Stumbled: Comics

Through my time of stumbling, I have come across many wonderful comics, my favorites of which I will now mention.

Goblins: A weekly comic that shows the life of a Dungeons and Dragons goblin, from their perspective. Funny at times, this comic excels in storyplot, boasting wonderful artwork (more info).


DrowTales: This is a gorgeous comic with much history and a stupendous story, set in a fantasy setting inhabited by Drow, a Dungeons and Dragons sub-race, though the comic itself is not directly Dungeons and Dragons-oriented, and there is much originality in the interpretation. The story, and particularly are, are simply fantastic, and I highly recommend this comic to any who enjoy true quality of art; both written, and drawn (more info).


Earthsong: Simply beautiful. From the eyes, to the faces, to the poses, the art in this comic could not be better. The balance between detail and practicality is sweet, and the storyline is intriguing and clever. Updates grace the homepage every Wednesday. There are some silly (read: amusing) occurances, but they are not at the expense of the characters, and rather a situation made of the characters (more info).


The Order of the Stick: Thrice-weekly comic following a party of stick figures through their adventures. As another Dungeons and Dragons based comic, it, like many others, frequently makes joking references to the actual workings of the game. The comic itself focuses primarily on story (and a great one at that), though comedy is common, often in sardonic quips by the characters, and there is surprising detail in the art form, despite its simplicity (more info).


Cyanide and Happiness: Daily comics of amusing encounters. Humor has precedence over graphic realism, but I don't think that hurts this particular comic (more info).


Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal: Despite its name, this comic is a daily dose of delicious comedy, its themes often cynical or ironic situations of relationships, dire circumstances, or common clichés (more info).
