After such an overwhelming response from the VGCats post a few days back, Joystiq is considering a weekly feature highlighting the best in the world of online game-related comics from sites like Penny Arcade, VGCats, and Ctrl+Alt+Del. In order to make sure we cover all the great content out there, we are asking you to tell us what online comics you fancy so that we can give them much-deserved credit and exposure. What online game-related comics should we be reading?

I can't see http://www.rpgworldcomic.com/ anywhere?? Even if I have stopped reading it. And http://pc.gamespy.com/articles/578/578734p1.html flintlocke isn't mentioned enough. The rest of the comics that I read are mentioned allready a lot of times, so I don't bother...

Add Yirmumah ( http://www.yirmumah.net ), The PC Weenies ( http://www.pcweenies.org ), and Dog Complex ( http://www.dog-complex.com ) to the list. If you're not reading these you're missing out on some of the finest webcomics on the web.

The top 3/4 heavyweights of the gaming comic group (Scott with VGCats, Tim with CAD, other Scott with PVP and the ever-vigilant Mike n' Jerry with Penny-Arcade) are always in the spotlight. Aye, they deserve it with what they do, but there are the damned good underdogs out there with their own cult following that really need to be pushed into the limelight.
Take a gander at the micro-empire of Extra Life (http://www.myextralife.com) - it's geek heaven. And I don't mean "OMFG G4 LOLZ HAXX"-type geekdom, I mean the honest-to-goodness-techTV-before-it-went-to-hell-back-when-we-still-had-Leo brand geekdom.
Go and enlighten yourself.
