Which webcomic genres do you favor the most?

actions the best, the worst thing in any form of entertainment is not having enough action, story is important but not as important as action

Honestly, I'll read anything with good art, story and engaging characters. I think most genres tend to have annoying tired tropes attached to them, and getting past those is a key to a great comic no matter what you do. I love scifi, but I love it for the social commentary and speculation, not just SPACESHIPS IN SPACE.
I guess one genre I try to stray away from is superhero stuff, especially indie superhero stuff that really, really wants to be like the Big Two instead of doing something unique. There are some exceptions and interesting takes in the indie scene, of course (Like Sophie Campbell's Shadoweyes) but on the whole I'm wary of men in capes in indie comics.

Yeah, at the end of the day, it's less about the genre and more about the quality of the comic! Preferences are fine but genre alone shouldn't determine whether you'll read and enjoy a comic or not.

Horror and comedy for me. Anything is also okay, but interests are interests. c:

The adventurous kind has a special place in my heart, but i'll like any genre as long as it has good character development.

Anything with an interesting story, respects the reader, and no fan-service (if the story is good, I'll try my best to overlook it). I understand that some tropes are over-used, but if they approach it differently, I'll read it.

Slice of life gag comics are my kryptonite though. I'll read thousands, no matter if you think you draw bad, I'll be a fan if it's funny.

I tend to dislike genres that are in super serious settings (war, famine, etc). Some people can pull it off in a way that I like, but otherwise I just don't find it to lift a weight off my heart.
So I think I prefer comedy over anything.

Reading this thread I feel like I must be odd because I love sci-fi (hard, soft, space opera, not zombies) but I don't really like much fantasy, especially not your typical sword-and-sorcery style fantasy. Hmm.
