Manga, American comic, indie, idc. I’m not super picky.
Highly recommend Frieren. It also has an ongoing anime series if you’re interested
I’m caught up on the anime. I really don’t watch much anime anymore but a friend recommended it and I really like it. Speaking of which, have you heard of Faraway Paladin? It’s not THE BEST but it’s good enough. Very much “Lord of the Rings but anime” vibe.
Glad you like it! Have not heard of Faraway Paladin though but I’ll check it out
How much labour action does it have?
What do you mean by “labour action”? I might be able to answer afterwards
I didn’t really read the title, I just thought the image was interesting. What’s it from?
Its from an anime called Little Witch Academia. Although I believe it was rebooted at least once so I’m not sure which iteration it came from.
im surprised no one has said it yet but XKCD
Questionable content
Started really good, but kinda fell off in story quality
Yeah, I made a similar comment above. It starts slow, but hits a really good stride after a while. However, it felt like it ran it’s course years ago (felt like they kept making up more drama to keep things going) and it’s still going.
I’m the Grim Reaper.
A woman in a dystopian future dies and doesn’t remember her lifetime. She’s in the line to get judged in Hell when Lucifer pops up and says he’s a big fan of her work, and offers her a deal: reap sinners for him so she can still be in the world of the living and to delay her eternal punishment. She ends up working with a former detective who knows the criminal element of the city for her to reap people they think deserve it.
It’s a great drama about morality, and how fucked up people can get in bad situations. Along with one of the best versions of Satan I’ve ever seen.
Solo Levelling manhwa
Kill Six Billion Demons.

The artist presumably survives on a diet consisting entirely of heavy metal and Adderall.

I liked Aurora, but I haven’t checked in on it in a couple years so idk how the new chapters are.
Aurora is still great. Arc 2 just started last month.
Thanks for the suggestion! I took a look at it and I was like… This art looks familiar" before I saw the authors name. I forgot red was doing a comic.
Edit: I caught up. It’s very good
Obviously Questionable Content. It’s still great, in fact it’s only gotten better with age, as Jeph has continued to grow and mature as an artist and a writer. If you’re getting into it for the first time, power through the first few hundred strips (as in, skim read as required), the journey is well worth it.
Gunnerkrigg Court is a fantastic modern fantasy adventure. Imagine a kind of really weird, really offbeat take on the whole “Kid gets sent to a magic school” genre. It’s one to read from the beginning (it has, like, actual plot and stuff), but the best possible “trailer” I could give is this one page from the start of Chapter 14; no spoilers, just a really good glimpse into what this comic is like. Friendly ghosts, goofy robots, and malevolent trickster gods abound.
Finally, I absolute have to recommend Seemingly Dark. Disclaimer; Jules, the writer and artist, is a friend of mine. That being said, I’d recommend this even if she wasn’t. Jules is an amazing artist, with a real skill for creating interesting, believable, and likeable characters. It’s a modern horror gothic noir about ghosts, monsters, and struggling with anxiety and depression (and lots more things besides; I’m probably doing it a disservice with so reductive a pitch). Anyways, I really do think everyone should give it a look.
(As an aside, all three of these comics prominently feature LGBT characters, for those of you who are looking for a little more representation in your reading life).
Slowly going through all the suggestions. I really like seemingly dark so far, thanks :)
Check out The Other End. Strange, often absurd and very funny IMHO. A recent find that I’m glad to have stumbled across!

A lot of webcomics are a collection of independent, funny pages. This one’s actually a story about a kid who starts seeing ghosts. It’s crunchy, each character has a unique voice and they’re all nuanced. Lately, the artist/author has dialed back the amount of art on each new page by a lot and that makes me sad, but the story is still great.
Just finished ch. 1, I like it so far, thanks :)
I’ve been getting back into Something Positive recently. It’s a good one that’s been running for a long time. The author also has another one he recently started, Mousetrapped, which builds on the recently-public domain Steamboat Willie and incorporates other old-timey (public domain) cartoon characters.
Welp. I caught up. Time to wait for updates. Great suggestion
Mage and Demon Queen?
