Read Any Good Webcomics?
Posted: Sun Jul 13, 2025 6:49 am
I used to read a whole bunch of webcomics back in the day, and only recently started trying to pick them up a bit again. It's nice having updates to look forward to in the mornings and a good time killer to read an archive of something you're just picking up.
Rain Burn
Rain Burn is a comic by Virmir that updates on Mondays and Fridays. It's a fun fantasy ongoing story with a lot of dragons and other fantasy creatures. a volcano dragon named Brand ends up on the wrong side of the powerful Quetzalcoatl dragons of the sky thanks to his kitsune companion Roko. The queen takes away his wings as punishment, but Princess Saida is sympathetic. She agrees to help get them back from the magical eyestone they're kept in, but a magical mishap causes Saida and Brand to switch bodies. Oh and Roko dies. It's okay, his soul gets to inhabit a balloon animal until the three can get everything set right again.
I started reading this one in the middle after finding it posted on Weasyl and I really love it! At first I just thought the art was kind of cute, but it genuinely grew and me, and when I got around to reading it from the start I really appreciated how well the comic hinted at events to come. It's wound up being a rather sprawling journey through dying forests, undersea kingdoms, and a power-mad eight-tailed kitsune's private island.
The author does a few other comics as well which have all been fun to read. I'm also keeping up with Panic!! Mysterious Dungeons an odd PMD comic about Virmir's sona getting brought into the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon universe and having to adapt to now being an Eevee.
Softies
Softies by Smeallie begins with the Earth exploding. ...leaving a kid named Kay as the sole survivor who happens to get picked up by an intergalactic space-waste collector looking for any good scrap! Its alien operator, Arizona ends up taking Kay in and they just kinda vibe throughout the galaxy trying to get by. Also aboard is Euclid, a fox-like alien with three eyes that has had some computer parts added to their brain. (I'm sorry I'm bad at knowing the species names and would have to dig through archives to find em again).
The stories are cute and the character dynamics work really well. Kay kinda doesn't want to deal with what it means for Earth to be gone and Arizona and Euclid are clearly struggling to make ends meet, leading to arcs about things like contesting a parking violation. A Yinglet boosted it on Mastodon so odds are a few of you saw it recently too.

Still gets updates sometimes!
What else am I sleeping on?
