Webcomic Recommendation: Muted ♡

Summary: "It has been thirteen years since the mysterious fire at the Severin family manor that killed Camille’s mother and twin sister, and the last thing Camille wants to do is return to her old home deep in the swamps of Louisiana. But she doesn’t have a choice. Deeply ingrained family tradition and Matriarch Athalie—Camille’s coldhearted aunt and head of the Severin household—demand it.

When the time comes for Camille to perform the demon-summoning blood ritual that every prospective matriarch in her family must complete, she is afraid of making a mistake. No matter how hard she tries to be a witch worthy of the Severin name, nothing is ever good enough for her aunt. Camille has practiced and practiced, but instead of the beat of demonic wings or the snap of talons, her blood calls forth evergreen vines and leaves. Terrified of what this might mean, she flees into the swamp.

But her failed ritual gives her something precious: time away from Aunt Athalie. Time to spend with her beloved familiar Toben and kindly cousin Silvia. And—unbeknownst to her—time to fall in love, discover the truth of her magic, reunite with long lost family, work through her grief, and solve the mystery of who killed her mother and sister."

Mind scans in 2021 show that Jean Grey's telepathy is a 7 or off the scale, meaning she has nearly infinite telepathic energy. Meanwhile, she is not even at the peak of her power yet and has been displaying high powers proving her place in the telepath range

At the same time, mind scans are the strongest evidence that Jean Grey is the most powerful telepath

How am I supposed to find indie webcomics? I’m up-to-date on a handful of them and love them all but I’m just not sure how to find new ones. Most searches for webcomics lead you to the mainstream sites.

I mean mainstream sites are fine in and of themselves if you're following the series you like there (especially if the creators of those comics are trying to opt into things like Ad Rev), but if you're wanting to find stuff outside of Webtoons and Tapas, here are some other methods to do so:

Random Webcomic - About as unbiased as you can get, literally sends you to the website for a comic it pulls at random. All comics in the roulette are user-submitted so for the most part, they're all still active or at least have live sites. Sometimes you'll find the odd broken link tho ;0

Top Webcomics - A collective of webcomics competing for top spots. Offers plenty of ad space where people advertise their comics whether or not they make it to the top of the voting pool. And has genre listings you can browse if competitive listings aren't your thing.

The Webcomic List - A collection of webcomics submitted by users that are then crawled by the site's bots to check for new updates. It has a list for most recently updated, but also sorts by genre. Definitely one of the most "old school" listings to exist.

SpiderForest - A jury-picked collection of webcomics. Once every year or two they open submissions where people can pitch their new or ongoing comics - if they're picked, they get a special listing and features on the site, and can either have their existing website affiliated with SF branding or have a new site created for them by the staff. It's all non-profit and it mostly serves as a community of creators and readers, they are not a publisher, but they offer a wide variety of titles.

Hiveworks - Similar concept to SpiderForest except they're an actual publisher so they offer even more benefits to their selected creators including print deals and merchandising, but as such they're way harder to get into. Their submissions have been closed for a VERY long time but they offer a wide array of comics that typically appeal to general-audiences (i.e. there are no NSFW comics AFAIK).

GlobalComix - A platform that, while not new anymore, has been making strides in competing with platforms like Webtoons and Tapas. Has a lot of Western-style comics but their library variety has been growing and I'm pretty sure they're planning on releasing an app soon (if they haven't already).

ComicFury - The final frontier of old school early 2000's webcomic platforms. Run by one guy, this site allows for full HTML/CSS customization, domain hosting, and all those fun little things from an era long gone by. The front page sorting is set to "Recently updated" by default so there's no algorithm bullshit, no editors playing favorites, just classic 2000's era reading.

As a final note, the best part about browsing for comics that have their own sites is that they usually include listings of other comics that are similar to their own. Sites like Tamberlane will often have roulettes of other recommended comics that you can sift through.

There are plenty other comic aggregation sites out there too, of course, but these ones should help you get started if you're looking for other platforms and archives that aren't subject to corporate scrubbing or picky algorithms. It helps decentralize the Internet just a little bit more and rejuvenate what made webcomics so amazing in the first place - independent ownership, accessibility, and unapologetic existence.

Enjoy! <3

how do you suggest getting into batfamily comics? i’m pretty new to the fandom :)

If you’re into the fun fluffy family stuff then the WFA webtoon and Dustin Nguyen’s Li’l Gotham are really good. Then if you’re a BTAS fan the Batman Adventures series takes place in that continuity. A lot of stuff when the CCA was active has that goofy fun batman content that is kinda day to day. Also DCs early like YA graphic novels like Oracle Rising, Poison Ivy Thorns, The Lost Carnival are good for if you want one-shot easy reads in their own universes.

Obvi there are the classic BATMAN stories that don’t focus as much on the family, but can contextualize and are good. So books like Year One, Long Halloween, Dark Victory, Killing Joke, and Hush. Then there are more old school classic batfamily comics like Death in the Family, Under the Red Hood, Batman Inc, Batman Who Laughs, and City of Owls. For these, if you don’t have the patience to read, DCAMU has stellar animated movie adaptations.

To Cringe or Not To Cringe Newest video dropping for youtube!  This time we’re switching gears to spread some positivity and support with Rainbow Jack and her Semi-Wholesome Queer Commie Memes Appropriation Crew, featuring Mukluk and Chapeau. Still working my way through learning the ropes of audio and video editing but I feel like we’re getting there.  I hope you all enjoy and maybe those who need to hear it get a boost from the support.  If ya do, drop a comment or a like, throw a subscribe or share it around.  It’s rough out there so stay warm and hang tight.

SKIP 1

Skip a lot because it’s kinda bad and there is a lot of creative choices that are just straight up not it. Frank Cho (the artist for most of the stuff I’m skipping) is a gross creep who over sexualizes all the female characters to the point of no return. All you need to know is that Red Hulk is General Ross and Red She Hulk is Betty Ross

SKIP 2

Civil War 2

This comic is straight ass there is no point in reading it except for the art maybe. All you need to know is that Hawkeye technically kills Bruce Banner and the hulk. Seriously don’t read this it’s annoyingly infuriating

Immortal HULK

Vols 1-50

• Most emotional hulk run

• Goes into everything from the hulks past

• Shows the horror and tragedy of the hulk while also showing the power of it

Phillip Kennedy Johnson HULK run

Vols 1-on going

• Newest HULK run

• Not going to say anything because it is new but it’s pretty much just more of immortal hulk but less ( that sounds like an insult but that’s actually a compliment)
