A Webcomics Roundup
Robot 6 covered the recent Webcomic List Awards, but I'd like to bring attention to some of subscribed titles that I've been reading up on.
First up, Sin Titulo, by Cameron Stewart, gets my undying love. It's a shame the artist is working on as many major published comics as he's been, since it turns out the guy can write a pretty involving plot when left to his own devices. Then again, his work on the recent Assassin's Creed: The Fall mini has proven to be the most solid game-derivative title I've ever read.
Also in the breed of "sadly not updated as often as it should" is The Guns of Shadow Valley, which produced three volumes of back material in its weekly published days, though it now maintains a monthly schedule. It's a superpowered Western, though it tackles magical realism more enjoyably, for me, than say, Jonah Hex and The Sixth Gun have.
For quick, one panel laughs, there's Hello With Cheese, updated several times a week. It's a world of silly mashups, puns, and recently, a classic monster lexicon.
Karl Kerschl, Cameron's collaborator on the aforementioned Assassin's Creed comic, runs his own nature based romp in The Abominable Charles Chrsitopher. Still catching up on this one, but I enjoy its quietness.
Needless to say, there's tons of other pickings out there, but among the big names, Kate Beaton's Hark, A Vagrant has been nothing short of sexy. If you've got a webcomic you'd like to promote, make sure to drop a link in the comments.

Was that an open invitation for self-promotion? :P Or are we meant to post links to other peoples' webcomics? Either way, here's a link to mine, which has been updating a lot lately: http://rickworley.com . Recently a lot of the more autobiographical comics I've been doing have been focused on my dating life.
