So, since I didn't feel like bogging down the book recommendation thread with these kinds of recommendations, I just made this little place for anyone to place their favorite (or hysterically bad) web-comics, comics, graphic novels, whatever.
Let's just put this little template here again..
Title:
Type (webcomic, actual comic, graphic novel, etc.):
Author (if applicable, not necessary.):
Artist (if applicable, not necessary):
Genre/Topic:
Length of comic (as of your post for webcomics):
Series or single piece:
Details:
Extra:
Link (if applicable):
Teaser: (just use this if you'd like to post some art from the comic, give us a little tase of what to expect :3)
*Ahem*. Alright. Allow me to put all my little blurbs here~
Title: TwoKinds
Type: Webcomic
Author/Artist: Tom Fischbach
Genre/Topic: Fantasy, Medieval.
Length of comic: 727 pages
Series or single piece: ongoing series
Details: This story surrounds the adventures of an amnesiac yearning to learn of his origins. With the help of a scatter-brained tiger and a grumpy warrior, he travels the world learning to look towards the future, instead of the past.
Extra: The artist's been at this comic since he was in highschool, so the first few chapters are definitely not top-notch art. However, upwards of chapter five, the art gets pretty stupendous. Also, don't worry, there's lots of humans in this as well as my own people.

Title: Lackadaisy
Type: Webcomic
Author/Artist: Tracy J. Butler
Genre/Topic: Noire, Crime, 1920's.
Length of comic: 130 pages
Series or single piece: ongoing series
Details: The prohibition era of America saw an increase in organized crime, lawlessness, and cats. Witness the rise (and fall?) of Mississippi's self proclaimed best and greatest speak easy.
Extra: And by cats, yes, I mean that the entire cast of this comic is cats. In suits. With Thompson machine guns. And booze. Lots of booze. Though I should mention that the quality of art within the series is amazing, definitely check it out if you'd just like to appreciate some good drawin'.

Title: Watchmen
Type: Graphic Novel
Author: Alan Moore
Artist: Dave Gibbons, John Higgins
Genre/Topic: Crime, Vigilantism, Corruption, Conspiracy, Universal Enigmas, Etc.
Length of comic: 416 pages
Series or single piece: Single. (those prequel grabs for money don't count >:I)
Details: Richard Nixon celebrates his fourth term, Veidt industries sees a remarkable boom, masked heroes are outlawed into extinction, existing only in history books. All until the death of a comedian.
Extra: A VERY excellently detailed novel all around; both within the art and storyline. Each character is excellently fleshed out, right on down to the kid sitting on the sidewalk, reading comics. Just a warning, it does deal with some mature topics, mild nudity is to be expected, though is never overused. Just ask anyone who's read this, it's definitely worth the read.

..Alright, more to come later, but I'd like to see others
HAVE AT IT~!
