well first and foremost make sure the title isn't used for something else. Second of all I don't know how much you can fail with a title, just create something that isn't mundane. Also make sure it isn't too long or if it's short make sure it isn't bland.
my tip as someone who never follows their own advice is don't use super long titles
my recent comics have been montage at the end of the world(never fits anywhere, even the abbreviation is long, isn't very original or descriptive anyway, but i still like it fml) hello, reykjavik and rapture(shortened to reykjavik recently but now it will never show up in a search engine lol) and a book for monsters(talk abt cliche buzzwords omg) they're all pretty formulaic
long titles can be cool if you can effectively shorten them or like.. if the acronym spells something ?
but mostly they just don't fit on the pages and can get tough to remember
I don't like titles with creative spelling or weird punctuation, because that generally ensures I will never be able to look your comic up. So please, no weird titles like "Re:Member the Darknyss" :u also anything that sounds like a crazy JRPG title with 10 words thrown together randomly. I will definitely not remember that stuff.
Admittedly my titles are pretty much to-the-point. My comic Centralia 2050 takes place in a city called Centralia in the year 2050 . But I like the way it sounds XD people usually just call it "Centralia" which is fine too.
To me the easiest and often most effective titles for a comic is just....the name of the main protagonist (assuming you have a central hero), or something that sums up the theme of your comic rather than who or what's in it. Or you can go the path of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure or Scott Pilgrim vs The World, and do both of those things.
I tend to avoid comics like "my boring life", "fuck my life", "random derp comic x33"..
Some people might wanna rip my head off for this, but i'm also getting tired of seeing titles like "my trans/nonbinary/intersex lyfe". it's cool that you are whatever the hell you are but if your comic doesn't even focus on that and if it's just filled with boring 2011 9gag humor then just no.
Actually, I never cared about titles. I mean, I also read manga and I don't have the minor idea what some titles mean, I just read it if some drawing catch my attention or the summary, or the tags.
Sometimes I don't even remember the name of the comics I am reading but I see the thumbnail and I remember.
Just try to avoid something that might be misleading I suppose.
Damn! One of my story ideas is called "Destiny's Fate" the sequel being called "The Fate of Destiny", of course.
You are of course free to call your story whatever you want, but both those titles basically amount to "The sequence of events that has been predicted's sequence of events that has been predicted".
@AnnaLandin Okay what about "The Main Character's Triumph In Act Three"?
@AnnaLandin So you're saying I'm going to be rich? 
I'm not a fan of long titles (basically anything over like four words) or titles that include character names (odd, considering one of my favorite book series is titled with protagonist names).
My comic has a one word title. I suppose "CRUSADE" is super vague and kinda cliche, but I really like how it fits my comic. The word is directly defined as "a journey or effort to stop injustice" and that's what my story is about. I personally love one word titles, they really draw me in and I love to figure out what a story is about instead of having it given to me, but maybe I'm alone in that.
I recently heard there's actually another comic called Crusade floating around the world but I am very tired, man.
I just named my comic spire because my characters are searching for a place called the star spire and i hate titles ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Right? It got really common recently, which I think had something to do with the success of Re:Zero. It really annoys me mostly because a lot of people use it when they don't actually know what the context/meaning of "Re:"
I went with The Way of the World. It sounds very "Slice of Life" like. But its supposed to represent the diversity of the comic
As someone who created a comic with a god awful title...these are my tips.
-Avoid super long titles, especially on this site where thumb nails have a title limit. If you have a longish title, at least have a way to abbreviate it. So when you or anyone is talking about it, you are not saying/writing a long title over and over.
-Avoid super common single word titles. "Magic", "The Fate", "Awaken", "Host"
-Also, do some research and see if there are other major comics/movies/books with the same name. I originally wanted to call my comic "Crow" but I found out there is a TV show called "The Crow" as well as other webcomics with that title.
-Do research to make sure your title does not have an unintentional double meaning. The book "The Spook's Apprentice" title was changed for both the US release and the film due to "spook" being a derogatory term.
-Unpronounceable or weirdly pronounced. I'm looking at you XXXholic. Similarly, symbols should not be part of the title's pronunciation. It's like "Star★Land" vs "★Land"
-Never put "desu" in a title.
-Avoid memes
