Well here are my top three that should definitely be looked at.

A tri-weekly webcomic which follows the character 9 and his friends on their quest to become superheroes. In the SEDiverse everyone has a super power, just not all of them are useful. The power to never be convicted of small crimes, or the power to hear cats for example. But this doesn’t discourage 9 and his group (called Pyromania) from trying to rid the world of evil in any way they can. A sort of black comedy, SED occasionally swirves into darker territory but in general is a light hearted and humorous tale of super powers.

Despite the somewhat irregular update schedule, Zebra Girl is a fantastic black and white comic from Joe England. Following the tale of Sandra who gets turned into a demon when her friends start messing with magic, Zebra Girl starts of light and funny but then descends into a much more sombre tone (with occasional bursts of humour) alongside the fall of Sandra. A brilliant piece of work which must be read from the beginning to get the full effect, Zebra Girl is easily one of the best webcomics I have ever read.

Definitely one to read if you are a fan of Dungeons and Dragons, even those less well versed in D&D lore can enjoy this comic. Like SED, Goblins fluctuates between bouts of seriousness and humour, but the entire tale is very well written and told. It is set in a humorously stereotypical fantasy setting, and follows the lives of a party of goblin adventurers who started as monsters and declared themselves player characters. The tagline for the comic – “Life through their eyes” – reflects the predominant theme of the comic: telling a heroic tale of creatures normally viewed only as evil and weak.
