Every so often, a piece of software is created that genuinely makes the lives of its users easier. It ain’t for nothing that TVtropes.com has defined something they call the archive binge (no one ever binges on TVtropes.com, of course…).
Archive Binge is when you find a new comic, blog, video channel, or any other sort [...]

Considering the OMGHUGE plot turn that happened this October, I figured I should get around to reviewing this.
Sarah Ellerton made her name in webcomics with Inverloch. That series has ended, and now she has two projects running simultaneously, both exquisite.

GWS is one of those comics that’s been around for years and often pops up when you’re reading other comics. It took me a long time to get around to it for some reason. Something Positive is doing a crossover, though, so I gave it a shot. And omigod perfect [...]

I wound up at YU+ME after Megan’s brilliant guest comic for Jeph Jacque’s award-winning Questionable Content. Me and everyone else. It took me about one day to read the 600+ page archive.
YU+ME: dream is an interesting comic. It’s a story of true love, something [...]

It took a little while for me to notice that my RSS feed had stopped updating… and that Thorn really had gone on hiatus/retired. Thorn was a labor of love for its artist, an attempt to get syndicated, and I really wish it had. Now that it’s over, I [...]

Ordinarily I wouldn’t bother reviewing a comic that only has about a dozen pages, but my dearest Sreyaduck has been begging me to read this one. You should as well.
The art is beyond fantastic. Each panel is like a full [...]

If you’ve been reading webcomics for any period of time and haven’t come across Megatokyo you’re not surfing the right comics. Ever seen the Sad Girl In Snow trope? This is where it was born.
Megatokyo is a lot of things, on a lot [...]

I’ve been reading Red String for quite a while. The concept piqued my interest right away. Old Japanese myth/folktale says that true lovers are connected by a red string. Miharu wants to believe in true love, but her parents have arranged a marriage for her. When [...]

I got to this one in a sort of backwards way. I found the artist’s DeviantArt page via the Disney Princess club there (shuddup) and from there got to her website, her current comic, Thorn (which is great), and then on to As If!
As If! is [...]

If you always thought Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura were too saccharine, look no further. AM is not your typical Magical Girl comic. In fact, it’s a parody. Dan Hess took some [...]

Something occured to me a few weeks ago. I read an unholy amount of webcomics these days (I think I’m following over 30 right now), and I always read the whole archive first. Some of those archives are HUGE. …like, book-length.
My procrastination = your review-reading pleasure.
