Can anyone point me to a good comic (Webcomic, or printed) that is centered around Fantasy/Magic Adventures? Pic related; i don't care if it also incorporates scifi elements, or it takes place in a asian instead of medieval setting, or some other novelty, as long as it adheres to the fantasy adventure genre i would be happy to check it out. (Im honestly just tired of constant super hero stuff, need to broaden my horizons)

I'm only really aware with Demonknights and Amethyst from nu52, Fables, Cerebus and Berserk


Monitoring this thread, it's a great genre.

Hope the thread sticks around for a while, this could get interesting

Dragon Age has some pretty cool comics

>>83033516
You should try out Autumnlands and Fell's Five.
>>
>>83033516
Kill Six Billion Demons

Might also want to try asking on /tg/, thay can point you to some other good ones
>>
>>83034865
The original Amethyst minis are pretty good.

>>83036672
Was going to suggest both of these. Would also add Mouse Guard.

I've heard good things about Orc Stain, but I haven't actually read it.

If you want ultra-D&D style comics, try the Clandestinauts. Other than that I'm echoing what everyone else ITT has said. Literally everything so far is good.

>fantasy adventure genre

Do you mean high fantasy?

Pic related was posted here recently, I can recommend Digger, KSBD. Some may not fit the genre.

There's also The Property of Hate, which is quite different from the usual hero story.

8-bit Theatre.

I can't read the thumbnail so I have no idea what's in the strip I'm posting.
>>
>>83037330
Why isn't Oglaf on there? It is both fantasy and quality.
>>
Orks and Fires of Askell are both good, though the latter abruptly stops without finishing the story
>>
>Webcomic

Unsounded.

Legitimately creative and original magic system, shitloads of well-crafted world-building, and a big spate of likeable, believable characters to populate it.

Lanfeust of Troy series are comic fantasy - see Win'o'thread for English scanlation links. This one is Ekho #2 - Paris Empire

These image galleries can only include so many comics before they become too noisy. No matter what one posts someone always wants more.

What about mice Templar?

OP here
To answer your question, yes and no. I like high fantasy but i will accept suggestions from other types of fantasy as long as it adheres to what was siad in the 1st post.

Godsend, if you can handle terminally spaced updates.

So, adventure stories in a fantasy world without over-powered heroes?

What about the fantasy works of Moebius (real name Jean Giraud)? Arzach , Incal, Airtight Garage.

Some might consider the John Prophet series as fantasy, others treat it as scifi.

The webcomic Gaia online is magic based fantasy, but has mixed reception.

Do you have any better suggestions?
If you don't your not really helping anon, at the very least you should have siad something like "Dragon Age sucks, a way better comic is (Insert anser here)"

Fell's Five, Headlopper

>>83033516
Does Conan count?

>>83033516
For a current ongoing read Monstress. It follows a girl that goes for revenge for her mothers death in a war. But the setting gets slowly dropped on you that this is a stalemate in a war that the sides want to end but can't find the right time to. There is very lovecraftian magic that ends up being...very personally integrated to the story too, which I love.

Setting is as if Rome were China, so it's large asianic but has many western culture influences. I like the twist from the usual western culture with eastern influences.

6 issues so far, so easy to catch up on

At FCBD I picked up an issue that has Squarriors. Holy shit that was intense; amazing art and some solid characterizations in the few pages. Anyone know if this is good?

Read the first volume of Dark Horse's Conan. Easily the best fantasy comic ever.

Im actually very fond of the 1980s-90s Forgotten Realm DC comics. Some adventure, some character focused issues, fairly simple but fun to read.

Ursula Vernon is one of my favorite fantasy artists and a pretty great storyteller, on top of creating the source image of "lolwut"

The Once and Future King is sleeping and will return when Albion's need is greatest!

Also, Jeff Smith's Bone is another good fantasy adventure comic.

Orc Stain is tight as shit. The story is definitely a vehicle for the art but Stokoe's art is so good it doesn't matter
>>
>>83060005
I heard the release schedule was kind up in the air. Or even on hiatus?
>>
>>83061697
Release schedule is super spotty since it's Stokoe's personal project and he works really slow in general.
>>
Is anyone reading From Under Mountains (Image title) ?

Does anyone know if it's any good?
