Default Webcomics

As some of you may have gleaned I'm an avid reader of comics (manga, American, and web), well I've already done a thread of the manga I'd recommend and I think American comics may have been included in there. So I figured I'd give you all a list of the webcomics I read regularly, feel free to tell me what you think or add your own:

Looking For Group: This is by far my favorite comic, it's about a sadistic warlock, an altruistic/naive elf, their companions, and their efforts to save the world they're in. Despite the presence of a plot it is hilarious and definitely worth a read; Jack reads this comci as well.

Emergency Exit: Just found this a week ago, it starts off really random but after a while it developes a plot; it never loses its sense of humor. It's about a bunch of kids that have to travel across dimensions, but mostly it's about Eddie and I can't say anything else without ruining the Funny.

Parallel Dementia: I found this one through Emergency Exit. There's no real comedy in it, it's a plot fueled comic set in a "dying world" where Nightmares pass through dimensional barriers. It focuses on Fall Boxer and the companions she acquires. (once again, little plot detail to avoid spoilers)

Darken: I've been reading this one for a year or two now, it's about a fellow who gets recruited by Mephistopheles to acquire these powerful artifacts, he meets up a group of "friends" and go on their way.

Zebragirl: I found this a long time ago... basic plot is that three friends find a magic tome and one of them gets turned into a demon. It starts off funny and off the wall, but eventually becomes serious and gets a plot; it updates irregularly in the worst possible way.

Fanboys: A nintendo fanboy, a sony fanboy, and a microsoft fangirl live together, it's pretty funny; he hasn't updated in a few months now, so I guess it would be "on hiatus" or possibly "dead".

VGcats: I imagine most of you know about this one, it parodies and/or comicly reviews a lot of video games.

For anyone who likes "pretty pictures" it should be noted that the art in most of these starts off significantly worse than what you'll see on the newest pages (which is where most of the links will take you)

It's been a few months and I decided that I'd put up some more of the webcomics that I read regularly (note: I've been reading most of these for a while, I just didn't want to put them all up before)

Gone With the Blastwave: This is actually my favorite comic, more so than LFG, it's about a group of soldiers who are part of a post-apocolyptic war; their not very good at what they do.

Rock, Paper, Cynic: The fellow who makes this one, also sings original songs and writes short stories. It's a collection of what I call minor philosophy and funny sayings; his songs are really good too.

Zap in Space: This comic is pretty enjoyable, the art goes from being passable to excellent and the plot is kinda Star Wars-esque. It's one of those funny-with-a-plot type comics.

Nerf Now: Catas actually recommended this one to me in the "Valve-Related Comics" thread. It's not all about tf2 but the artist does do a lot of tf2 related story arcs; since most of the community does/has play(ed) tf2 I figure it'll just make it that much better.

I rather enjoyed blastwave. Unfortunately, he never seemed to update on a regular schedule so I kind of fell out of it. Bet yes, easily one of the best I've read.

EDIT: Nerfnow is a great comic, only problem is it seems to go down quite a bit.

I have one some of you may get a kick out of. Darths & Droids Imagine some guys role playing through the star wars prequels (I guess star wars doesn't exist in this universe) It's a pretty awesome web comic IMHO
