Another extremely popular comic, The Perry Bible Fellowship is at its best when it makes you work to find the funny. It's brilliant at leaving out the right details for you to fill in.

See the same six panels every weekday at Dinosaur Comics. Only the dialogue changes, and these dinosaurs talk about philosophy, computers, language, and some other far more ridicoulous things besides.

A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language, xkcd uses stick figure drawings that look like they could be much more elaborate if the artist wanted them to be.

Goblins is another comic for the D&D vets, by a D&D vet. But this story is told from the point of view of the goblin band that will be an encounter for a party of first level characters, and the adventuring party of goblins that emerges from the encounter.

The next comic from the makes of Mac Hall, Three Panel Soul shows an interesting new artistic direction with the same social observation writing we got with Mac Hall.

Gone with the Blastwave looks like it should be a serious post-apocalyptic sci-fi comic. But it's got an insanely dark sense of humor that contrasts with its look so sharply that it took me a few pages before I realized that the absurdity was never going to let up.

The manga-style art alone makes The Zombie Hunters worth looking at. A ragtag team of zombie hunters find themselves stuck in an infested city, running out of ammunition and options.

Mac Hall started when it's two creators lived in Mac Hall at Bowling Green University, and ended shortly after the two graduated. It's notable for its impressive art.

The writing over at Inverloch is uneven. Sometimes it's excellent, but sometimes it's themes of racism and racial tolerance are way too heavy handed. The manga style art is always impressive, and the story comes to a satisfying resolution.

The first few strips sometimes have something to do with games, but after that megaGAMERZ 3133T spirals off into random nonsense and a huge mess of props. I have to love any comic that ends its run with a Deathrumble 6000.
