RPG by Stacie Ponder
RPG is a high-fantasy webcomic that pays tribute to the conventions found in well-loved roleplaying games from yesterday and today. The comic follows Alyth, a farm girl who finds herself cast in the unlikely role of world-saving hero when her village is destroyed. She journeys all across the land of Hyberia and battles fearsome monsters, loots every dead body she can, acquires party companions, visits taverns, levels up, and completes quests both large and small as she attempts to foil the forces of evil.

Memoirs of life as a part-time lesbian and a full-time Christian

This is a collection of sweet and silly memoirs that will hopefully reach you, whether you are gay or think you may be gay or worry about the church finding out you are thinking about maybe being gay, or whether you just like the gays and comics and me.

Hero by Hwei
HERO is a story about a perfectly ordinary boy with no memory of the past and no urgency for the future; who one day accepts a most extraordinary offer to travel to distant places and invisible cities.
Hwei uses a really cool technique where the caption pop up as you pass your cursor over the panels, so you get a nice good look at all the art!

The Fox Sister written by Christina Strain, art by Jayd Aït-Kaci
Serving as Strain’s reaction to traditional Korean folklore, The Fox Sister is something of a mystical thriller with some horror and even some comedic elements thrown in.

Warrior U by Aisha Thani
Warrior U follows the adventures of Finn, a small, effeminate, unruly young lad, and his rise to, almost unachievable, manhood. He WANTS to take a course on becoming a bard, but instead ends up, like so many of us do, in a completely unrelated class that he HAS to pass if he wants to get anywhere. That class is warrior class where he befriends the reluctant Harv.
And then there’s lots of crazy stuff like; Homicidal unicorns, ghoulish Headmasters, Cross-dressing girls and the occasional Cameleopard.
History-Themed Webcomics Wednesday
Red Plains, written by Caryn A. Tate
Red Plains is an authentic, ongoing comic book series that is centered on a town filled with murder, lust, and greed. The series deals with the West as it really was – violent and unpredictable – and doesn’t fall back on any tired tropes. And, just like reality, the actions of and decisions made by a single character have an impact on other characters and the world in which they live.
The series features a diverse cast of characters – the main characters include the wealthy Latino family the Escovidos; rancher Doug Stevens and his spoiled son, Jackson; struggling father/daughter farmers Isaac and Rose Templeton; and the local politicians, prostitutes, cowboys, and Sheriff Doles and his deputies, who are trying to keep a lid on things.

Fortune’s Fools, art by Melanie Olm
The king is mad, the court unstable, and the truce with England is fragile at best. It’s the turn of the fifteenth century—the midst of the Hundred Years’ War—and a desperate France needed heroes.
It got something else.
Recently arrived, Gektar and his enslaved manservant, Heinrich, navigate their way through the disloyal nobles, ambitious courtiers, and countless anachronisms that make up the court of King Charles the Mad. The kingdom is a web of intrigue and insanity, but its only hope rests in a cheerfully unaware German and his meek and depressed companion.
Fortune’s Fools is a serial webcomic in the court of King Charles the Mad during the One Hundred Years’ War.
There was a King Charles. He was crazy. And some of the events do conform to the historical timeline. Everything else is fair game.

On the Edge by Leisl Adams
On The Edge is many things; An Alice in Wonderland inspired tale where Alice has grown up in a Wonderland populated by Cats, Demons, and Elves, among other strange creatures. And it is also about our inner Demons, personified through Mr. Negative and The Demon Society, who feed off of our emotions, without us even knowing it! It explores psychology, mental health, phobias, love, and depression, with a bit of law enforcement mixed in. It’s non-sensical and fun, and I hope you enjoy it!
