I guess before I get into my big loud opinion, I should define what a webcomic is for everyone, hmm?
A webcomic is exactly what it says; a comic strip that is published primarily on the web. Some of the these comics are also published in traditional print books that can be purchased. According to Wikipedia, there are over 7,000 webcomics currently online.
I will not be reviewing all 7,000 of those comics. The fact is that the vast majority of them suck. They are written poorly and drawn like crap.
I'm going to be looking at comics that are exceptional to me in one way or the other. I'll start off with my already large group of sites that I check daily, and then expand from there. I will search out new webcomics that show promise, and review others to see if they'll catch my interest or yours.
I'm also going to be looking at the webcomics community. "Community?", you say. "How can it have a community? It's just a bunch of cartoons online." And that's exactly why I'll be spending a lot of time on that. It's amazing what happens when fans can easily reach and speak with their favorite artists and authors.
For now, I recommend that you give a look to the list of link that I've posted on the sidebar. They are some of my favorite comics, and some of the finest examples out there.

This is a good introduction to those of us unfamiliar with the subject matter. Are there rivalries between webcomic communities?
One of my favorite sections of the newspaper are the comic strips, however I've noticed that alot of the newer stuff is not good.
It never occurred to me that there would be webcomics that I could view. Reading your entries made me want to search for some better comics online. I really like strips along the lines of The Boondocks and Get Fuzzy...I read some of the Questionable Content strips and thought they were really good. Do you have any other suggestions other than those you've posted on the side bar?
This seems like a pretty cool idea. Do you or any of your friends have a Sony PSP?"
It seems like webcomics are all the rage these days. Thanks so much for your introduction into a world a I previously knew nothing about!
