Some of my favorite web-comics
I love a good story, well-told, with interesting and multi-dimensional characters. It doesn’t matter what genre nor what medium is used to present the story, though I am biased toward something I can read, whether on-screen or printed, as opposed to something I simply sit and watch.
One source of stories is on-line, serially-published graphic novels, better known as web-comics. In this form, the story progresses one or two pages at a time which appear anywhere from once a month to daily. The most common schedule is to post one page once a week on a particular day though twice a week is rather common as well.
There are a lot of comics out there so whether your tastes run to steampunk, fantasy, drama, comedy, gag-a-day, adventure, superheroes, or something else, you are almost certainly going to find something of interest to you.

Meeting up with new friends and companions along the way,
