The Comic Strip Version 2.0

For my first stab at the world of Star Clipper Blogging I pondered a long while about how I should differentiate myself from my fellow bloggers. Inevitably, I came to the conclusions that we are all working for the same goal with our blogs, that being to share or love and knowledge about comics. This, coupled with the stores mission to supply the most expansive variety of comics to the general public, and bam, I decided to share with you the best of web-comics.

First, to dispel the damaging myth, not all web-comics suck. In fact, some of the most important comic artists around are taking a leap into web-comics, like my main man Peter Bagge. What more, some of the best and most innovative new comic creators are starting their strips solely online, avoiding the hassles and limitation common of major comic syndicates.

If there is one major web-comic strip to start with, I suggest Achewood by Chris Onstad. The strip is a hilarious character and situational based comedy about a group of anthropomorphic animals. Onstad’s style is heavily based in continuity, so you might have to delve into the archives to really catch up, but I guarantee it is well worth the effort. I will even dare to make the statement that Achewood may end up being the Pogo of the 21st century.

Here is a list of 5 other good web-comics to get you started:

So leave some comments and let me know what you think of these strips or inform me of some other good web-comic, and lets all celebrate how these strips kick Family Circus ass!
