Webcomic Review: Request Line!

[McClaud]

I would include Boss Noodle on your list.

It's new, it's by the Chugworth guy, and you could do a 2-for-1 cover on both comics since they are drawn and written by the same guy.

Good, VG Cats and LFG. How about Grim Tales, Sugar Bits, Brain Dead, Tin, Sticky Floors, and Snafu. All of these are on the same site but made by different users: http://www.snafu-comics.com/

Hmmm. I was gonna maybe start reviewing webcomics in future as well. That having been said, some more for your queue:

Lucid TV: Crazy people in a hospital. Not the patients, the doctors.
Scary Go Round: Fairly amusing at times.
Instant Classic: Movie-based webcomic.
Anomaly: Crude, silly and proud to be both.
SPQR Blues: Set during Roman Empire. Hard to get into. Lotsa history stuff.

I look forward to seeing your opinions.

Is there one in particular you'd recommend?

In particular? I like Lucid TV and Anamoly quite a bit. A toss-up between the two.

To be fair I'll stick Drowtales at #2 since Torg asked for several and that's only one request.

Hip-hip hurrray! I should warn you though Drowtales is pretty long, the art style is nice though but the comic keeps going through wierd shifts in the stroy telling style. It can also be kind of violent but after your Jack review I dought it will affect you much.

Oh and there is a bit of backstory you might want to read up on, I've been reading it for a year or so and I still forget all the clans names, and even who they are sometimes.

EDIT: There is also a series of other webcomics based in the same universe but not related to the main story and in between chapters you'll find some random stuff that you don't really have to worry about.

I try my hardest to do as much work with the material around webcomics that I review (not always to the satisfaction of everyone, but you can't please every reader) so I'll definitely look at the background materials. I do appreciate the heads-up, it makes my job easier.

Alright so I'm going to hold off on requests because I now have a considerable number of comics to review so I won't be adding anymore to this schedule until I get near the end. I tried to include every suggestion up to this point so here it is:

Week 1: Voted Comic (from the Webcomic Review Poll thread) - Mega Tokyo
Week 2: Looking For Group - Drowtales
Week 3: XKCD - Dumnestor's Heroes
Week 4: VG Cats - Lucid TV
Week 5: Chugworth/Boss Noodle - PS238
Week 6: Penny Arcade - Problem Sleuth
Week 7: Dominic Deegan - Lackadaisy Cats
Week 8: Questionable Content - Grim Tales

The schedule is tentative, it could come out faster or slower than what I have planned, but this seemed a reasonable timeline. The voting closes on Monday afternoon! Check out the Webcomic Review poll thread using the search bar!

EDIT - Crap, left out Rob and Elliot, I'll sneak it into the middle somewhere, sorry!

Vulture, do mind if other people do reviews? If you do I apologize in advance. I just found one called awkward zombie. Overall score: 8/10. Another video game comic with no running story and only average art. He does jokes off of games that everybody knows and there still funny. Why? Because all the jokes are completely original (well, most of them). Only slightly morbid, most of the jokes can make everybody laugh. A very casual comic, so it's very nice when you want to kill some time and not think. Recommended for: All groups and ages (nothing offensive).

 

[General Torg]

On a side note, it would probably be a bad idea to give direct links to other sites. That could be consider advertising, leading to this thread getting banned.

Torg, it's not like I have the end-all-be-all on reviews, of course you can do your own! You don't need my permission, I don't consider myself any kind of ultimate authority, I'm just doing this because I like it. It's a hobby for me and I hope I'm informative and providing well written reviews.

I'll check with moderators about the links to the comics but I don't think it's advertising given I am providing a review, not an ad that says you should read every comic. I'll email someone about it though.

Edit - As for the links to requested comics maybe it would be better if people just gave me the names and I can Google them so no one gets in trouble. Again, I'll check with the mods.

No problem, it's the least I can do considering your writing the review at my request.

 

[vultureX21]

UPDATE - After a long hiatus I will be returning in the next week with the following reviews:
Goblins
Menage a 3
Get Medieval
Penny Arcade
Kevin and Kell

I apologize for my prolonged absence, expect the reviews up periodically for the next week, no set schedule nailed down at this time.

 

[lietuvos]

As a proof of the randomness of the Internet, I submit to you that I have been stalking your posts for several months ever since seeing a brief mention that you might review HERO someday. Behold the account created expressly for the purpose of asking if you still intend to do so, without specifying any sort of time period?

 

[Lord Krunk]

Here are my requests:

The Ten Doctors [http://comics.shipsinker.com] - The greatest Dictor Who fic ever.

Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic [http://yafgc.shipsinker.com/] - Parodying the same thing as Unforgotten Realms, but done so much better.

Concerned: The Half-Life and Death of Gordon Frohman [http://www.hlcomic.com/] - The greatest webcomic ever, full stop.

 

[Pseudonym2]

I recommend Zot by Scott Mcloud and Hero by Hwei because it does stuff that no other medium can do.

These comics are by talented established print creators.

Abominable Charles Christopher by Karl Kerschl

Freak Angles by Warren Ellis

Sin Titulo by Carmen Stewert

 

[Anarchemitis]

DoubleFine Action Comics by Scott Cambell [http://www.doublefine.com/comics/Scott_C].
Also availible from Internet,
The Slackerz by Scott Smith and Scott Hepting [http://www.theslackerz.com/].

 

[Maluku]

I would like to request something niché which I don't know but you stumbled across and think it is cool. Since I have already read the other comments mentioned here and formed my opinion about them.

Maybe I read to much comics.

Has nobody requested Sinfest yet? Shame
