It has been awhile since I've spent any time browsing webcomics, but I decided to peruse one of my favorite forms of entertainment again. Some of these have been out for a few years, so when you have some free time, go back and read the archives. In no particular order...
15. Bite Me! (Completed)
14. Candi (Ongoing)
13. Scary Go Round (Completed)
"Scary Go Round was a webcomic set in the fictional West Yorkshire

12. Inverloch (Completed)
"The story of Inverloch centers around a young man named Acheron, from
a horned wolf-like race called the da'kor. After a chance encounter
with an elf, he finds himself setting out on a seemingly innocent
mission - that of trying to locate Kayn'dar, another elf who has been
missing for the past twelve years. Meeting up with new friends and companions along the way, he
quickly begins to learn that the world is not quite the peaceful place
he believed it to be - embroiled with prejudice, racial segregation, and
hidden danger. And the truth behind Kayn'dar's disappearance is
something none of the party would ever expect..." (Description from website)
11. The Pheonix Requiem (Completed)
"The Phoenix Requiem is a Victorian-inspired supernatural fantasy story about faith, love, death, and the things we believe in. On a cold December night, a gentleman stumbles into the town of Esk,
gunshot wounds leaving a trail of blood in the snow behind him. Despite
making a full recovery at the hands of an inexperienced nurse - and

9. Dead Winter (Ongoing)
"Dead Winter is an action-filled modern fantasy/sci-fi horror story about
a post-apocalypse living-dead zombie infested present-day world. It
isn't really about zombies, though. It's about people. It follows the
lives of a rag-tag group of survivors who struggle to further their
agendas and live through a lawless, disease-torn reality where everyday
job skills take on new uses and nothing ever really goes according to
plan." (Description from website)
8.
dream*scar (Ongoing)
"Set in a post-modern alternate reality, dream*scar shows a world where Unhumans,
the creatures of myth and lore, live openly amongst humans. The Reveal
only happened some 20 years ago, and so times are still relatively
chaotic for everyone involved [racism especially rampant]. Admist all
this is a girl named Vix. She knows she is an unhuman, and she knows how
they are treated, but she is lucky -- she's an
empath, and her
powers easily hidden. But when something goes wrong, and people end up
dead, she begins to realize that there's more to her abilities than she
can even comprehend..." (Description from website)
7. Twokinds (Ongoing)
"Twokinds is a webcomic that takes place in a world conflicted with
racial tension, primarily between the human-like Humans and the
animal-like Keidran. They have dramatically different societies and
ideas on how to live and act. It is because of these differences that
the two races are almost always in some form of conflict. The story
begins as the world hinges on the brink of another war. However, unlike
before, this time war seems to be the result of a single man,
manipulating the two races for his own personal gain - though he no
longer has any memory of doing so." (Description from website) Currently #1 on Top Webcomics.
6. The Meek (Ongoing)
"The Meek is a graphic novel about Angora, an inexperienced young girl
who has been sent on a quest to save the world. War looms on the
horizon, and at its helm is the Emperor of the North and his hellish
adviser. The two countries are overwhelmed with as much terror, crime,
disease and revolution as they are with those who wish to create peace.
Armed with only her instincts and an unexplainable power, she must
experience and judge the world—and decide once and for all if it is
truly worth saving." (Description from website)
5. Fey Winds (Ongoing)
"The planets are living powerful beings and the sentient species that occupy their surfaces are their children. They face a crisis when their elemental lifeblood begins to seep into the children, eventually culminizing into a soulstone
which gives them great powers, but at the cost of their life and
eventually that of the planets’ too. One childless planet, Earthsong, is
given the task of retrieving these children from their homeworlds and
bringing them to her surface where they are safe. She is given tools
made of Siderean, or star, element which allow her to remove
the soulstone from its host and both back to their planet of origin.
Visiting children remember little of their previous lives while on
Earthsong and when they return they recall only glimmers of what
occurred during their time away. These individuals often build up
legends and myths around their strange and fragmented memories of alien
species." (Description from website)
3. The Dreamland Chronicles (Ongoing)
"The Dreamland Chronicles is about a college student, Alex, who
returns to a realm of dreams after eight years. There he discovers his

Dreamland." (Description from Wikipedia)
2. The Zombie Hunters (Ongoing)
"This story follows a group of zombie hunters as they go though life as
survivors of the undead outbreak. The characters reside on an artificial
island, the former site of the Argus Research Campus. The hunters, like
so many others on the island, are infected- they carry a dormant strain
of the undead virus, which will cause them to turn into one of several
different types of undead when they die. The infected are marked and
segregated from the rest of the inhabitants on the island, making a
living by working offshore in the wastes, hunting zombies and collecting
salvage, trading their freedom for safety." (Description from website)
