Hi
I'm not sure what type of thread i'm making here but as an avid reader i'm getting a tiny bit frustrated that these comics don't seem to get promoted much by Tapas. This thread will feature 10 comics and it will have a short breakdown of each comic and why I believe they deserve to be promoted by Tapas.
- Infinite Strike by Izzy Bloom
It's time to start with the comic who's protagonist is the mascot of the Artist and Authors united Discord server. Infinite Strike is what would happen if the best parts of 2000s animes like Yu Gi Oh, Beyblade and Shaman King got whisked together in a blender and turned out better than the sum of their parts. This comic is full of personality it's a romance/ Action comic about a criminal called Xepholen, his cute token anime side kick Toko. Xepholen's attempts to keep his younger brother Zalken out of trouble and the classy magic using Lady Cleobelle. This comic is a lot of fun, is run by a lovely person who supports others and is a comic with some of the best stats i've ever seen. The artwork's an overall class act too. if I ran this site i'd put this comic on the front page regularly. Heck i've drawn fan art of this series I think it's that good now give this man some more cake already!

Psychoborg by MK Wizard
Psychoborg is not an E Rated comic like a lot of the other stuff on this list. It's an M Rated comic. (In some cases R) It has swearing and darker themes. It might work well in the mature section and add a bit of variety in said section. Granted i've read ahead of basically everybody when it comes to Psychoborg because I help out a little bit when I have time. Personally when I think of Comic Fury (a site I personally mirror onto) I think of a massive glut of Poke'mon Nuzlocke fan fictions then immedietely after that I think of the works of MK Wizard. Who I firmly believe is one of the best if not the best comic creators on that site. To be honest all of her comics could easily go in here. From an artistic stand point Psychoborg is easily the best of the catalogue, which is why i'd chose this one. The basic plot is Astra is part of a kingdom called Luminous on a planet called Zeal who does battle with an adversary called 'the ominous army'. if you like Game of Thrones and the She-Ra reboot this comic is a must. It's been taking off like a rocket as of late and I firmly believe it's an up and comer in the creator's arms race.

legend of Guardian Kayden by Tethyka Rhinehart
Look at your art now back to this comic, look at your art now back to this comic. Unfortunately not everybody's hair details, shading, layer effects, lighting and character design can be like this comics, but you can (and should) read this comic right now! I really dig comics with anime inspired, unique looks. It would make a nice change of pace from what we usually see in the featured section. The story of Guardian Kayden is very much 'does what it says on the tin' It's about a magical Space Guardian called Kayden who is a master of elemental magic. He's also between 7 feet and 15 feet tall. Personally i've always liked the Centaur legs on the characters it has a nice Greek Mythology sort of look which goes nicely with the 90s ish Anime art style. Worth a look solely for the art. Fun fact Raylen one of the characters in Guardian Kayden actually makes a cameo in Hawk and Flo Adventures.
Oh and one last item before I move on I totally want to make this a thing in the future.
It also has a novel version, but I made this thread about comics. A novel list will be in the future ^^

A.O.D by Project Hybrid
A.O.D is like what would happen if the 90s TV show Charmed met Buffy the Vampire Slayer and they got a Sick anime adaptation. A.O.D is about 3 protagonists (Okami, Risika and Hero) that do battle with the undead and all sorts of fun looking B-Movie inspired Monsters that George Romero would approve of. The comic's got some great art work and is just a really fun spooky read honestly. My favourite character is Hero, he has that fun Michaelangelo from TMNT sort of vibe going for him. I have a soft spot for the slice of life moments like when they play air hockey or hang out in cursed carnivals.
You know like this one, which I drew fan art of ^^
5 and 6. Nugapug's Human Yet Hybrid and Fourthly Puzzled
Nugapug? yes.. Nugapug, which comic? both of them. If Globalcomix were willing to promote both of them then I don't see why Tapas can't. I'll start with Fourthly Puzzled which fun fact entered the Hawk and Flo Art collaboration! It's the middle one. Along with Word is Bird and Cupcake War Machine. (heehee I knew i'd fit them into this list somewhere muhahahaa *cough)
Fourthly Puzzled at it's core is a slice of life comic about Mother's raising their children. it's funny, has charming art and primarily excels at how well written it is. The dialogue can feel quite well written and realistic at times, it's a comic oozing personality.
Human Yet Hybrid is an action comic in a similar art style. I have a real soft spot for it and I genuinely look forward to reading it when I get chance. It's about two magic users called Edwina and Ida. It's one of the comics I would say is one of the closest things to my own comic series that i've seen. There's plenty of interdimensional, supernatural portal elements and has some well handled comedic moments. Like the clothes getting hung out to dry after going down a waterfall. It reminds me a bit of the game Chrono Trigger in a good way. It's a hidden gem that makes a nice change of pace from what I usually read.

