The Internet's Best Webcomics

Written by: Holly G., Associate Editor – Posted: Sun Feb 11th, 2007

Since the mid-nineties, webcomics have swept the internet as political commentaries, epic adventures and chronicles of every-day life. Comic-hosting sites such as Comic Genesis, Keenspot , and Drunk Duck have allowed anyone with an internet connection and an illustrating program to put their voice on the web in the form of a comic.

Because almost anyone can publish comics on the web, the comics themselves show a wide variety of voices. They range from the tech-savvy gaming comics to GLBTQ-friendly life stories, chronicles of post-college life to high-action sci-fi adventures. Check out them all, or just picka few that pique your interest. Assembled here are comics that represent the best on the web. Check out them all, or just pick a few that pique your interest.

Penny Arcade needs no introduction. One of the earliest webcomics, Penny Arcade mocks gaming, entertainment and life with witty punch-lines and two very recognizable characters. Creators Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik took the internet by storm in 1998, but in 2003 they set new standards in the gaming and comic world by launching and supporting Child's Play, an annual charity and auction that benefits children's hospitals across the United States.

Ctrl+Alt+Del by Tim Buckley has been around since 2002, and this year become an online animated series. The plot follows two roommates and their friends as they navigate life, love and NPCs. Like Penny Arcade, Ctrl+Alt+Del pokes fun at the gaming universe and the geeks and nerds who inhabit it. Read Ctrl+Alt+Del
