The Best Web Comics You've Never Read

Here at Project Epic, we advocate creativeness and artsmanship of the highest quality, whether it be music, books, anime, television, or games. Today I'm going to take a little time away from our usual rantings to talk about the best web comics you've never read.

On Your Feet and Poor Little Runia. Yes, I know there are plenty of other well known web comics, such as MegaTokyo and 8-Bit Theater, but I think when something is done during free time, it becomes less of an obsession and more of a fun thing to do. While I do not doubt the light-heartedness conveyed in both OYF and PLR, you do things for friends because you want to see them succeed. But don't think of this as just a favor, because these comics are really top-notch.

OYF spawned as a punk rock comic (as evidenced by the punk rock look of the characters) that was a bunch of one-panels to create a story. However, it became more than that. I rather find the art style positively unique, and that is, in a good way. While the characters have no huge back story, they portray quite a realistic view of the world today. Remember when we were teenagers, chugging along through high school to get the fuck out to graduate? That's what OYF conveys, and I give it the Remy Seal of Approval. Read it, laugh, and recommend it to your friends. It has the potential to be one of the best online comics ever if it were to get enough views.

I don't know much about Poor Little Runia, as it's just getting started, but you can definitely see the contrast between the art styles (both comics are done by the same artist, by the way). But it's nothing short of brilliant, I'm sure. With such few strips at the moment, unlike MegaTokyo or 8 Bit Theater, it's not hard to jump in. Plus, you get the novelty of saying you were reading it since the very beginning. Classy AND awesome at the same time.

Please, if you can take a simple twenty seconds of your time and vote for OYF to become one of the top web comics, please do so here. A little goes a long way, and I'm sure you'd want the same thing if you were drawing and putting effort into something like this. Anyways, that's it. As Ryan Seacrest would say, I'm out.
