Webcomic Reviews!

Here I will review six webcomics that I view everyday! All are yuri, of course, as is a huge point of my blog here at Blogspot (besides the whole technology and politics thing).

El Goonish Shive - http://www.egscomics.com/
My favourite webcomic ever. EVER. It's got all sorts of things to it. It's really into science and technology, personal identity, has interesting fantasy-like storylines, and a really awesome character named Nanase that rocks. The whole thing rocks.

Girly - http://go-girly.com/
I read 400 strips in the archive in one night this past summer and was completely thrilled. It was really good. Unfortunately, the current storyline doesn't interest me all that much. But the past is funny, it's cute, and it's heros are named Otra and Winter. Okay, maybe not the best names, but it's still cool!

Striptease - http://stripteasecomic.com/
I've been following this comic off and on for about two years now, and the problem is that the author takes long hiatuses so I forget to check up. But the artwork has progressed to an amazing level, especially when the strips are colored - wow! And the storyline is complex, there's been a fair amount of action in the past, so I'm hoping this current storyline goes in a good direction as well. My character of choice here is Rachel.

The Lounge - http://thelounge.comicgenesis.com/
This comic follows Italy as she runs a manga/gaming store with a bunch of friends. It's got a lot of funny stuff, especially since there are these sisters from Germany that are at odds with her (but Rain is soooooo hot anyway) and the story is actually pretty R rated, but... it's totally worth it for the nerdy jokes!

YU+ME - http://yume.comicgen.com/
This is one of my more fecent finds, a story about a girl going to a private school who learns about herself. The current storyline is actually quite amusing, as her gay friend is giving her a test on, well, something I'm not going to mention here. Teeheehee!

Flipside - http://www.flipsidecomics.com/
I actually discovered this webcomic while doing debate research on Wal-Mart because I was sick of researching. It's a great find, about a knight named Bernadette and a jester named Maytag in a post-medeival (however the hell you spell that) world. It's long, is more like a manga than anything, and have I mentioned it's awesome? Yup. My second favourite!

Over the past years, I've enjoyed many more webcomics than these, but these are all YURI!! making them awesome. In my opinion. But that's just me :-)
