November 14th DRAFT version of 100 Greatest Webcomics List

Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes [1] on November 13, 2008 - 21:02

This is an update to a previous post here [2], thanks for the cumulative suggestions on that thread.  JUST so we're clear - this is open-sourced to everyone research for a possible article to appear next month at ComixTalk.  I don't endorse the list or the order at all; at this point I've tried to include all of the suggestions I've gotten and I also went through all of the comics ComixTalk has ever reviewed and pulled quite a few titles.

We're at the point where it'll be most helpful if you tell me comics you think should go on the list, where (what number approximately) and which comic should get bumped.  If you just want to change the order you can do that to but there'll be another post before the month's through asking for help with that.  

And it's always helpful to explain why.  Make a pitch for why any of these or any other comic is one of the 100 best.  We've had over 10 years of webcomic publishing -- hopefully we can spotlight some truly outstanding work.
