Ongoing
Family Man
by Dylan Meconis -- What do scholars, gypsies, Jews, and wolves all have in common? In 1768, they could only find safety in numbers. But belonging to a pack doesn't mean your troubles are over... This is gorgeous, well-research story focusing on an disgraced (and possibly atheistic) theologian and an enigmatic spinster librarian, is mostly about 18th century life, university politics, the struggle between reason and faith, and possibly werewolves. Her research notes alone are worth a look. It's been on pause while she researches and writes the script, but it's due back September 21st.
Girl Genius
by Phil and Kaja Foglio -- Mad Scientists rule Europe. Badly. Steampunk alternate Europe, with Mad Science! What's not to love?
Dresden Codak
by Aaron Diaz -- a sometimes Dada comic focusing on physics, philosophy, transhumanism, nerd jokes, and occasional descents to Mesoamerican underworlds. Famous for the Hob storyline and the Dungeons and Discourses.
Oglaf
by Trudy Cooper -- hilarious and NSFW. Extremely NSFW with plenty of mocking of fairy tales and fantasy literature tropes.
Erfworld
written by Rob Balder, illustrated by Jamie Noguchi (first book) and Xin Ye (second book)-- the story of Parson Gotti, obsessive gamer summoned to be a 'Perfect Warlord' to a city losing a war -- in a universe based on turn-based strategy wargames, with extra cutifying factor. It updates about three or four times a month, usually two comics pages to one text page, and it's wonderful to see what happens when a normal human's lateral thinking gets into a turn-based wargame.
Freefall
by Mark Stanley-- the story of Florence Ambrose, uplifted wolf and starship engineer, Sam Starfall, larcenous business-squid, and Helix, a young cargo-moving robot. Because all three main characters are not humans, they all have unique perspectives of the human society they're living in on the Planet Jean. Lots of hard science in the science fiction, and used to very good effect. The archives are enormous -- the comic has been MWF since 1998 -- so block out a weekend to read it.
Completed
Bite Me!
also by Dylan Meconis -- A French Revolutionary Vampire Farce! This one is just fricking hilarious, especially if you check the alt text. Be warned though, the author says it's in "the universe a few doors down" from Family Man, so there may be spoilers for that in this -- or maybe not, who knows?
Digger
by Ursula Vernon![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ursulav -- A Wombat. A dead god. A very peculiar epic. Anthropology, art shifts for the purposes of storytelling, religion, geology, the trouble with dwarf mining, a Statue of Ganesh, anthropomorphic hyenas, an incredibly pragmatic wombat engineer, and the shadowchild. squee!
