Jaxx Recommends...Comics

My friend Sarah got me hooked on web comics a few years ago and so, while I'm bored at work, I thought I'd share a few of my favorite ones that I follow religiously. I hope you like them and if you do, read them, support them and spread the word!

8. Flaky Pastry: Lots of fun and very cute. (Updates Friday)

7. FreakAngels: Normally I'm not into the whole end of the world story stuff, but this one intrigues me and I keep reading to find out what happens. (Updates Friday)

6. Gunnerkrigg Court: I'm not always sure what's happening in the story, but it's intriguing nonetheless and I think it's very pretty (Sarah disagrees but I don't understand why). (Updates Mon/Wed/Fri)

5. Punch an' Pie: Aeire drew one of my fave comics in college, Queen of Wands. This comic follows one of the secondary characters from that one and is a very fun and cute story (though I keep hoping that Angela and Heather will get back together). (Updates Mon/Wed/Fri)

4. Girl Genius: The story starts a little slow (or maybe it's just that it takes awhile to understand the world it's set in), but once I got into it a little ways, I was totally hooked. The artwork is gorgeous and I love Agatha's character (she's got spunk), though it's often hard to keep all of the multitudes of other characters straight. (Updates Mon/Wed/Fri)

3. Questionable Content: Fun characters, awesome artwork and always funny (but often NSFW). (Updates Weekdaily)

2. Girls With Slingshots: I love all the characters (they remind me of myself and some of my friends), the artwork is awesome and the strips are always funny, but definitely NSFW much of the time (it's better that way, I promise). (Updates Weekdaily)

And my absolute favorite that I love above all the rest...
1. Platinum Grit: There's really no explaining this one. Every time I think I've figured out a part of the plot, it gets flipped on its head and I'm lost again. I can't get enough of Kate and Nils--Jeremy is amusing as well. The artwork is great and I fully recommend getting the books if you like it because it's cooler that way. And you know it's good because everyone's willing to wait a year or more between episodes. Seriously, it's that good. (Entire episodes updated sporadically. Totally worth waiting for.)
