I’m laid up with a severely broken ankle and leg, and will be laid up for God knows how long. I wanna read webcomics, but I feel like I’m running out of good ones on Webtoon. Anyone have any recommendations or sites to look at?
Unironically Homestuck if you’re going to be in bed for a few weeks
I’ve heard good things about Homestuck. Isn’t it interactable? I don’t have my laptop, so it’d need to be compatible with mobile until my parents bring over my computer.
Sluggy Freelance is one of the longest running webcomics in the world, and I think it is the longest running one where the author makes a living from it.

Astral Aves sort of stopped updating a while back, but what there is of it is absolutely amazing.
Kill Six Billion Demons is my favorite right now. Gorgeous, sprawling, complex artwork from start to finish, philosophically interesting, bordering on pretentious but I love it. I sometimes read this one while wearing my VR headset to properly examine certain pages close up.
Johnny Wander is the homepage for an incredible artist/writer duo. I’ve really been enjoying their latest story Barbarous, but their archives are a bit of a pain to navigate to find the starting point for each story. Worth the pain though.
Octopus Pie has been over for a few years but is always worth returning to. Woman lives in New York, people are weird, and New York has a lot of people. Reading this one will make you feel good, Do Not Skip.
Sleepless Domain is an interesting one, generally a cutesy story with an anime, leaning towards chibi art style but focused around a set of brutal murders that happen towards the front end of the story and the survivor’s guilt that follows.
Gunnerkrigg Court is hard for me to describe but gets a re-read from me every few years. A surreal examination of why we tell stories and The Power Of Friendship? It’s been going so long that I half suspect it’s not going anywhere and is just an excuse to keep chugging for as many years as its author needs it to, and also half suspect it’s imminently ending in the next few months. I don’t think I really have a problem with it either way; it’s written very well.
I also want to add Questionable Content. Someone else mentioned it before but I think it needs linking to. It’s one of the first webcomics I picked up so it’s hard for me to judge it fairly, but even having evolved so much since the early days I think there’s something to love about every stage of its development. It was just easy reading about hipsters listening to music and drinking coffee, and then somewhere along the way it became a sci-fi story too and goodness I love it.
