Sluggy Freelance

Sluggy Freelance almost made the top 5. It's one of the oldest webcomics online, the archives go back 8 years or so, which means that it will take you sometime to read through them. However, it is very, very worth it. Sluggy Freelance is a story based comic which did something known as the "cerebus syndrome", where it started off as just a collection of gags, but eventually added character depth to the extent that it was able to get away with strips with no jokes at all (well, almost).

Basically about two friends and they're ridiculous adventures, fighting aliens, vampires, bunnies and kittens, sluggy freelance has inventive and exciting adventures, which are often very amusing.

Unfortunately, recently it has slowed down a little. The most recent plot line, oceans unmoving, has drawn some critisism for the introduction of a whole raft of characters who we couldn't care less about, with a confusing plot line thats difficult to keep hold of. However, after an age, the plotline is finally ending (after finally managing to elicit some interest in the characters) and hopefully it will get back into the swing of things.

Sluggy Freelance needs patience, especially at the start, but it has an army of fans that suggest theres something to it. I'm one of them.
