Hi friend!!     

Quote from: kringle on Mar 12, 2026, 05:48 AMand a webcomic you absolutely must must read if u haven't already is kill six billion demons, it's a long running epic that i think is close to wrapping up its final arc. if you love comics where theres ten bijillion things on the screen this is it this is where its at.

Funny you should recommend this.
Take a look what I have in my shelf.


I'll definitely binge through those webtoons, thank you! I feel like a lot of the really juicy comics out there are usually hidden away on obscure websites that only those in the artist's fan base would know about. Like I remember seeing that cute gamer cat webcomic that would come out periodically, but since I never knew the name of it, I'd only ever see it if there was a strip popular enough to invade my feed.

Was Kaiji the manga where the first chapter is the mc going into a gambling hall and plays mahjong? I think I've read a little bit of that before, but the mangaka's art style is just iconic. I feel like those I'd love to read in physical form over online, sort of like how I prefer reading the manga Lone Wolf and Cub over online.

Quote from: krzchn「c」 on Mar 11, 2026, 02:07 PMon a more indie side of things, i'm excited to read more of a webcomic called Anniversary by Elle Shivers,

This looks art looks delectable, I'll definitely give this a read in the morning.

Honestly as for genres, I read pretty much anything and everything. The issue is that most of the manga I've been seeing lately have been isekais and it's been difficult finding a lot of good gems in media. I've explored a little of the independent comic book scene through image, topcow and so on, but even my exposure to webtoons are usually dungeon related or video games.

I really love fantasy, but slice of life with more adult themes are always a yes please, like Real Clothes.

Quote from: jude on Mar 16, 2026, 02:27 AMHello I am also loves webcomics. Sorry ashanti i know you wanted to talk about manga.

Webcomics work too! I love those as well.
I need to go through these and reply properly, I've been way too busy the last few days.

Hello I am also loves webcomics. Sorry ashanti i know you wanted to talk about manga. i think ive already told you you should read Mob Psycho 100. its the only manga i care about. but what if webcomics?

I 100% second Kringle's rec for Kill Six Billion Demons. incredible art incredible story. added bonus its an isekai so basically you have to read it now.

Paranatural is also one of my big favorites!!! Been reading it since at least 2014. I unfortunately fell off when it switched formats because the long pages were too much to read at a glance, but it still holds a special place in my heart.

As for my own favorites... oh boy.

• Snarlbear - ISEKAI AGAIN!! Girl falls into a silly magical world and becomes an overpowered monster killing machine. but what if... killing monsters.... makes her a monster......... This one is finished (rare) and i find the story and the message to be very charming.
• Tiger Tiger - Can't praise this one enough. Beautiful hand inked pages. Weird girl obsessed with sea sponges steals her brother's ship, discovers lesbianism, wins the heart of her brother's crush, and keeps an ancient apocalyptic deity as a pet.
• Kings Of Sorts - Sprawling magical adventure where the protagonists are all traumatized as hell but trying to be nicies anyways. Really cool blend of sci-fi and fantasy elements.
• Vainglorious - Breathtaking art from page one. Naughty dragon gets turned human for his hubris and collects friends on a quest to regain his...dragonmanity?
• Soil That Binds Us - A really cool comic with a very unique art style! The veil between life and death is torn and it turns kids into freaks! thank god they have a very humane facility to put the children in. (it is not humane)

Also I am maybe biased because they host my comic, but SpiderForest is a comics collective that hosts lots more cool and up and coming webcomics! I've found a lot of my new favorites there. But then I started reading like 20 comics at once and got overwhelmed and stopped reading almost everything... oops.

Wazzup my name is Jude.

I've never participated in a forum before but I left all my social media this year and am attempting to step into the "small web." I thought it would be nice to dippy my toes in this fun little community :)

My creative focus these days is less on improving my craft and more on keeping up with my own hubris. I draw a webcomic. I write historical fiction about queer monks. I've started to dabble in essays. I make websites sometimes. My list of WIPS is long and frankly frightening to behold.

I like to talk about indie comics, movies, music, and the middle ages!!!!!!!! Also i have six pet rats.
