Web Comics and Why you should read them

I think I mentioned a bit about how Web Comics can be similar to Underground comics in the way that the artist is in control of the comic. Webcomics are much easier to make now as there are free/cheaper sites that can host the comic. The main thing is trying to keep up with it as it takes time and the author must be committed to telling their story. And now these web comics are getting support from crowd funding sites such as Kickstarter and IndieGogo to get physical book copies and many other rewards for fans.

One of my favorite web comics is Ava's Demon.

It's something i've been following for over a year and had the honor to meet the artist/author behind it. It's an interesting concept with beautiful designs and characterization that is still running. In fact, the first book has just ended and a new book shall be starting now. Also, there are a few short animation sequences with simple movements that I love as it incorporates skills that I have learned and loved with a beautiful illustration style. I highly recommend for everyone to give it a look!

Another one to read is Cucumber Quest.

I haven't read it in a few months but the kickstarter campaign is ending soon for Book 3. It's adorable and clever from the get-go. It tells you exactly what's happening and what will happen in the first few pages and plays on the idea of a child becoming a hero and the journey they must go through. Characters are constantly telling the main character to become the hero when he just wanted to go to school for magic, while his sister is skilled in sword fighting but gets pushed away from the title of hero because she is a girl. It's also just filled with countless hilarious moments such as the bottom page.
