These are links to comics I enjoy regularly and can recommend as worth your time.

A Modest Destiny, by Sean Howard. A unique comic; Mr. Howard manages to keep the story funny, the characters strange, and the readers laughing. . . and he does it every day. That's right a new comic every day. Oh, and he draws it himself.

Demonology 101, by Faith Erin Hicks. I think she won some web comic awards not too long ago. Not at all surprising; her artwork, story, and characters are captivating. I suggest starting from the beginning as there's a lot of story.

Electric Sheep, by Patrick Farley. When I found this site I literally stayed up to 3am looking at everything. He draws beautiful, colorful comics in an unusual side scrolling configuration. Check out Spiders and Delta Thrives first, or Apocamon if you're interested in the end of the world.

Megatokyo, by Fred Gallagher. Ph34r t3h cute ones! If you've ever wondered how to survive in Tokyo with your paranoid buddy, your angel, a sexy PS2 accessory, and no money check this out. Very clean art and loads of imagination

Wapsi Square, by Paul Taylor. I absolutely love his style; it looks so effortless. His characters are the driving force behind this comic and you'll really grow to love them. Updates every other week day.

Kagerou, by Luka Delaney. This was the one that got me hooked on web comics. When your main character not only looks like a girl but has a couple extra personalities hanging around, you might stop there. But she didn't. There is a TON of story behind this beautiful comic.

Wings of Change, by Mariette S. Rose. I don't know if she intended ALL the main characters to have wings. . . but it works. A fantasy comic with a lot of heart and lovable characters.

 

The following aren't necessarily comics but if you're here you'd probably be interested in what they have to offer.

 

I really admire Scott McCloud. If you're interested in comics in any way his two books Understanding Comics and Reinventing Comics are practically required reading. You might have run across one or more of those "24 Hour" comics, he invented the idea. His examples of Zap, in which you read by scrolling down were a big influence on the current structure of my own comic.

Gary Ham's style is just beautiful. His illustrations are colorful and full of energy.

It turns out I was a big fan of Sam Liu's Roughneck: Starship Troopers Chronicles TV show long before I knew he made it. His artwork is on my "must see" list.

They've, uh, got a lot of comics....nuff said.
