Well, I have a few really good ones that have gotten, well, almost no traction and will probably benefit from some exposure.
First we have Cruel and Unusual Punishment which is a gag comic that has so much hilarious visual and situational humour that it has left me giggling awkwardly in my lectures when thinking back on it. It's hard to stop reading each new episode despite it's very basic art style which is almost reminiscent of One Punch Man or Mob Psycho's original artwork. Give it a shot if you want a laugh.
Then we have Kitty Kitty Bang Bang a series about a bounty hunter and her misadventures, each episode is quick, self contained, filled with humour and has really well drawn and choreographed set pieces. It's early in it's life but has shown such promise with it's setup and I highly believe it is going to stick to that. Give it a look.
Legend of Val is a shockingly absurd and kooky story set in a shockingly absurd and kooky world following a group of three people and a cat where anything can happen, you name it; punch outs with golfers, wizard battles, whodunnit detective mysteries, it's all here. Unfortunately it is let down by a bit of a slow and confused start that most likely turned off many readers including myself at first, but it's worth it.
2-Sided Cassette is a very unique comic that has a simple premise of following two kids throughout their school years. The art style is full of charm that gives you a laid back nostalgia of doodling in your old notepads during class and the characters are full of colourful expressions despite the pencil drawn aesthetic. The story can be a little slow and may be an acquired taste for those who love to just see characters interact with each other, but it's certainly worth a read.
Last, but certainly not least is Golden Campaign which has an absolutely fantastic story with a grizzled and rough art style that compliments the grim, almost post-apocalyptic setting and atmosphere so well. Characters are both grounded yet distinct in their personalities and most importantly they all feel real with motives and goals that they want to achieve. The setting is vivid and creative that touches on topics such as class divide, hopelessness, heroism, and the damages of war on the human psyche whilst being set in a dystopian steampunk world. You maybe have to push past a small slow start but it's certainly worth a read if you want something to look forward to on your reading list.
Hope you enjoyed the list and I hope these comics can find new fans.
