The Webcomic Planet Collective!

My favourites.
	Rival Angels is set in the world of professional wrestling. As long as you know that its (mostly) scripted then you can have a lot of fun watching it and this is no exception with some great action sequences, Albone really brings the world of wrestling to comics brilliantly.
	Walking the Lethe is a cracking webcomic from an American duo operating out of Holland and working with two artists on the opposite side of the globe. It is a mature webcomic featuring the supernatural, deamons and slightly jaded building superintendents. Its wonderfully drawn and the writing is tense and gripping and I definitely urge you all to get on board and check it out!
	Amya is a new webcomic which already impresses with delicately drawn art and a nice fantasy/renaissance-ish storyline which is attractive. The comic overall is off to a very good start and its making me really want to read which is what comics are all about isn’t it? Give it a go.
	The Zombie Hunters pits a bunch of misfit youngsters infected with a zombie plague against the authoritarian bureaucracy of the last surving bastion of civilization on earth and…loads of zombies. There is more to it than that and it manages to build tension to breaking point before going straight to tense action scenes interwoven with witty and hilarious dialogue.
	Terra is a sci-fi webcomic that has been running for around a year now and has by and large existed below the radar which is a shame because the art is superb and the writing subtle in delivering its themes of wars that cannot be won and discrimination as well as reconciliation between species. Influenced I feel by the events of the past ten years here on earth it depicts a very hawkish and two super powers fighting each other and a multi-species insurgency who just want everyone to get along. Give it a go, its great!
	Dovecote Crest is something which will be familiar to re-enactors and passionate small time historians the world over. A rag-tag bunch of people run a small center dedicated to keeping the memory of the American Civil War battle of Dovecote Crest alive. Romance, historical discoveries and even a bit of the supernatural abound. A definite must read.
	Marsh Rocket is a very influential comic for me. Written by Jules Rivera it is set far in the future where mercenaries fight for control of a mysterious briefcase. The style is visually challenging and stunning while the storyline keeps you hooked for the duration. A superb benchmark for me to follow.
	Red Moon Rising can be best described as an opaque and ever shifting beast of a comic where just when you think you’ve got the webcomic is all figured out, it changes again. The steampunk/fantasy theme is very well thought out and the art is almost dreamlike in its style and is getting better all of the time. A dead cert.
	You may mistake Trying Human as a run of the mill and quirky comic with aliens. This is inaccurate as the comic has a pretty good stab at illustrating the complex politics that any encounter with aliens would cause amongst Humans. Now you know why the Men in Black want to keep it all a secret from you!
	031 is different from other post apocalyptic comics in that most of the cast are incredibly fit (i.e. hot). When this has been put behind us, we are introduced to an super devastated San Francisco which appears to have been lovingly recreated from the prime of its career into the last death throes before the fatal shot is administered. Recommended reading.
	Nothing Better by Tyler Page plies its trade as a subtle, smooth and classy view on modern life in higher education in America. The place has hundreds of Colleges and Universities which would be viewed as quirky in the UK in that a fair few are religious in their foundation (if not their nature). This one is set in the state of Montana and follows the life of two female room-mates in that other quirk of non-British Uni life: sharing a room. Take a chance on it, seriously; just think of it as an advanced version of Daria.