Space Pack
Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls. Feast your eyes on the comic that Is coincidentally the comic who runs away with the 'Most like Hawk and Flo Adventures award'. I love this comic dearly. I wish timezones weren't a thing somedays because I would chat with @sefra114 more often. OniXFox actually was featured by Tapas in the past it's banner was promoted a while back, but I'm going to be honest. It doesn't sit right with me somedays that both this and Oni are sat below 500 subs. Slingy is a creator I firmly believe deserves awards and to be paid in sports cars. Fun fact this comic was nominated 6 times for Drunk Duck awards Last year (nominated 3 times) and this year (3 times)! the reason I was surprised Hawk and Flo Adventures won best all ages comic is. No joke I thought Space Pack was going to win it. I'm actually currently in the works with Sefra on trying to get a Space Pack/Hawk and Flo Adventures crossover happening for the next Hawk and Flo Adventures storyline. it has a lot of fun stuff in common with H&F, both comics have very different approaches but similar ideas. Fan art desktop crossover at the ready, so everyone gets an idea of what the characters look like.
I may as well do the part where I explain what Space Pack is about by pointing out the coincidental and very fun similarities Space Pack has with my own series. 1. Nismo and Monk are aliens that both lose their memory and have amnesia. 2. Space Pack is about fighting werewolves, Hawk and Flo interned as Werewolf hunters before being legendary heroes. 3. Lacey and Bally are both skate boarders who's parents are missing for the majority of their series. 4. Hawk and Andy are smart people but badly educated. 5. A Relative of the protagonists has a plot twist surrounding them. I won't give away what happens but dang it's fun and awesome when you spot the similarities between both comics. They should totally have a crossover someday...
Oh wait that's actually in development! woohooo Next storylines the crossover! <3

Cosmic Dash by HPkomic
Cosmic Dash is like one part TMNT one part Guardians of the Galaxy. It's a comic with it's own website. Tapas is one of it's mirrors. It follows the tale of Dashien and his friend Kracker a long with a rag tag team of misfits that travel around the galaxy. it's one of the first comics I ever read when I was first starting off as a webcomic creator. I've always been a fan of the part where Kracker does battle with rogue robots in shmoofy Land. Maybe not the sort of thing Tapas usually picks but it's a quality series. It's the series that is 2nd place to Space Pack on the 'comic's most similar to Hawk and Flo Adventures' list. Albeit it is a distant second place in terms of similarities. Still top notch in Quality though that's what matters <3

Ereeco by @annaportia
I've read this comic so many times, this one really comes from a place in my heart more than any measure of abject quality but out of every comic I have ever left comments on Ereeco is the most fun I have ever had leaving comments on a comic. Something about it just resonated with me. I'm not sure what it is, I think the wizard's hyper active energy is just infectious. Whenever I read Ereeco he just won't get out of my comment section and will sometimes take over my own deskt-- *Wizard has entered the chat EREECO IS THE BEST COMIC EVER GO READ IT! I'M IN IT! WOOOOO *Wizard has left the chat...
Speak of the devil lol here's a link

We!rd0s by @naladraws
I have a soft spot for the art in this comic. whenever I have chance I binge read and leave comments on every chapter much like I do with Ereeco. To me it's just such a cute comic with a relaxing art style. It's a slice of life comic about moving into a 'lousy apartment' which I feel is something a lot of us can relate to.
So yeah that's it for now thanks for reading. I have 1600+ comics and novels i'm subbed to that I read when i get chance. Now if you'll excuse me i've got some desktops to finish. If you're comic isn't in this thread, I'm likely saving it for a future thread 'Another top 10 comics on Tapas I would Feature'
one last thing before I go who do I ping to genuinely ask and put forward these comics for the featured section?
