I just read binged Next Town Over (steampunk, western, supernatural) and need to find more stories!

I’ll be checking Wilde Life (small town supernatural horror) and Kill Six Billion Demons (violent Isikie. God’s true name is ‘I’.) in the morning.

What stories are you guys excited about?

Ooh boy, where to start!


The Green Knight (http://www.greenknightcomic.com/comic/night-at-the-drunken-goat-01/) -- fairy tale adventures with a cute art style. Really recommend this one, it's fun and clever and it's refreshing to read about giants and elves that aren't the tolkienized, D&Dified versions that saturate pop culture now.
The Good Blood (http://tgbcomic.com/p/p.html) -- more fairy tale inspiration, more Slavic than Celtic this time. Also fun writing, also good art, also high recommendation.
Phantomarine (https://www.phantomarine.com/comic/01-the-horizon-line) -- a murdered princess challenged the God of Death and got to revive... as a ghost. Now she's looking for a way to fully revive, and he's looking to use her for his own ends. Another comic that's very fun to read, it got some Disney vibes sometimes.
Magefront (https://www.magefrontcomic.com/comic/1) -- it's been total war between two kingdoms for a while, and the world's most cheerful necromancer is arriving at the battlemage academy for her training before she's sent to the frontline... Like Phantomarine, it mixes darkness ad wackiness quite well.
Tales From Alderwood (https://alderwood.the-comic.org/comics/1/) -- as a fantasy world undergoes its industrial revolution, and all dungeons have long been looted, finding gainful employment is the new quest objective. Loosely based on a D&D 5 campaign, but the D&Disms aren't too obvious.
Marble Gate (https://marblegate.webcomic.ws/comics/first/) -- basically a roguelike D&D adventure, with cute art and fun characters.
Monster Soup (http://monstersoupcomic.com/?comic=chapter-1-cover) -- let's leave D&D-style fantasy behind and move on to VtM-style fantasy instead. A zombie, a ghost, a vampire, a witch, a werewolf all get sentenced to stay at a mad scientist's castle. Really great art, occasionally NSFW though.
Immaterial (https://www.seraph-inn.com/iview.php?page=1) -- ever thought a misplaced item must have gone to a parallel dimension because it doesn't make sense you can't find it anymore? Well, it did. But what happens to people who go to the world of lost junk? Another one with excellent art.

I've been looking for new comics lately, and fell into a bit of a cascade of comics recommending other comics, so I've got a browser window lined with tabs of things to read. I just got uptodate with Cassiopeia Quinn, started on Narbonic next. Before that I read through October 20th and Saffron and Sage.

Tabs left in the queue seem to be Out-of-Placers, Ten Earth Shattering Blows, Miss Melee, and StarHammer. Don't know anything about any of them, but we'll see when I get there.

Ten Earth Shattering Blows (https://tenearthshatteringblows.com/archives/comic/1x01) is an awesome comic, basically fantasy Mad Max with giant lizards, well worth reading. However it's currently in a post-Kickstarter, between-chapter hiatus.

Now that does sound pretty good. Maybe I'll just shuffle that tab over a little bit...

And I don't think any of the comics I've been reading during this spree have either reached natural conclusion or made it to the present day without falling into a sporadic update schedule. In retrospect, I may not be adding too many of these to my actual daily reading list.

Don't know what your reading speed/binging tendency is like, but you've got a good long supply to work with there. Absolutely worth the time. Have you looked at the cartoonist's followup project, Skin Horse?

I thought I might look it up once I finished Narbonic, since I remember seeing that it finished as well recently.

OOP is a lot of fun! Kinda a mix of world-building and adorableness with a secret dark plot in the background.
