Comic Recommendations
A mix of genres and styles of webcomics on various platforms that I enjoy the stories of.
Whether they are completed, ongoing, on hiatus or came to and end; there’s a a lot to dabble in! A lot of them have LGBTQA+ casts and themes too, so a lot to recommend there.
The list is in no particular order other than a general idea of genre and nothing here is sponsored.
I believe works that the creators could not finish or are not polished in their early stages are important to read too. Sometimes there is entertainment in imperfect works, if you give them a try!
Please note most are recommended for 16+ readers and some do contain content warnings listed on their webcomic platforms. Happy reading!

You may have also heard me talk about fancomics on the episode about well, uh, fancomics on the ScreenTones podcast! The podcast has some nice insights and discussions into all things webcomic life for new creators.
If you found me from Screentones then allow me to link you to a scan site for Fleetway Sonic the Comic.
Fleetway Sonic the Comic (scans) – A Sega licensed UK comic that got me into drawing as a kid but discontinued since the 2000s. Slow to start at first but when it goes… well… I will not shut up about Fleetway Super Sonic to this day. The comic is still being made by fans as a webcomic at their own fansite. Nothing to do with Archie Comics I swear.
