It’s been a couple of years since the last time I mentioned the list of webcomics I currently read. In the last couple years, there has been an explosion of new webcomics online as well as some old favorites either disappearing or going to very irregular updating. I’ve added a couple new webcomics to what I read (as well as adding and dropping numerous others). Let’s check them out.
One of the more recent ones I’ve started reading is JL8. JL8 is the Justice League heroes at age 8. The action mainly takes place at school with Mr. Julius Schwartz as their teacher and Darkseid as their gym teacher (who replaced Ted Grant). Everyone wears their costume and authors (Yale Stewart) uses the characters and setting to gently poke fun at the heroes. Batman is still the paranoid control freak. Superman is the nice good guy. Flash is ADD run wild and Wonder Woman is the mythological hero. A lot of fun with a new strip each week.
A fun strip featuring slightly older characters is Questionable Content. It’s basically friends, with robots. The strip centers around the owners and workers in the coffee shop. But there are also robots, space travel, Google Glasses with annoying AI. And a lot of funny situations. The strip by Jeph Jacques updates every weekday.
A more serious comic is Strong Female Protagonist (affectionately know as SFP). In SFP, we have a strong female protagonist (if you couldn’t guess) hero who’s given up her superheroine identity and is going to college. But she hasn’t given up on her quest for justice. She just wishes to do it in a different way. Not your regular superhero, but it’s a good strip written by Brennan Lee Mulligan and drawn by Molly Ostertag. It’s nice to read a strip that deals with a realistic young woman who just happens to be nigh invulnerable. Updated twice a week and well done.
