College and Comics
I recently arrived at college for my spring quarter, and had a thought of something to post here.
If nothing else I've got a few new recommendations.
Ozy and Millie.
An old comic, but one I only recently discovered. I had been reading another comic by the author, a funny little comic by the name of "I drew this". The comic follows the life of two 10 year old's Ozy and Millie. They're far more interesting than most kids their age, and through the comic you'll likely wind up learning a thing or two. While at the same time being completely overwhelmed with how much fun the characters are.
Girl Genius.
I found the comic the other day, if you've ever read the comic narbonic, the phrase I've constantly used to describe it is, "IT'S LIKE STEAMPUNK NARBONIC!" Honestly, it's freaking amazing and I recommend you go read it.
Narbonic.
This is a comic that ended at the end of 2006, but the archive is still up and really should be read. The comic was at a paysite for a long time until the author made the archive available in the comic's last year. The premise is that you've got this guy Dave, he's just graduated and the first job offer he gets is to debug doomsday machines. The comic blossoms so much from there. The comic ends in the best way a comic can end, with the story concluded with all ends tied up.
Three panel soul
Many of you will remember the formerly long running comic Mac Hall, done by Ian McConiville and Matt Boyd. They ended Mac Hall in late 2006, much to the sadness of their fans. They had said that they would possibly coming back to webcomics in the future, and this comic is their new project. It's still very young, but it's the sarcastic humor and great art fans of mac hall had come to expect from this duo. Read it so it stays alive.
Punch And Pie.
While still on the subject of new projects, the former author of the now ended webcomic, Queen of Wands. Some time after QoW ended, there was talk that Aerie would be working on a new project. One that she would write for but not draw. A few months ago it was confirmed that the artist of her new project would be Chris Daily, the artist of keenspot member comic Striptease. Recently the comic went live and while they're a bit iffy about their updates so far, put this in your list and keep an eye on it, with this much talent on board it's bound to wind up being something great.
I've found a few new comics as well, but I'm not sure what to say about them just yet.
