'm not gonna lie, it's actually been a while since I've read it (I guess that means binging-time is coming) so I'm not entirely sure what's remained the same and what's changed, but I'm fairly certain that the author has maintained their amazing story-telling throughout since my leave. I should note that, while the comic is set in feudal Japan, it in no way remains historically accurate; think Matrix-esque westerners, oversized swords, and so many jokes that probably wouldn't work in the Japanese language. Nonetheless, the comic is incredibly well written, doesn't use racist stereotypes to characterize the characters, and has a well-paced storyline with characters you will love, hate, and sometimes feel a confusing mixed feeling of both love and hate. (Oh, forgot to mention, it has really well-thought-out comedy that doesn't remind you of your dad's terrible jokes!) 9/10

This comic... Oh boy, where do I start? Think Homestuck, but much more refined and with less disturbing content. The characters are adorable and just so freaking wholesome. Honestly, this served as a great deal of inspiration for my own comic (alongside Homestuck itself). The art has an adorable MSPA feel about it and sort of reminds you of Undertale at some parts in the way it is presented. Unfortunately, It's most recent update was around 2 months ago and has had no news as to what's happened. Hopefully, it's just an accidentally unannounced hiatus, but one can't help but fear the alternative. The comic creatively manipulates its medium/platform and takes advantage of preconceptions you may have had (especially if you've read Homestuck). 8/10.

Heart of Keol
I only recently started reading this one. I'll have to admit: I'm incredibly biased toward this series on a cultural level
(대한민국, 회이팅!) So I'll try to remain neutral for the time being. The story is set up incredibly nicely with a heart-wrenching flash-back which returns a few times to torment the protagonist: Ethan. What I find most interesting about this comic is the colourization of speech/thought bubbles to reflect certain languages. The comic regularly shifts between English and Korean (textually) so, instead of actually changing the scripting, the colour behind the text changes to show when a certain language is used. The art is stunningly pulchritudinous and really works to set the desired mood for each frame. The story is an "Isekai" tale (ironically) with fantasy lore that is gently introduced to you in a natural way, rather than it being shoved down your throat as SOME stories do (I'm looking at you, poorly crafted Wattpad fantasy fics). Overall, so far, I've thoroughly enjoyed what I've read, but it should be noted that this comic was originally written in Korean, so translation gets a bit iffy now and then (S's often appear as Sh's and the such). Please don't take my word as gospel for how good it is, I've barely been reading it for a week ^^; Please try it out for yourself! My own rating lands 8.5/10.

What kind of narcissist would I be if I didn't include my own comic? Honestly, not sure how I'd judge it from a critical standpoint, but I'm pretty proud of it, compared to my previous web-comic attempts (feel free to ask me about that over some coffee or tea. I'll end up crying). My main concern is that I've created an ugly baby and I'm looking at it through the eyes of a loving mother, but so far people seem to like it so far so I'm pretty confident I did do a good! Iunno, give it a read yourself, tell me what you think! As far as personal judgement goes, I'd give it a 7/10. Maybe 8, for solid effort

Oh gosh... that turned into a rant. Sorry about the text-vomit that lies above ^^;
Sorry for the long post!
Take care and peace out!

"..." My other favorite comic has to be Castoff though, it's a masterpiece
Now I must go find my brains because I think they're addled or something and I need them to function. I should probably stop typing and just go to sleep...yes that's a good idea. I should really do that.
