Kevin Scrivner Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 I recently discovered Buzzboy, the World's Most Upbeat Superhero at http://www.buzzboy.net/ Very much in the Tick mold. Anybody else run across some fun Champions inspiration online? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 Hmm, Dotcomics no longer works for me from Marvel. Someone else, on the old Boards, posted a link to "Liberty : All American Girl" Which I actually kind of liked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Steve Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 I'm partial to the now ended Japanese Beetle. Lighthearted and odd, but not quite Tick-odd. http://www.worldfamouscomics.com/beetle/ Go to the archives and start at the beginning.

BobGreenwade Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 My personal favorite isn't superhero related (or directly related to anything adventure-oriented for that matter), but is a lot of fun and a good source of ideas for animal-based gags and computer puns: Kevin and Kell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 Originally posted by Balok Sluggy Freelance The only time I ever really liked it was when they did a crossover with User Friendly.

TheEmerged Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 Survivor, the comic series. I don't even watch the show, and this is quite often hilarious. Someone already linked PvP. Scott can be a little uneven, but when he's on he's one of the funniest strips out there. Day By Day by Chris Muir, which is quickly earning a reputation as the new Doonesbury. Nodwick, by Aaron Williams, who just started a wonderful new cartoon called PS238 -- think Champions Elementary School Go to this site, start with the links for Fantasy Cartoons, then Nodwick Strips. Go here with an hour or so on your hands, especially if like me you also like DnD. Daryl Cagle runs what can best be described as a politcal cartoon clearinghouse. This is another one you should wait until you have an hour or so before you go there the first time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good source for survival and tracking trivia Schlock Mercenary Sci-Fi Merc.s Errant Story Give it a try... Crater Kid retro Sci Fi fun Exploitation Now Over now, but a lot of anime stuff if you can wade through the soft porn of the earlier strips Other Stuff Ozy and Millie Insightful gag strip Sinfest The Left...

Glen Sprigg Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Originally posted by Hermit Ah, here's that Liberty site. http://powerheroes.com/3d_comic.htm Not to brag, but I wrote a story about that character some time ago that the webmaster was kind enough to post on the site: For Honor and Liberty. I've wondered from time to time if anyone else was reading it. Since it's been mentioned here, I'll make a small request for feedback, even though it's been an eon or so since I wrote it.

Mutant for Hire Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Okay, here is a list of some of my recommended comics, for those of a gaming bent. I picked those comics that could actually either be a good setting or have interesting background material: Schlock Mercenary: http://www.schlockmercenary.com/ This deals with a band of mercenaries in the far future and their misadventures. Sometimes it reads like a SF RPG campaign done as a web comic. Sluggy Freelance: http://www.sluggy.com/ The great classic webcomic. Maybe not the first but one of the longest lasting and one of the most consistantly funny. If you're ever running low on campaign ideas, take a stroll over to this comic for source material inspiration. The current storyline has some great RPG potential. College Roommates From Hell!!! http://www.crfh.net/ A group of college roommates who deal with haunted appliances, useless mutations, the Devil, Cthulhu's pet and sadistic calculus teachers. People who like Sluggy Freelance will probably want to give this one a look. Like Sluggy, the art/storylines are pretty weak at first but grow a lot better over time. Starry Ones: http://www.weirdass.net/ I've plugged this one before. An incredible combination of Lovecraftian Horror with Space Opera. Amazing art, amazing storyline. It's amazing how the author can seamlessly fuse so many different cosmologies together and yet make it feel coherent. Yin and Yang: http://yinandyang.keenspace.com/ He's a demigod shapeshifter, she's a powerful sorceress. This is the soap opera of their lives. Errant Story: http://www.errantstory.com/ From the creator of Exploitation Now. In some ways the protagonist bears a strong spiritual resemblence to Lina Inverse of Slayers, except with slightly different vices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormraven Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 http://www.queenofwands.net/ Since someone else mentioned Something Positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 read it Sounds cool Glen. I'm a lazy SOB, but I'll give it a read. I can't be sure how useful my layman's view will be... But I love a good story. EDIT: Glen, I PMed you some more details on my opinion (not much, there's a space limit). For the rest of you, if you have the time, give it a read. It's a good story (at least I thought so), and game wise I can see it as a good solo scenerio to put almost any modern day American Patriot hero up against. And it has a voluptious blonde battling for her life, what could be better? Well, except maybe a voluptious redhead... YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrosshairCollie Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Re: Favorite Online Comics? My personal favorite isn't superhero related (or directly related to anything adventure-oriented for that matter), but is a lot of fun and a good source of ideas for animal-based gags and computer puns: Kevin and Kell Kevin and Kell rock. Other webcomics on my favorites include: Bob and George Nevernever Freefall Ozy and Millie Though only Bob and George are really remotely superheroic ... I often have fun watching a TV show and quoting B&G's 'you can't die if your name is in the title' trope. Oh yeah ... there's also Supermegatopia, of course ... for more parody value.

Alric Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Re: Favorite Online Comics? I recommend "Blade of Boudica". But then it's my webcomic so I might be biased... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
