Then I'm gonna go ahead and nominate @phen's There's No Such Thing As Jason - I.T. because I am so very, very hyped for chapter 18 starting next Monday. It's a truly mind-bending psychological drama with absolutely phenomenal art that I've been following for a few years now, and it's always high up on my list of recommendations. There's honestly nothing else quite like it.
I totally gotta nominate Endless Night Encore by @LannaEXP ! It's such a charming, witty, funny comic, and i truly love it with all my heart. Every update makes me laugh!
I really enjoy "I'm the Prince's beard" by @Lazuli.
It has some natural flowing storytelling, interesting plot developments and an overall serious/comedic tone balance that I really enjoy. Internal monologues are the highlights for me and are always fun to experience.
I'd like to nominate Mallory Bush by @DavidPerry.
It's a callback to The Lil' Rascals, The Peanuts, and more and then slowly dives into an adventure. While having witty and charming humor, it also hits close to home, reminding us that family is important (whoever that family is to you); it's a very good read, with amazing art, amazing characters, and that special something you can really ever get through a comic.
How about Fragments by @Iridescent_Bismuth
The comic is still in early development but the art (Especially the backgrounds) is nice and detailed, the premise seems really neat too. modern fantasy is always a good time!
I wanna recommend Sonia: Legends of Eternal Darkness, it's by a friend of mine but I'm still a big fan.
Hell, I'm not usually a digital reader, but his worldbuilding and atmosphere kept me invested enough to try it out, that's why I feel like it needs to get more noticed.
Even if it doesn't get picked I hope some of you give it a chance.
Oh geez.... I have to pick just one? Argh this is a lot of pressure.
All right, very sorry to all the people I'd like to nominate but can't. If I can only pick one, I choose Hollow by @ninjashira for the professional overall polish, great visual storytelling and combining an enjoyable story with clever deconstruction of nostalgic anime tropes to explore themes of trauma and depression without feeling too heavy. It's just an all-round good comic, and it deserves to be on the front page.
Oh my god, why did I have to go on hiatus right now?? I hope I'll be luckier next time.
For my pick I choose @AbelDraws' FIVE.
I love how endearing and realistic the characters are so far, specially Arckan. You can really tell how much of a bad time he's having by his body language and expressions. Also the main conflict is setting up in a really interesting way, I'm so intrigued to know what will happen next and what the bad guys' plans are!
Gosh, there's way too many things to put just based on what I've subscribed to. Some that are downright awesome, some that are downright insane. If there's any that I'd wanna put down both to help a fellow cartoonist out AND to show my appreciation for their work, I'd have to put my recommendation down to... drum roll
Whistle Stop by @pandtandp2t2
Out of many of the cartoonists here on this website, including me, this guy's always consistent with his world but there's a good ol' tone of charm that hits right at home. I really enjoy his world and characters. The strips, mostly from his main series, have always kept a smile on my face. Not to mention that Sam Squirrel is my literal spirit animal and I don't know whether to feel good about that, or to strap a rabid dog to my chest while I pile drive my face into the windshield of my neighbor's Trans-AM. This guy needs more appreciation for his work, because its something that can bring good tidings and laughter just by being itself. There's something I truly recommend.
This novel updates at 2AM and I still always read it as soon as it releases. The characters are delightful and richly developed, and the yearning in the writing style makes me FEEL what the characters are going through! Also a thoughtful and delicate portrayal of complex emotional struggles and personal relationships.
Ma, where do I even begin with this novel? The style is great, the characters are lovable and relatable, the story is AMAZING, and I am just OBSESSED WITH IT! I believe that more people should read Kiss It Better. It deserves all the praise! It's such an amazing book and I am so happy to be saying that I am a big, BIG fan of it!
I started reading this series recently. It's about cults and manipulation! It's written journal style so you're in the character's head all the time, feeling what he's feeling and thinking what he's thinking. It's interesting, it's dark, it's horror! I'm highly suspicious of every character in this novel. Trust nobody!
One of my favorite comics on here is Midnight Furies. It has such a fun and unique art style, full of action and gesture and it translates so well into a sports comic--Which PS, how many sports comics are on Tapas? Like barely any? Anyway it's a wonderful magical basketball tournament that only appears at night in the inner city, and it's just a blast to read. I love this comic.
Picking just one is tough but I gotta say @vworksart's comic Powernote!
More than meets the episode requirement and has a really fun story, lots of action and I love the characters especially Aria. I actually binged it recently to catch up to recent updates and I'd say where it's at is a good chance to jump in.
Stick n Poke is a skillfully drawn comic with easy to read paneling and a fun, compelling story about a trans girl who is on the road with her favorite band. It's cute, it's sexy, it's got a great cast and it's second chapter is due to start up within the next month or so!
There's honestly too many I want to recommend!
I'll start with @CodeMonkeyArts 's novel first! I love how the story mixes the idea of seven sins with superheroes, and yet it's very down-to-earth with real issues that plague each character. The fact that each chapter has a piece of art that depicts a scene from it only makes it more attractive!
My good man Jam are makeing this amazing comic that needs more love
It is called crossroads

Wow, I opened this thread thinking about suggesting your work only to be disappointed because it needed to be 10 episodes... And I see you mentioning me. THANK YOU, friend, really.
Seeing that the thread is not yet closed, maybe cause the total number has not reached 45 yet, I would still love to make a suggestion.
Olga McArrow's "Tales from the Afterworld" is an anthology that merges speculative science-fiction, mythology, mystery and fantasy in truly beautiful tales and short stories that remind me of the great minds like Gene Wolfe or Ursula K. Le Guin.
Ahh I do hope this is still open because I'm such a fan of
It's a self discovery story about secrets and how sometimes it's really none of your business to know someone else's. The art and writing are phenomenal, you can really tell they were given great care and love, the story is right now at it's absolute prime moments of story climax, and like? It's criminally underrated with just barely over 100 subs. Come on.
Thanks, @jensrichard77 for this nominate, I am glad to get the chance.
Please Tapas here is more to the story a little trailer I have made:
This is an amazing comic! It's focused primarily on LGBTQ+ issues, particularly those faced by young people either from school, or from outside adults. It has adorable art, and it provides so many important pieces of information. It's relatable to members of the queer community, and informative to those who aren't, while still being entertaining to all!
