is a quarterly comic book being put out by the legendary Phil Folgio and his wife Kaja. The first issue is available online for free. A beautiful, funny, and utterly addictive little story.

is one of the Modern Tales sites. For $2.95 a month, you get access to the archives of some great comics; current comics and some previews are also available for free. I signed up for Dylan's Bite Me, but Dicebox and Kismet have also become rapidly addictive.

is another Modern Tales site, hosting Fans, Digger, Interplanetary Grift, Gun Street Girl, and a host of other fantastic comics. Girlamatic I like, but Graphic Smash I'm addicted to.

is a very subtle, very, very funny comic, although it's become sadly irregular. Proof that even normal lives can be terribly amusing.

is funny. And beautiful. And has tentacles, laser vision, and a soul cat. Read it.

is a sometimes very funny, sometimes very touching, always very worthwhile little comic about a man who sees the future for fun and profit. Beware the puns. And the fish. But mostly the puns.

is one of the two comics I absolutely must read every day, come hell, high water, or travel. It's addictive and funny and wry, and you find yourself rooting for the characters with a vigor that will surprise you.

is... science fiction. At its absolute best. Space mercenaries are funny, what can I say?

is the other comic I must read every day. It's bloody brilliant, one of the oldest and best. If you only read one webcomic, make it this one.

is a new discovery of mine, and one I'm quite pleased with. The delivery is irregular but the characters are excellent and the story is fascinating.

is bitter satire on the computer industry, in all its myriad little evils. If you're using a computer, you need to read this.
