Web Comics

Once a geek, always a geek. Yes, I love comics. I don't really collect them much anymore (families tend to get in the way of all that extra cash lying around the house doing nothing you know!) but I love the art form. I've recently discovered a few on-line comics that I read as regularly as the ones in the paper.

Dork Tower is currently the only comic I still collect. I've met John several times at Origins and he is a great guy. Buy his stuff!

Irregular WebComic is one of the most consistently published web comics I have found. Legos, Star Wars and Role Playing - what more can you ask for?

Girl Genius - Phil Foglio has taken his fun SteamTech comic and put it on-line. A great rollicking fun read. And he draws girls nice too!

Gossamer Commons -What happens when you see a fairy without it's glamour - but only because you saved her life? Marked for death, yet protected by those sworn to kill him until he writes the great american novel. An intriguing idea and a good read.

Legostar Galactica - another Lego comic - and pretty good to boot. I can't decide who I like more, Gary the Giant Space Squid, or Ensign Red Shirt.

Something Positive isn't for everyone - definitely not for small children. A sick, twisted slice of life - one of the reasons I like it.

Sluggy Freelance has monsters, cloners, slackers, cute girls and demons. And a bunny that will slit your throat if you piss him off. Fun Times!

Real Life - another good strip - not as twisted as some, but just as geeky. Beware The Shirt Ninja!

The Pet Professional - A hitman - but only for your pets. Keep you dogs out of this guys yard!

Larry Leadhead - a fun strip about the games in all of us.

Sanity Check - Fun with Joshua and Hope, and their neighbor Mistress Kitten. The Techno-Wednesdays are fun.

Turn Signals on a Land Raider - The best Warhammer 40K parody I've found. Check it out.

Nodwick - Adventures of the world's greatest Henchman - and his inept adventurer employers.

Full Frontal Nerdity - Four Geeks. No Lives. Roll for Iniative

Queen of Wands - A quirky little strip about a girl in Denver and her friends. A really great read. The only bad part is it is over, done, kaput. But check the archives - it's worth it. And she is running the rapid fire re-runs with commentary - even more fun.

/usr/bin/w00t I'm too old (geek though I may be) to do 'netspeak' or whatever this is (I get /usr/bin as an old Unix guy but w00t is I have no clue) - but it is truly funny. I love the LARP stuff! Unfortunately this one is also no longer being produced.

The Call of Whatever - A great sendup of Cthulu and those who take it a little too seriously. Unfortunately, also now no longer being done.
