gently caress I didn't even think about that. I remember her human drawings of Frank and they just. . didn't look like him. He's a hairless dog or nothing at all.

So Homestuck, or rather Problem Sleuth, got me thinking about comics that follow a CYOA format where people post suggestions on character action and whatnot. Besides from the obvious Homestuck fancomics, are there any fun webcomics that follow this kind of format?

I don't know of any right proper Webcomic CYOAs outside of the Homestuck-sphere, but there is a grand tradition of running them on various forums, imageboards, and such, often with whole adventure game setups complete with puzzles for the audience to solve or dicerolling mechanics. They like to call them "Quests". If you're not too worried about providing future readability, there's no reason not to just merge the content with the suggestion thread. Provides more authenticity too I suppose. There's a couple of 'em archived here in more readable format: https://mozai.com/quests/ Or if you're feeling daring, this website has a list of ones from tgchan with links to their source threads: https://tgchan.org/wiki/Category:Quests

Oh man do any of you remember when there was like eight of them running in GBS? Uh Microbe!, dropsy the clown, Your Life Sucks 1 2 3 and 5, Red Blue Yellow are some I can name off the top of my head.

There's still a few of them ongoing in Traditional Games in the Game Room, though most are writing only. Outlaws of Thoon is a much beloved one with illustrations, though it was allowed to fall into archives. Fragile Gods of Somewhere is one of my own, but rather than a single character everyone directs, there's a rotating group of Gods that get to make big changes before dying out and leading to a time skip where the group does control a single person living in that world. This one's complete, at least. There's a few other really awesome CYOAs, though as mentioned most aren't illustrated.

I also loved Red Yellow Blue, but never got a chance to see the sequel, A Silver something something. Whatever happened to Thallium?

It's sprite based and only sort of a comic (?), though the sprites are original, not like Mega Man sprites or anything. It updates daily-ish. also it's mine

A little while ago I started reading a comic called Star Power. I don't actually recall how I heard about it, but I added it to a feed and caught up while waiting for other stuff to update, etc. It's fine, I wouldn't have bothered to share it except that it turns out that the writer is the dude from Dominic Deegan and for some reason he decided to illustrate the latest issue himself. Holy poo poo, I had forgotten all about how terrible that comic was and he has done nothing to improve. Not only is the 'style' poo poo, it's poorly implemented as well. Why would someone do that, the existing artist was pretty great. There's no way I can tolerate this ugly crap, so I guess I'm done with the comic until I remember to look at it again and hope it swaps back. Way to go guy. Maybe the artist quit and he's covering because he doesn't want to explain how he drove them off?

Haha that's loving hilarious, when Dominic Deegan ended I kind of rolled my eyes at the new comic. It looked like generic-as-hell 90s superhero stuff. But the fact that he decided to illustrate again is just delicious. This seems to imply that it's just a single-issue story though, and the artist will be back for a full storyline after this? IDK: http://www.starpowercomic.com/comic/annual-holiday-break/?nav=prev I don't care enough to actually read it though. Quickly looking through the 3 pages he drew it's obvious his writing is pretty much the same. This panel has me cracking up for some reason though, apparently she just floats around in space with that expression all the time:  Also the story is called "The Heavy Metal Showdown". Ugh, gently caress off.

I've peeked in at Star Power from time to time. For the most part, it's just generic as hell, but it definitely has that Dominic Deegan thing where the villains are incredibly unrepentant monsters for no reason. The last villain was a celebrity who was so infatuated with his own voice that he secretly cloned himself dozens of times, and formed a cult-like education system for the clones, where anyone with an imperfect voice gets killed and the remainder are his deathly-loyal slaves.

Honestly if you could get the same thing out of Star Power if you just go read some Green Lantern comics. At least one storyline felt ripped from its pages.

Oh yea, the Star Power comic is really generic and not particularly inspired. Before the last arc with the celebrity clone master there was an evil outlaw dude who had his loyal, intelligent, sentient ship crushed just to try and cover his tracks and the writer explicitly said 'I was worried people seemed to think this guy might be kind of cool so I wanted him to do something irredeemable'. Off-brand Green Lantern is pretty accurate. I have a number of very mediocre comics on my feed that got there somehow and are mostly about inertia more than anything else. The art has probably been the most competent and consistent feature of the comic, which was why deciding to swerve into his own illustration was such a bad shock and made me actually want to share it. I have to wonder if he'll lose more readers with this interlude than a hiatus, though.

The man who wanted to write a heroic rapist is constantly very concerned that people might find a thief or outlaw character cool.

There's a specific GL story I'm thinking of, where Kyle goes to help with a civil war and finds out that both sides are doing monstrous things and he's shaken and drama and I swear the same thing happens to 'Star Power.'
