Let's see...have a number of comic tabs currently opened.

Goblins (Can be gory at times.)

User Friendly

xkcd (Sometimes a bit abstract.)

Morrowind Comic (In which a player has been teleported into the game world and is acting as an advisor and protector to their character. See metagaming.)

Penny Arcade

Ctrl+Alt+Del

Sluggy Freelance (Current story arc is parodying an unnameable, so I've linked to the first comic.)

Questionable Content

Something Positive can be amusing, but can also be vulgar. Look it up if you wish.

Erf and Stick have already been mentioned.

Well, I have a few suggestions for webcomics:

 

Humor

Extra Life

Wondermark - "an illustrated jocularity"

Commissioned - "The Ministry of Abnormality presents Commissioned"

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal - It only needs one panel

Wapsi Square

Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic - Warning: Not safe for work

Atland - "High adventure, lowbrow humor"

Good Ship Chronicles - about GSC

Nodwick - life as a Henchman

Bunny - quirky humor

 

Serial (i.e., like a comic book)

Rice Boy - not sure how to describe it

Demonology 101 - it's "about high school, family, friends, unstoppable forces of evil and one exploding watermelon"

Crimson Dark - has that Firefly feel to it

Dreamland Chronicles - cutesy but I'm still reading it

Tales of Pylea - still gearing up as far as plot is concerned

Fey Winds

Girl Genius - "Adventure, Romance, Mad Science!"

Cowboys and Aliens

 

As for Comic comis, I'll try to list a few of my particular favorites:

 

Image

- Battlegods (available in tpb) - about various people all coming to a big-arena event, all with an Aztec flair and mythos

- Kore (available as tpb from Devil's Due publishing) - don't break that sarcohpagus!

- Spawn (available as tpbs) - Al Simmons is the Hellspawn

 

Top Cow/Image

- Stryke Force #1-5 of 5 (this is a revival of a '90's series published by Image. Also, I think it is available as a trade paperback (tpb))

- Cursed #1-4 of 4 - another "ancient egyptian gods and mystic amulets" comic

- Witchblade (longstanding series, available in tpb formats) - Sara Pezzini not only has to deal with the lawbreakers, but also bizzare cults and other individuals with an unhealthy interest in the Witchblade.

- Tomb Raider (longstanding series, available as tpbs) - Follow Laura's various misadventures into archeology

- The Darknes (available as tpbs) - Mafia tough Jackie Estacado has inherited The Darkness

- Ascension #1-22 of 22 - I forget what it is exactly about, but I like the artwork!

- Humankind #1-5 of 5 (might be available as tpb, I don't know) - where aliens decide to create their own humans -- and what happens when a real human lands in their midst.

- Fathom vol. 1 (available as tpb and individual issues from Aspen Comics) - "There are two worlds: The one we know, and the one below"

- Hunter Killer (the Collected Edition contains #0-3) - I've only got issues #1-4, but is seems an interesting story

 

DC

- Rose and Thorn #1-6 of 6 - split psyche, courtesy of new-fangled therapy

- The Monolith #1-12 of 12 - two friends find a golem vigilante bricked up in grandma's old house

- Arak: Son of Thunder #1-50 of 50, + the Yearly Special - take a trip through Europe and Central Asian mythology with Arak and various friends.

 

Wildstorm

- SciTech #1-4 of 4 - I actually forgot what this is about...

- Extinction Event #1-5 of 5 - the dinosaurs return to enslave mankind

 

Devil's Due Publishing

- Defex #1-6 of 6 - let that be a lesson not to get drunk and inject yourself with nano-mutation things

 

Chaos! Comics (dead)

- Lady Death (some tpbs, but the number system Chaos! used is bizzare, so it is difficult to keep track of chronology) - "To know her is to know a woman cursed" - she died horribly, but managed to oust satan and become the new ruler of hell. But, not everyone is happy with her in charge.

- Chastity - punk rock vampire just trying to lead a normal life

- Bad Kitty - corrupted cops turn against her, Bad Kitty is on the Most Wanted List

- Jade - ancient vampire trying to maintain honor among theives (IIRC)

 

Crossgen Comics (dead)

- Sojourn (most issues collected in tpbs) - beautiful artwork. Follow Arwen and Gareth on their fedex quest to bring down an undead tyrant.

 

Feel free to wikipedia search these titles, as I'm not very good at summarizing. It's also been a while since I've read these.

To Doomjockey,

I don't know if your into the older stuff or not but if you are, and your also a fan of spider-man, then you might like to take a look at this link. Hope this helps.

YES! This is exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for! Good comics that don't need to waste precious tree. And Spider-man is one of my favorite series!

 

(give that man a kudo, Chumpy!)

 

Done and done.
