Results tagged “webcomics” from Science Ninja Action Team: Cosmic Hellcats IX
In the process of learning to become a hot, successful webcomicker, I spend a lot of time looking for other comics to enjoy and learn from. Sadly, there are thousands to choose from and it's surprisingly rare how often I find one that captures my interest. Here are a couple awesome exceptions that I've found over the last few weeks.
1) Paradox Lost
Like too many webcomics, this is the story of a couple of kids who like video games. However, it's funnier than most I've run across. The characters are cute and likeable and personally I appreciate their love of coffee, when in other places so often the love of beer is glorified. I'm more of a coffee guy. There are also lots of ninjas and pirates, so that doesn't hurt. I've thoroughly enjoyed the story and can't wait for what happens next--but I have to, because the one flaw of Paradox Lost is that it doesn't update super-regularly and seems to be in the midst of a long gap at the moment. Still, I recommend visiting the webcomic list and subscribing to Paradox Lost so you can be notified when it does update. (And while you're at it, why not subscribe to Cosmic Hellcats, too? :)
If you read far enough into Paradox Lost, you will see some spectacular artwork.
2) Precocious
It's not often that I actually LOL when reading comics, but Precocious is seriously funny. It follows the exploits of a bunch of gifted school children who for no particular reason happen to be animals (just like the Hellcats!) The characters are awesomely adorable and the stories are very engaging. I don't think I've enjoyed a comic strip this much since Bill Watterson retired. Seriously, go read it.
Here's the link to subscribe at TWCL, which I am apparently also plugging, since it's the site I use to keep track of the comics I read.
I hope everyone has been enjoying Cosmic Hellcats so far. We've been working hard trying to both move the storyline along and make each installment interesting at the same time. I hope we're holding your interest. If you get a chance either leave us a comment or drop us a line and let us know what you think. The current storyline should be wrapping up in the next month or so and then we will be on to the next one. I hope you keep with us til then and beyond.
I wanted to take this moment to mention some other webcomics that I have been enjoying lately. Things that, while not directly related, probably inspire me on some level or another. So fi you like Cosmic Hellcats, then you may want to check some of these out.
1. Menage a 3 - Like Three's Company but way more sexy. The life of a geek and his oversexed attractive two female roommates.
2. Evil Inc. - What happens when supervillains get tired of losing to heroes? They move their evil off the streets and into the 21st century. The corporate boardroom.
3. Spacetime Condominium - A guy gets evicted from his apartment and moves into a luxury condo at the edge of reality. His new roommate? Parallel universe versions of himself.
All three of them are quite funny and worth checking out. And make sure your friends all check out Cosmic Hellcats. And vote for us on the webcomic boards linked at the top of the main page of this site. Max and I have the dream of one day doing this comic fulltime. When that happens you could have a new Hellcats everyday, but that can't happen unless we become a lot more popular. You can help us out!
And while you're at it, buy the original Cosmic Hellcats paper comic, available from our bookstore! We hope to have a followup issue sometime soon as well, but until that happens we'd love to know what you think of the first one, so check it out!
