ADVOCATING. In which I tell you about Great Webcomics

One thing I've been trying to do; is to criticize less and advocate more.  Problem is, stuff usually sucks, and I don't feel bad about calling them out on their crap (when your best song is a cover of blink 182's dammit, you are deserving of the opposite of praise).  So that leaves me thinking. I would like to be ahead of the game and say more nice things than negative.  So i changed my game up, instead of criticizing less, i'm just gonna tell people about legitimately awesome things more.  Luckily for all of you I have impeccable taste and will be only giving you the good stuff. 

HERE ARE SOME WEBCOMICS BABY:

Paranatural-Paranatural is a really fun series about a character named Max and the Activity Club who are paranaturalists (supernatural + paranormal) and protect their town from paranatural threats.  The art starts a bit slow but all of a sudden you find the comic in full color with amazing panels and hilarious story.

Manly Guys Doing Manly Things-The story of Commander Badass the time traveling space marine who runs a firm that reintergrates extremely macho men into society.  The comic is awesome, the writer/artist is extremely talented (he's a professional animator) and puts a hilarious take on what would happen to Kratos in the modern day after all the god smashing.

Zen Pencils-One of my personal favorites.  The idea is simple.  He takes a famous quote and does a comic either around it or illustrating it.  Here's a link to my personal favorite, his take on Bukowski.

Hark! A Vagrant! - Kate Beaton runs a comic lampooning famous literature, history, and other things that are usually taken way to seriously in amazing fashion.  If you want a good place to start; here is her comic about The Great Gatsby.

JL8-Justice League Kids!  And it's done really well!  A cute as hell romp through the early years of the Justice League need I say more?

AXE COP-I really doubt Axe Cop needs my help in getting their name out seeing as they DO IT ALL.  The premise behind this comic is simple the older brother illustrates his 5 year old little brother's stories.  The results?  Hilarious.  (if you get really into the series, they're doing an animated cartoon with Nick Offerman as the voice of Axe Cop).

You're all welcome for the great new webcomics.  As thank you, you're welcome to tell your friends about TheBrilliantBastard.com anyway you like (share this or other posts, post this stuff on youtube, like my Facebook page that his conveniently linked in the top right corner, etc. etc.)
