El Goonish Shive. Quite possibly my favorite webcomic besides Order of the Stick. It's about the wacky slice-of-life adventures of a group of teens that are in someway, shape, or form involved with the Supernatural. Or Aliens. It has a god and large archive with a steadily improving art style.

As for the title, to quote, "Because [it] Sounds like one big awkward moment."

http://questionablecontent.net/ QC. A longrunning Slice-of-life webcomic with sentient A.I.s integrated into society. It begins with Marten Reed, a depressed loner with his only friends being a Macho Bro Dude, and Pintsize, his pervert of a computer. Then one day, he meets Faye in a bar, befriends her, and after her apartment burns down, offers her to be his roommate. Thus Marten's life grow, he gains more friends and saying any more would ruin it. Go Read.

http://twokinds.keenspot.com/ Another of my favorites. Amnesiac Trace Legacy wakes up in a forest and encounters Tiger-girl Flora. Flora is a Keidran, a race of animal-like bipeds that Humanity is at war with for quite some time. Probably because the Keidran went to war with them first for all the slavery. Trace finds out he was the former leader of the Templars, the Magic Military/government, and basically a villain. So He and Flora a set off on a journey to the town a Lynknoll, a place where it's rumored Keidran and Humans live together in harmony.

I kept up with QC for awhile. It was okay, but ultimately wasn't my cup of tea. I'd give it a second recommendation, it's not bad at all.
<Afina> Imagine a tiny pixie boot stamping on a devil's face.
<Afina> Forever.

<Yuthirin> Afina, giant parasitic rainbow space whale.
<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Got some really good scenework in there, that comic does.
Well, Goodbye.

Been keeping up with these two for awhile since they started.

First is Saint for Rent, www.saintforrent.com A webcomic about a guy named Saint who runs a way-station/Inn for time travelers. It's a bit slow to update but it's well draw an has some animations sometimes. and I find it unique that the same character can be in the Inn multiple times at once with no consequence.

Next is Stand Still Stay Silent, http://www.sssscomic.com/index.php A post-apocalypse story set in Scandinavia 90 years after a virus wipes out most of the world's population and filled it with monsters. It follows an underpaid, under-qualified, under-staffed, rag-tag bunch of misfits hired to head head out into the dangerous outside world and collect the priceless treasure of...Books. Beautifully drawn and updates regularly. The author has a previously finished webcomic based on Scandinavian folklore called A Red Tail's Dream which you can find Here: http://www.minnasundberg.fi/comic/page00.php

PBF seems to be updating regularly again.

Dracos

Caught up on that.   It is what it is.
Well, Goodbye.

Sometimes a soap-box, but either way an interesting comic checking 'what if' around superpowers.  Follows a young Super-woman type who's decided that punching the bad guys of the world isn't good enough.
Well, Goodbye.

Kind of a neat worksetting.  Storybook named characters can walk between worlds, bringing along indistinct powers.
Well, Goodbye.

http://www.harpygee.com/index.php?id=1 Kind of a cute comic I glanced through recently.  It follows a friendship seeking elf who lost her magic to her pet magic eating cat and a prince who's become a monster.  Only a couple of story sections in, mostly covering character background at this point as it started last year.

http://namesakecomic.com/ - A story about a Dorthy that isn't Dorthy ending up in wonderland in a world where story worlds are real and those that are namesakes of the original stories can enter them and companion writers can write and change the story.
Well, Goodbye.

Getting started on that right now. I like the worldbuilding thus far. The map pretty much sums it up: http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=66

Some of the characters remind me more of old newspaper comics (in a way that is neither good nor especially bad) than an epic adventure, as they're initially introduced as unrealistic walking gags. Like the guy who was so spaced out that he never realized he's being hired to go out to explore Eldritch Landscape of Horrors until he's already on the boat. Having read Redtail's Dream before this I can trust the author to go somewhere with it.

A splendid webcomic I've found recently and am now keeping up with. It follows the adventures of Sebastian Jalek, a morally ambiguous hero who tries to defeat an evil demon lord terrorizing the countryside and...fails. The price he pays to stay alive? Join the team of evil.
Which is not all as bad as it seems. Sure you do bad things like blowing up towns, raising armies of undead, but while the methods may be evil, the goals are entirely neutral.

What's this? A place to recommend webcomics? How have I not discovered this before? Why, I have hundreds of webcomics bookmar-er....
*cough*
I mean I can recommend a few.

http://soultocall.com/
First up is this little gem here. Soul to Call is creepy, bloody, and full of truly twisted looking, sanity reducing monsters. It's set in a post apocalyptic world where otherworldly beasts and shadows roam, hunting anyone foolish enough to enter their territory. The story stars a girl named Avril, as she hunts for a creature called an Anathema in a forest of ruined buildings where horrific monsters stalk their prey. She runs into a polite, nervous young man named Eli, who has glowing red eyes. The art is really very good and I absolutely love the way the artist draws the character's facial expressions. Definitely not for the faint of heart though. The monsters are twisted and the humans sometimes come to bloody ends.
Updates regularly.

I really like this one. The art maybe isn't the best, but the storytelling, characters, and dialogue are top notch and I don't say that lightly. Daddy's Girl is about a martial artist named Andy Wilcox. She'd like to live her life in peace and has promised her family that she won't fight anymore, but she can't seem to stand by and let bad people do bad things without delivering a hefty beatdown. Things go from bad to worse when she accidentally puts a mob boss's prize fighter out of commission in a barroom brawl and she's forced to fight in her place. I really like the way the artist draws action sequences.
Finished.

Hmm. I shall have to consider a bit before I recommend any others. My webcomic addiction is a powerful thing, not to be taken lightly.
