More webcomics!

In case you somehow forgot, I read a lot of web comics. Well, in the last month or two, there's been a few additions and changes.

First off, the list is now at 49. I remember when I knew the web addresses for each webcomic I read. Now I'm lucky if I can remember half of them...

Second, there's been a few comics removed from the list:

Resident Life: Its been down for a while now, and it is showing no signs of coming back up.

D+pad: DOA. Its basically dead too.

Reality Glitch: It wasn't very good to begin with, and it never got better. Its a shame, but what you gonna do?

Movie Comics: Unfortunately, this one ended. Its actually sad, because this was one of the best webcomics out there, and now its gone :(.

Bob and NYM: Stopped updating a while ago, and no signs it will start back up.

*throws old comics out the window*

Now, there's been some changes to the "new comic days" for some of the strips:

Ctrl+Alt+Del: M/W/F -> M/W/F/Sa

RPG World: M/F -> M/W/F

Mac Hall: M/F -> Occasionally (<1/week)

Warbucket: M/W/F -> Occasionally (about 2/week)

Now, finally, new Comics!

Note about notation: Fiction means the comic is story based, non-fiction means its based on current events, full of one shots, and semi-fiction means it has some story arcs, but only 4-5 comic ones usually. Most of these are 1 or 2 shots about current events.

College Roomies From Hell: 9/10. Fiction, Superhero. This is a rather old one, one that I had looked a few times, but didn't like the art. Well, the art got a lot better, and, despite what you may think given the title, this is more of a superhero comic. Except not. Its got a great storyline, once you get a few months in, and is well worth a read. BTW: there's about 4-5 years of archives.

Basil Flint: 7/10. Fiction, Dectective, Humor. This is about a detective who lost his wife/partner on a case many years ago, started to drink, and in the current day he's starting to get his life back together while staring through the bottom of a glass. It isn't exactly film noir, tho, as it pokes fun at the Detective genre, and has had several good art styles over the years. Pretty good, and will likely get better.

GU Comics: 8/10. Non-fiction, Gaming, Humor. A single-panel comic that pokes fun at the many MMORPG's out there. For me its a 7/10, since I get only a few of the jokes, but I can see a big MMORPG player loving this comic.

Questionable Content: 8/10. Fiction?, Music, Computers, Humor. This is a very new one, so it really doesn't have a set genre yet. The characters seem to be really into indie music and computers, and there's a budding romance coming into play, but its direction is still rather open. Still, very well done.

Adventurers!: 9/10. Fiction, Final Fantasy Games, Humor. Long running comic which does basically the same thing as RPG World, make fun of the Final Fantasy games. However, this one seems to be staying true to its roots, while RPG World is veering off into plot heavy times. Either way, this is made by the same guy as Antihero for Hire, so you know its good :).

9th Elsewhere: 8/10. Fiction, Drama, writing. I have a thing for dramatic webcomics done in anime art style. I admit it. Still, this one is pretty damn good. Pretty new, its about a muse and his charge, as they try to find herself inside her psyche. I suggust reading it, as it has a very nice story, as well as excelent characters.

I'm Blue: 8/10. Semi-Fiction, gaming, humor. A nice one about a gamer, in college, who is also very tech savy and inteligent, and slightly psychotic. Oh, yes, THAT one :). This one does have the main character be female, though. Seriously tho, this comic has a lot of wit in it, good commentary on current games, as well as one of the greatest story arcs ever: The iMac toss :).

The Midlands: 9/10. Fiction, Drama, Fantasy (sorta). Remember what I said about dramatic webcomics done in an anime art style? Yeah, here's another. This one, tho, is very, very well done. Excelent characters, beautiful storyline, and a very original premise: Take a fantasy environment, and move it into the present. Elves, magic, all that are here, with tech too! Extremely well done.

Exterminatus Now: 7/10. Fiction?, humor, arcane. This comic uses the Sonic art style, not the actual sprites, but hand drawn panels. Anyway, this is very new, and so far is about cops who fight mystical crime. It makes more sense in the comic, really. Its been pretty funny so far, and will likely be very good.

Red vs Blue: 10/10. Fiction, Humor, Halo/Military. This isn't really a comic. The makers of Red vs Blue used the game Halo to "film" their comic. It makes good fun of armed forces and Halo, with good humor, and is funny every week. The archives are not accessable without paying, however, so if you really want to see them, and you're family/friends, then just email me. They release high quality to subscribers on Fridays and low quality to everyone on Sundays, and they're always funny.

24fps: 8/10. Fiction, drama/humor, Movies. This is a comic about a movie reviewer, in Denver, and his friends/family. Its been really good so far, and it could easily get much better. Big recommendation to you, Liz.

Filibuster: 9/10. Non-fiction, Politics(US/Canada), Humor. A political cartoon strip, run by a Canadian who also does tune into American politics. This is a very, very, very, very good strip, as it is funny, non-partisan, and serious when it needs to be. No need to go through the archives, really, but its still got many good strips there. It updates whenever the artist finds something to make fun of, really.

WTF Comics: 8/10. Fiction, MMORPG Gaming, drama/humor. Very good strip based in the world of Everquest. Here's the catch: The major characters know that they're in the real world, but everyone else acts just how you'd expect MMORPG players to act. Good humor, and it appears to be developing one hell of a storyline. It updates a couple times per week.

It was noted a while ago how I never seem to give anything less than a 7 or 6. That's because I have 49 webcomics now, and I'm not going to waste time on one's I don't like! Just pointing that out :).
