Webcomics

I read a few webcomics here and there but overall I've read many. The most notable and obvious one would be Homestuck. As a Tumblr user, it was inevitable hearing about it and how it created a mini-renaissance is cool as hell. The music, flash games, gifs, unique readability, characterization, and how all types of conflict and elements that make an epic being present is even cooler. It's even better when Andrew Hussie had Toby Fox do the music, so much of Homestuck's fanbase helped Undertale's unexpected popularity to the point of overexposure effect. I could go on and on with how much research was put into Homestuck and how masterful the entire story is written from subtle foreshadowing to all these hints where you'd realllly need to know what to look for to have some chance in hell to actually find it. A lot of these things may just be an accident, but what were the odds of them happening regardless? Especially when the comic updated regularly and erratically where it would parallel or reference real-world events that happened that day. Another webcomic I read was hyperbole and a Half where there was a lot of dark, cynical humor. Similarly to Cyanide and Happiness, another comic I like to read occasionally. Another one I read is Problem Sleuth, the comic Hussie wrote before Homestuck, being Homestuck's prototype. 

Superheroes Reconsidered

Of three comics I read, I liked "Saga" the most because of the art was superior, writing tight, and character design well drawn. Due to little time, I couldn't read all that much of it, and could only skim the other two, "Manhatten Project" and "Dr. Who Star Death". Art-wise, "Dr. Who Star Death" isn't stylized and made it hard to get into and "Manhatten Project's" stylized art isn't too appealing for me, though I would have tried harder if not for the last of the semester becoming hectic and not knowing what to say a lot of in general being difficult as it is.

Women's Comics

The best part about the women's comics is how humanized the characters are and how interesting the most mundane thing can be. "This one Summer" has excellent characterization and the whole thing can easily be binged. "Lumberjanes" has a nice aesthetic, interesting setup, and the setting has that sense of familiarity but kept fresh enough to feel boring. "Pretty Deadly" has a great female lead for the type of story and the overall dynamic with her master is unique to say the least.
