--- Quote from: raoullefere on 25 Jan 2010, 09:25 ---Oddly, I've never heard of Schlock Mercenary. Had to choose between QC and OOTS, which was difficult. Well, I also had to choose between them and Red String, but I've cooled a little on that since Gina let Mihara and Kazuo hit the rocks. Even getting Reika and Eiji together hasn't helped. Ah well.*
Sadly, Locus wasn't on the list. Better luck next year, Adam! (I assume there'll be a next year—if there's a Post next year)
*Sure, laugh. We all know you read Over and weep for Felix.

Miharu, dear. Also, Fuuko and Hanae are infinitely adorable, therefore Gina gets a free pass for Kazuo being a spineless dick.
Plus I've never heard of Over; in future, if you're going to accuse people of reading things, you ought to at least provide a link so that there's a chance that it'd be true by the time they get around to rebuffing you. :P

Mi culpa: http://www.overcomic.com/ And http://www.needcomics.com/Locus/ for that matter. If you dig on horror/supernatural (and topless demon-fighters), does Adam Black have a webcomic you! Srsly.
And naturally, the one name I didn't cut and paste, I misspelled. And now I almost misspelled misspelled.
Wiregeek:
I voted for Schlock.

It is good, if you like space-opera, though sometimes I find the humour a bit predictable and repetitive. Howard Tayler is super-professional, never missing an update, seven days a week (he was late once, when the server-farm where he is hosted was taken out. By an explosion), or indulging in filler-strips, guest strips etc. In summary, Schlock Mercenary deserves a lot of credit. But:
* I've never felt impelled to join the forum, as obviously I have here.
* I don't poke about in the archives regularly the way I do with QC.So I decided, in the end, that I must care more about QC...
Carl-E:
Akima, I appreciate your nuanced analysis, and must concur - there are several I follow, but few I care enough about to dance in the forums.
However, I'm not voting as per Jeph's tweets.
You see, I teach for a living. And lately, student evaluations/popularity contests have cost some of the best teachers I know their jobs, including me on a few occasions. Polls like this do no one any good, it's a matter of who has more viewers and/or can lobby the most people to go vote. And what's it do for anyone, especially the losers? The only good thing is the links to more new comics...
