WEBCOMICS YOU SHOULD BE READING

Our Current Top Five as of October 1, 2008.
Iron Circus  Templar, Sparkneedle and Blikada by Spike & Matt
Oh, but yes. Fantasy deserves more realists, and it looks like the genre has new champions in Spike and her co, Matt. Blending wonder with bitter is the work of mastercrafts, and we look forward to seeing everything that comes out of these Chicago minds.
This includes the latest Templar collection, The Mob Goes Wild, which has just arrived in the mail. True joy comes only to those who hold such wonders in their own grubby paws.
 
 

Heliothaumic  Heliothaumic by Ben Riley
In reimagining The Midlands, the webcomic of his youth, Riley wrestles with issues of prejudice, power, longevity and material exhaustion that his generation will likely face into their old age. The world of Heliothaumic stands between twin precipices of the abandonment of feudalism by fantasy races, and their equal unreadiness for the onrush of a technomagical singularity. History collapses in on the characters across both space and time—elves without an Edda risk epic fail, while wandering prodigals try to make up their own victory conditions of life.
 
 

Secret Knots  The Secret Knots by Juan Santapau

Chilean Santapau places layers of color upon meaning while describing his work as "comics about things we do without knowing why," but it is far more than a silkscreen Seinfeld.
Santapau's polished styles take quirky twists and slices of life a calculated half-step into the Twilight Zone. Each tale is another near-perfect expression of the longing that all creators share to simply be both inside and in on Creation: "I'd hide inside J.F. Sebastian's building and wait till Rutger Hauer says his speech and the movie is over, and then I'd come out and live there forever."
His latest series, "Unspeakable", is a Cthulhu Mythos coming of age story, and is not to be missed.
 
 

What Birds Know  What Birds Know by Emelie Friberg & Mattias Thorelli
Friberg & Thorelli and their Hallon Press bring a vision of another world, with a common familiar shape, filled with ordinary people and their daily lives and loves, and the castle of runic evil and gibbering infection that they live a barely-comfortable distance from.
Three friends embark on a mushroom-collecting class assignment-cum-camping trip, and open an unnatural gate of forgotten dread. Soon their forest frolic is beset with hauntings of rot and a uniquely horrific discharge from their bodies, making them wish their worst adolescent problem was coping with boys back home putting the moves on them.
 
 

Lackadaisy  Lackadaisy by Tracy J. Butler
This paean to speakeasy culture—via the anthropomorphic comics that were taking shape in that very period of history—is not quite like anything else on the web. Or in print, for that matter. Vividly professional characterization and vibrant panelology make Lackadaisy a bright young tour de force.
Also has a collection coming out soon.
