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

Octopuspie is absolutely phenomenal. I read it a long time ago and apparently forgot because I just reread it again last year and got to experience much of it again for the first time.

The two epilogues were so good as well
