The Phoenix Requiem by Sarah Ellerton

http://requiem.seraph-inn.com/

1. As an artist I love her arts. They're colorful and full of life. Her style is what I always wanted to learn, but I never was able to master. I rather do realistic, detailed 1:1 arts, but I always loved this type of arts better then my realistic ones.

2. As a writer, I like the story what she is presenting. There is a soul in her work and you can feel she is caring with every character, every detail to present her work on the highest level.

3. In my opinion quality arts and quality story is very rare in webcomics, especially together, but Phoenix Requiem has both. I'm wondering why Sarah is never published it via a publisher (But it will be someday.).

4. Bonus point. She is a very helpful lady. She gave some advice regarding my upcoming webcomic. :)

It's a good one for definite. Though I don't have much experience of webcomics so don't have much to compare it to.

Do you know of any other webcomics out there in a similar vein? Not necessarily post-apocalyptic or in a similar artisitc style. Maybe something a bit unusual that stands out from the crowd? Would love to hear about it.

It's delightful, and short. I don't have a lot of time to read ongoing story through webcomics, so I like the self-contained ones that don't do big arcs. Don't get me wrong, I love story-driven comics - but I'm too impatient to wait for weekly updates. :)

One of the oldest ongoing web comics out there Sluggy Freelance. Be warned, if you're a new reader it recently achieved its 13 year birthday, and it is updated regularly on a daily basis, although weekends are usually fillers.

I love the D&D-based webcomic Order of the Stick, which starts off as a string of one-panel jokes and develops an incredibly intricate storyline and world.

Every few months I reread the genius Metal Gear Solid webcomic The Last Days of FOXHOUND from beginning to end. Each time I catch more jokes, make more connections and marvel at more of the plotting.

Seconded. And it updates frequently enough that there's new content, but not so much that if I don't get to it for a couple weeks, it's a big time sink to catch up again.

I like schlockmercenary.com

Daily updates, humor + SF, and 10 years of archive.

That being said, the plot advancement would make a snail think "that's pretty slow."
