Ethelred Unraed's Journal: Online comic: Academy X

I came across Academy X a little while back. It's an online graphic novel of sorts. At first I was put off by the rather amateurish artwork, but the story is surprisingly interesting and fun, I think.

What'ch'all think of it? Personally I'm eager for the next installment, but given the...rather slow...pace of the previous installments (he apparently averages around two a year), I may have to wait a while. *sigh*

Any other ongoing online comics y'all read, aside from the blindingly obvious?

Leisure Town is a god among online strips

Everything else is shit. Unfunny repetitive shit. Who can fuck with Pussy Driven [leisuretown.com]?

Several

I recently came across Schlock Mercenary [schlockmercenary.com], which has a nifty sci-fi storyline and five years of daily updates. This link is to the first day; the art improves, honest.

Bruno [brunostrip.com] is also a long-running comic, with an indescribably semi-functional main character. Strangely beautiful, but it takes some work to slog through all nine years. Again, the link is to the first comic.

And, of course, you shouldn't miss one of the most offensive opening scenes ever in a comic, (dis)courtesy of Something Positive. [somethingpositive.net]

I am a webcomic fiend

Academy X and Schlock Mercenary look pretty good. I have heard of Schlock Mercenary but I never read it before.

Here is my list:
Megatokyo [megatokyo.com]
Penny-Arcade [penny-arcade.com]
Sinfest [sinfest.net]
8-Bit Theater [nuklearpower.com]
Ctrl-Alt-Del [ctrlaltdel-online.com]
Wapsi Square [wapsisquare.com]
Applegeeks [applegeeks.com]
UserFriendly [userfriendly.org]

There are a few others I read once in awhile (Real Life, Errant Story, PvP), but those are the ones I read regularly.

I'm currently going through the past 18 months of Sinfest, as I was remiss in my webcomic reading for the last while. Dare I say, there is nothing cuter than the Pooch/Percy comics, except, of course, for juvenile penguins.

sinfest has lost some of it's regularity. like tatsuya has gotten a 'real job' or something.

I like http://ozyandmillie.org/ [ozyandmillie.org] for its ... well, I like Ozy. And his dad.

I like http://www.countyoursheep.com/ [countyoursheep.com] for Ship the Sheep, and the cuteness that ensues.

I've been following http://earthsongsaga.com/ [earthsongsaga.com] for a while now; fascinating story so far.

And for fun, http://friendlyhostility.com/ [friendlyhostility.com] about 2 guys who are kinda sorta together but not, and their slave "bootsie" and recently, the daemon who lives in their bathroo

Something Positive Questionable Content Least I Could Do Sluggy Freelance The Phantom Scary-Go-Round The Order of the Stick

*That* Adam Cadre?

[Tomble]

He writes webcomics now? *boggle* I wonder how long he's been doing that for?

Anyway, in answer to your question, I mostly read

• Wigu [wigu.com]
• Scary-Go-Round [scarygoround.com]
• Freefall [purrsia.com] when I remember
• BOB!!!! [angryflower.com] :)

Also read Sluggy Freelance a bit, but it's rather obvious and frankly I'm finding it rather annoying nowadays. I started reading it a few years ago because it's a good yarn, and now he's repeatedly trying to make political points, and he's pretty damn crap at it. Oh ok, maybe that's because he's satirising for the other

Everything else I read has been mentioned but...

Piled Higher and Deeper [phdcomics.com], tales of graduate students. Painfully funny for those of us who've spent any time at all in the academy...
