Webcomic Discussion Thread!
ev4n:
Interesting to hear the talk about webcomics morphing, because I gave up on Sluggy and Wapsi years ago.
Edguy:
Sluggy is kind of a tough read, especially if you start from the beginning, but I hold on to it being worth it. No other comics I've read are able to be both silly & funny as well as serious & dramatic to such a degree as SF, and still make it work.
On a different note, I just read through A Redtail's Dream last night. All 550 pages. Not sure how I feel about it.
(click to show/hide)I liked it a lot to begin with, the characters seemed really interesting, but I was kind of disappointed when I found out that the dream plot was the plot of the entire comic, instead of just the first chapter or something. (Yeah I should have guessed that from the title..) I guess I was kind of expecting a more "normal" buddy comic about the adventures of Hannu and Ville. I also expected to see some more of the surrounding characters, instead of them being just.. sub-quests to be finished. The only character who really had any character development at all was redheaded guitar brat, which is kind of odd considering Hannu was in obvious need of that..
Also, not sure how to feel about the ending. Was kinda weird and abrupt.
A lot of negative words here, but I still liked it tho. A lot easier to talk about your gripes than what you liked :)
ev4n:
I'm pretty sure I read more than 10 years of sluggy from the start. I felt like it went off its rails at some point.
Overall, I would recommend reading the archive, as it's good. I just don't follow it any more.
Edguy:
Well, that's kind of the thing; Sluggy is all about going off the rails, love it or hate it.
Also, I absolutely would not recommend reading Sluggy on a daily basis. You really need to binge at least a month's worth of comics at a time for it to be as enjoyable as it can be, otherwise you'll just get a lot of out-of-context nonsense, imo.
BenRG:
In terms of mainstream webcomics, I'm a follower of Dilbert (although I get the impression that Scott Adams is losing his interest in it sometimes). Being a sci-fi freak, I also read Marc Stanley's Freefall and used to read Crimson Dark when it was still being updated (David C Simon now working for Lucasfilms means that he is more interested in writing Star Wars than his OCs).
