Fairy and folk tales get an upgrade in Twistwood Tales, a comic consisting of mostly hilarious but always charming gag-a-day strips that add world building and occasionally give way to longer stories that weave all the adorable and memorable characters in and out of the titular region they call home.

DS 636: Silverback

The world of Richard Macrae’s Silverback is full of superheroes and supervillains, and is lacking in evidence as to which is which. It’s a throwback to the Silver Age while also being full of tropes, cliches, and loads of fun. While we wish the site it lives on were more modern, you shouldn’t miss this wild, evil ride!

Alex Norris’ Webcomic Name will have you saying oh no over and over, but in a good way! It’s a comic that dwells on the negative and depressing elements of life, but with such joy and whimsy that you won’t get lost in just how meaningless life really is. It also abstracts forms to both fascinating and terrifying effect and must be read to be believed!

Eddie Valiant from Who Framed Roger Rabbit holds the singing sword

It can be hard to stick to the point and really cut to the heart of a matter, but Matthew Wills does just that with SWORDS, his love letter to all things sharp and pointy. While Jason gets a bit less of a kick out of the running gag than Steve does, both guys appreciate the dedication to the gag and the ability to get so much humor out of such a narrow subject. Unsheathe your best weapon and prepare to take on the gauntlet of sword-based puns and jokes with us!

Brin and Sven are lazy bounty hunters who need to pay rent, so they go looking for trouble and find more than they bargained for! Along the way, the leads of Eric Lide’s Station Square meet Nem, Grinder, Edwin, Davan, Shade, Gazzo, Mad AND Vlad the Swine, Sunhild, Ardent, and other characters that sound like Muppets. It’s a shonen comic that gets better with age and features a fight longer than many marriages last these days. Get off the couch and don’t miss it!

In Vainglorious, Hammer (yes, his name is Hammer) wants to run away from his problems and responsibilities, but then Rei, a former dragon cursed with a human form, falls into his lap (almost literally) and the two become instant friends. Well no, not really, and that’s where the greatness of this comic comes from. Creator Kelly Bull (Sketches) takes us on a journey that is both fantastic and fun, with plenty of hilarious facial expressions and bombastic fantasy along the way.
