Weekly Webcomic Wrapup is on that HD remake tip

This week, Joystiq's intrepid PAX Force got a chance to sit down and spend some quality time with two high-profile shooter updates, Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. This got us thinking: as cool as these remakes are, why is everyone going for the obvious, pedestrian solutions? Why use Halo and Counter-Strike when untapped, classic IPs like Chex Quest are just sitting there, gathering dust, not being updated to HD?

Kids these days, with their Chocolate Chex and their Cupcake Pebbles; they don't even know that Chex Quest was a thing. Its remake status could be our little secret, and to sweeten the deal, here are our seven favorite webcomics from last week. Remember to vote after the break!
