Darque Edge Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 My favourites are ones that my girlfriend has gotten me into. She mainly reads indy stuff, and there's some excellent stuff there. Gloomcookie - surreal, and well written. Courtney Crumrin - funny little series. Blue Monday - funniest comic I've read in years. What's your favourite undiscovered gem?

James D. Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 8-Bit Theatre!!! B) (8BT does count here, right?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darque Edge Posted March 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 I've never heard of it, so probably. What is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Homepage for 8-Bit Theatre It's a twice-a-week Internet comic strip and it uses characters from Final Fantasy's early days. Except here, they are all either insanely stupid, extremely sarcastic, psychotic, or a combination of all three. Truly hilarious. Anyone who has ever played a Final Fantasy game needs to read these.

Darque Edge Posted March 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Personally, I'm okay with allowing webstuff in here - but perhaps that should be in indies? I'll let Yoda make that call. If it is, I recommend www.PvPonline.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is, I recommend www.PvPonline.com. Actually, I created a web comics forum. They can go in this thread if you're cool with it, but new threads about web comics should be started there.

Blue Monday Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 I have three words. Nightmares. And. Fairytales. By the same people as Courtney Crumrin and Gloomcookie, Oni Press. Absolutely fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJG Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Bear from Slave Labour Graphics. Absolutely hilarious comic in a bizarre sort of way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Bear from Slave Labour Graphics. Absolutely hilarious comic in a bizarre sort of way. Is that Hero Bear and Kid, or a different book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darque Edge Posted March 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 It's a different book. Think 'Johnny The Homicidal Maniac', and you've got a rough idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJG Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Bear from Slave Labour Graphics. Absolutely hilarious comic in a bizarre sort of way. Is that Hero Bear and Kid, or a different book? Different book entirely. Go here to learn more. (I like Herobear & the kid though. It's the Disney movie of comics that Disney tie-ins fail to be) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffzwirek Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 On the SLG front, they've had a couple of good new series out that aren't the A typical goth teenager crowd type of stuff they usually publish. Street Angel just came out, about a young girl who defends the streets of her town against ninjas, quite funny and well done, and Tupelo, about a punk band member who turns into a type of superhero who can only access his power by shooting drugs. Again, funny, and well drawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electronaut Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Not sure if it counts, but Metabarons from Humanoids Publishing. Alexandro Jodorowsky writes the tragic history of the Metabarons, a line of super mercenaries from humble beginnings. It's set in the same continuity as Incal, somewhere in a dark and distant future. Think Dune, except a lot more space opera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kscriv Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Sonic the Hedgehog has always been a personal fave of mine (because they use the Sat-AM cartoon characters) it's actually pretty good honestly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
