Webcomics I Like Part 1
6 years ago
The internet as a whole has changed a lot of aspects of everyday life. We can stream music on sites like Pandora, watch videos on YouTube, enjoy a film or TV show on Netflix and Amazon Prime, even dinner is one click away. Another thing we can thank the web for is the existence of webcomics. Without further ado here are a few webcomics I have come across that I find fascinating and that I feel you should check out. *Note that I am not including furry or Korean webtoons because those are lists for the future*.
My first pick goes to Paranatural by Zack Morrison. Meet Maxwell Puckett, a tween who moves with his widowed, hilarious father and his younger sister Zoey to the town of Mayview. On his first day of school events transpire that lead to Max running into the Paranatural Activity Club. The purpose of the ‘club’ is to protect the balance of the paranatural world and to hang out in general. The series features cool ghost-busting powers and anime influences. You can find it here: http://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-1
The next one is the constructed world of Overside by Evan Dahm. It’s not just one webcomic but three comic series and a collection of short stories all set in a surreal fantasy universe called Overside. Riceboy is an experiment in surrealism involving a quest. Order of Tales involves a storyteller on a quest to uncover the history of his world and stop and save the world in a unique heroes journey. Lastly there is Vattu which is in it’s final book and follows the titular character as she is taken to an empire of dogs that resembles Rome. The races of this universe are not elves, dwarves or humans but more unique species than your standard fantasy world. Have fun: http://www.rice-boy.com/
Here’s another high fantasy webcomic I found but I have not gone too far into it yet. This time it also has some minor modern elements in it too. Unsounded by Ashley Cope is the story of a girl with a lion tail and her zombie protector (it’s complicated) traveling from Sharteshane to the West to settle a score. On the way they come across a horrible sight. The magic system is unique and is said to resemble computer coding. I should warn all that this story involves villains that harm children and is not suitable for anyone sensitive to that subject. If that doesn’t bother you too much give it a read: http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsoun.....1/ch01_01.html
What do you get when you cross a martial arts flick with the Elder Scrolls lore, Some horror elements, a little bit of Dungeons and Dragons, Indian, Chinese and Japanese mythology? You get the massive sprawling world that is Kill Six Billion Demons by Tom Parkinson-Morgan. While she was about to loose her virginity, coffee barista and sorority sister Allison W. Ruth and her boyfriend are unexpectedly separated and transported to a different world. She finds herself in a strange place called Throne while her boyfriend is captured. She and a demon friend she meets on the way go across the multiverse to rescue him. Throughout
The comic Allison along with the reader learn of the Universe that the webcomic takes place in. Your journey starts here: https://killsixbilliondemons.com/co.....ons-chapter-1/
Lastly I bring you the newest addition to this list. It starts off as a gag-a-day comic slowly turns into a horror story and then into a battle Shonen series quick. It also stars copyrighted cartoon characters with changed names. Say hello to Scoob and Shag from Mysteriekrew. It turns out that those cartoon characters we watch are actually extraterrestrials hailing from planet Toone. The Toons have this power they can tap into called ballyhoo which gives them unique abilities. They Toons are at war with another alien race. Echoes of Dragon Ball Z and Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure can be felt through the comic. There is also a hint of Junji Ito as well. I know it has fanfic written all over it but I believe it’s done well and is better than your typical fanfic.
