Comics to be read...

Recommendation for online perusing, 2.0

Published on February 9, 2007 By Harumph In Entertainment

Here is a follow up to my listing on online comics (i.e. free comics). I read all of these on a weekly basis. Some of these are not as main stream as the first listing I posted, but their quirkiness is their strength. Also, I’m going to plug my very own comic, “May I Help You.” Shameless, I know.

• Killroy & Tina by Justin Pierce - Evil overlord alien gets bound to an ordinary earthgirl as punishment for taking over the universe. I really liked this comic because of the sense of humor injected and also because it’s a prime example of how the comic prompts the artwork to improve. The storyline finished approximately a month ago, but the comic will still be posted for a bit.

• Terinu by Peta Hewitt - One of the few Sci-Fi online comics that I’ve found. A biologically unique alien makes friends with humans and they’re all being chased by an almost extinct race with godlike genetic powers while an insectoid race is trying to take over the Federation. That’s the closest I can come. It does, however, have some of the best artwork out there and I personally know that the artist is a kick-ass great person in Australia. You can also get a hard copy of this comic if you’re willing to go through Australian customs.

• No Rest for the Wicked by Andrea Peterson - A really lovely and dark take on Grimm’s Fairy Tales. Again, a very unique artstyle and a fun story line to follow. If you can ever picture Red Riding Hood as an axe murderer… The update on this comic is quite sporadic, but worth the wait.

• Faux Pas by R & M Creative Endeavors - Amidst the furry fervor, some people still draw real animals. A lovely and humorous strip about a domesticated fox finding his place on the farm.

• Fallen Angels Used Bookstore by John Fortman - Known as “FAUB”, this is a really strange story about mythical races living hidden among humans and what happens to the humans who see inside their world. The artwork is dark heavy inks and pencils and really fantastic.

• Corner Alley 13 by Emily Ryan - ELVES! More Elves! Even More Elves!!! A slick completed comic about elves in the human world. Even though it’s completed, it’s a really fun read.

• Goblin Hollow by R.H. Junior - A very conservative look on the world of politics, life, marriage through the eyes of a bear who sees his own emotions/views as goblins. R.H. Junior also has two other comics that are just as good, I just never got into them. And in the world of liberal artists, his conservatism is refreshing. And if you have an extra moment, check out his forums.. they're very lively.

These are just a few more that I read and enjoy. Most of these I’ve been reading for their duration (Killroy&Tina, Goblin Hollow, FAUB, Terinu) and have even done some fanart for (Terinu). The rest I stumbled across and have just enjoyed them ever since.

Happy reading!
