Here you’ll find some personal recommendations of Webcomics that I love and have their own websites, so that I can help a bit with their discoverability 🙂
I know a lot of them are from Hiveworks but I still think they could use a bit of help getting better known as they aren’t on the big platforms.
If you’ve read them already, don’t hesitate to leave a comment and if you have any recommendations of your own, put it in the comments section as well! (but stick to comics with their own website, no Webtoon originals or stuff like that, we’re looking for indie warriors here!)

Pitch
Julian is in love with famous romance novelist Sydney Morgan. Problem is, he doesn’t know who they are, which won’t speed along their marriage. To help him, his friend Isaiah enrolls Landon, the Godfather of High school (and old nemesis of Julian) to find the author’s secret identity!
Why I think you should read it
It’s hilarious and very sweet. Lots of improbable situations and disguises (especially mustaches) that evolve into deep characterizations and very cute and heartwarming moments.

Pitch
Ren is an innocent, softhearted boy who suddenly finds himself in Hell after accidentally falling off a school rooftop. He is then forced to partake in a tournament full of powerful and vicious beings in order to attain his only way of going home: an all-powerful wish from the ruler of Hell himself.
Why I think you should read it
It’s super epic and very well paced (and also the art is veeeery good 😀 It’s in black and white with screentones at the beginning but got coloured in the most recent chapters.)

Pitch
In the year 2044, “Demifloras”(humans that have developed inhuman abilities), are targeted and harvested for their pricey body parts. Iris Black, a Demiflora that possesses the ability to bring his drawings to life, is sheltered in a correctional facility. Outcasted for his inability to suppress his powers, he yearns to find a place that accepts him for who he is. His chance comes one night when a daring outsider sneaks into the lab.
Why I think you should read it
Very endearing characters and incredible art. The story is also very well fleshed out with top notched world building!

Thank you for all your work, Marvin. If you ever have the time, Little Starling on Tapas is beautifully drawn and has a wonderful story set in the 1920’s, with a focus on opera and class struggles.
Marvin
Ah yes, I read that one a long time ago, I remember it looked reaaally nice!

hello! i would suggest Copper Eyes on Tapas, it’s a romance story with fantastic worldbuilding and adorable art, and a nice bit of dystopia / defiance of tyranny thrown in. one of my favorite things about it is that it starts off in greyscale, but slowly gains more colors as the point-of-view character grows- it’s absolutely gorgeous.
Marvin
Sounds awesome, I’ll check it out, thanks for the rec!
Alexis
OH! You read Countdown to Countdown too??! I didn’t even realize, I love that one so much!
Marvin
It’s been a while though so I’m definitely not caught up anymore!
Looney!
Thanks for recs Marvin! I’m always looking for more good webcomics so, yay! To add my own recommendation, Kingfisher (on tapas), its really well written and well drawn and is one of my favorite webcomics I’ve read 🙂
Marvin
I’ll look it up, thanks for the rec!
😔✊
I’ve seen other people rec tiger tiger, but I just have to say it again! It has identity shenanigans and pirates and gods and incredible art, absolutely one of my favs!!
My second rec would have to be Pia and the little tiny things. It’s a really awesome comic with beautiful and detailed art and very interesting characters
Marvin
Oh I’d never heard of Pia, it does look pretty great (and it’s in French as well!) Hope I’ll find the time to give it a try!
