One of my favourite rabbit holes to get lost in every so often is the Bad Webcomics Wiki, which I have no idea when I first stumbled upon them but I know it was when they still had their old domain so.... a while ago.....
Some of their entries I completely disagree with, like the inclusion of Humon’s drawings about her OCs I have 0 idea why they’ve been included and it strikes me that someone of the site had personal issue with Humon’s work rather than judging any kind of quality she creates (and considering Humon’s extremely open approach to sex, gender roles and orientation I imagine there are some erm..... types of people who’d want to try and criticise her “without looking like an asshole” if you know what I mean :/)
But it also includes some true gems like CTRL + ALT + DEL if you ever needed a crash course on where the “Lost” meme came from and WHY its a meme in the first place.
Part of me is worried that the site may veer a little too close to “cringe culture” in some ways, but another part of me feels that its reviews and essays on WHY certain comics are bad or don’t work can be incredibly useful in terms of “how will my audience respond to this?” kind of thing. Rather than the technical side of “how to properly draw comic panels”
It’s not Encylcopedia Dramatica, is what I’m saying. But for the most part gives honest reviews to webcomics and the reviewer’s experiences reading them. And it takes more than “this comic is kinda dumb and has an OC in it because the author is 12″ to get on the site.
Anyway, perhaps a little problematic, but still something I find myself still going back to to this day because, despite anything else, it’s a very good source of information.
