FactsAreUseless posted:Let's all start reading Sluggy Freelance ironically, then get really into it unironically, and appreciate the adventures of Torg, Zoe, Riff, Gwynn, Bun-Bun, Sasha, Kiki, Aylee, and everyone else in this nifty comic. SF was one of my first webcomics and though I don't read it any more, I have a lot of fondness for it.

Mostly everyone has a fondness for one of their first webcomics. I visit El Goonish Shive every once and a while to see what perplexing direction the author has taken the comic in the latest chapter.

Dogwood Fleet posted:The worst part of Megatokyo is I keep hoping Fred will turn it around. Like....he'll reach a state of self awareness and suddenly have an interesting story about weeaboos. I think that's part of why people praise the early part of the comic, the last time I went through the early strips I kept thinking, "This had the potential to be good."

Brought To You By posted:Yeah I feel the same. There's still foundation for an interesting plot and I'd be lying if I didn't think that whatever chapters make up the 4th and 5th volume aren't good. But at this point if he can't even put out a single page a month we'll never see the end of it. Looks like the only thing he didn't lift from the japanese is their work-ethic.

4U City was pretty decent, and not that many years ago. But mostly, any time the comic starts getting entertaining, the tension is broken by lovely goofy subplots.

Leona from Prague Race might be one of the most irritating protagonists I've seen in recent memory, and I don't think it's deliberate. Like she's kind of a really lovely and manipulative person and yet the narrative always dances away from giving her a full rebuke in favor of making her seem quirky and sympathetic, it's getting super annoying!

I visit El Goonish Shive every once and a while to see what perplexing direction the author has taken the comic in the latest chapter. I have been consistently reading EGS, and I still have no idea whats going on. So many webcomics that try to balance comedy and drama fall into the same trap after a while of trying to run serious, grim arcs about things that were originally one off dumb jokes, or they grow a tangled web of impenetrable lore. Often it feels like it'd be better if the authors would be better off if they would just end their works and start again rather than drag into decade-long epic sagas. Then again, David Willis has done that twice, (or more?) and managed to produce a worse balance of comedy and drama every time.

Yeah, she's pretty much a manic pixie dreamgirl writ large - I'm not a fan of the troll dude for similar reasons. Overall, the good bits of the comic outweigh them enough that I remain a fan, though. That said, I think the last couple pages may have sort of turned the comic into horrortown, with the cancerhands exerting an influence on her.

It seemed like Leona was going to get her poo poo together when Miko yelled at her for turning him into a werewolf instead of just taking him to a hospital for a fairly unspecified injury, but nope, as soon as they find out where Colin is she's all "tee hee, let's break in and threaten everyone, isn't this fun?!" I'm not quite sure where the story is going at the moment; assuming they get Colin back, can't they just leave? I guess Leona would be screwed though.
