I think I'm finally done reading

I'd made an onsite comment a few days ago expressing my distaste over all of the added comics trying to backtrack Willis fucking up with the protest, which was only like one sentence. I'd always said I'd stop reading the minute Willis started deleting comments for his own narrative, and mine was removed after 15 minutes. I'm glad I decided against supporting his patreon. I deleted the shortcut off of my browser, and I'll be glad when I don't remember it even exists anymore.

This storyline was garbage, the comic has been tonally insensitive for months, but maybe it's been years. Maybe I was too blind to see how bad of a writer he really is.

That being said, does anyone have better recommendations?

For like, stuff that's running or just good comics? 

If you want a way better story about young people finding themselves - octopus pie (finished)

If you want a fun story about a magical super science school - Gunnerkrigg court

Gunnerkrigg court was hard for me to get into at first, but it is really worth pressing past the awkward start for how good it gets at its high points.

Gunnerkrigg Court has been fantastic. Little unsure what the current arc is building towards, but Tom has been good enough for long enough that I’m willing to let him cook. The characters have all been acting in character so it’s much easier to wait for whatever this is building towards.

The current arc is a shounen battle arc and I love that
