Radio veteran John Siuntres speaks with comic writers and artists, animators, and film creators from all over the United States. Hilariously entertaining and often spireling into wacky out-of-control tangents, the podcast has featured such notable luminaries like Mike Mignola, Dwanye McDuffie, Brian Michael Bendis, Andrea Romano, Joe Quesada, and Brad Meltzer, to name but a few. This is one program that is worth your time - you'll learn about the creative process and be inspired at the same time. Shiny!
The Dreamer
Created by Lora Innes, The Dreamer tells the story of Bea, a high school senior with a penchant for theater who every night dreams of being involved in the revolutionary war between the Americans and the Brits. Lora is a history pro, having researched the time period extensively, and even uses real people from the time in her comic. Of all the web comics I've read, this is by far the most professionally created comic I've seen. And not only that, but every page COMES OUT ON TIME, which is almost unheard of on the Internet. Her comic is now available in print form from IDW Publishing and you can order it from your local comic book shop by using order code SEPT084131E.
Fey Winds
This week I found yet another excellent comic through Tomgeeks that is definitely worth your time. The story of Fey Winds, created by Nicole Chartrand, centers around the misadventures of Kit, not a fox, yet not a human, x xx and xxx as they try to find the special objects that will lift their various curses. It has your standard fantasy fair but with a sense of humor that is often lacking in these types of stories - OK, that is never there to begin with - and art that is fabulous. And if you really want to be impressed, check out Chartrand's 1 minute animated short she completed for her last year of college. Absolutely stunning.

I'll definitely check those out! I actually love reading webcomics, and have quite a few I follow. You might also be interested in these:
Drow Tales, an interesting site with very good art, a fascinating world, and a promising story.
Inverloch and The Phoenix Requiem. Inverloch is a completed story, but the Phoenix Requiem is still getting warmed up. The writer/artists skills have progressed with practice, and she does good work.
Wandering Ones, an interesting tale of the future with a native American twist.
PS238, a humorous story about children with super-powers.
I also know lots of comic-strip style webcomics, even several with very good stories (and not just good laughs) in them. Let me know if you want to see any of those!
God bless,

Yo dude,
I've heard nothing but awesomeness about The Phoenix Requiem. The creator is one of the founding members of Tomgeeks (which you should check out - webcomics galore!)
Happy to find another person who loves reading webcomics as much as I do. And thanks for the other suggestions!
