This poll is now closed.
I WILL BE MAKING THE REST OF THE JUNE SCHEDULE THIS WEEKEND. IF YOU HAVE NOMINATION IDEAS OR WANT TO SECOND, POST THEM IN THE MAIN TOPIC! (see below for link)

(all nominations posted in the main topic will be added to the sheet tomorrow cuz I'm tired)

-----------------

Discussion Topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80708068 (if you want to complain about this topic series do it here and not in the current topic)

Rules: If you list more than 4 things I'm gonna just tally the first 4 you say. If you list the same character multiple times it won't count. Be nice. Don't shove your personal definition of "Mount Rushmore" down others' throats. Have fun. If you're going to majorly change a vote please quote your old vote to make it easier for me.

-----------------

Webcomic-specific-rules: Needs to be a comic that originated on the web! Hopefully you know what I'm talking about! I'm gonna say that it also needs to be a series that ran for a decent amount of time (at least a year). It can be an unofficial fan comic.

If you want to vote for something like that official Batman comic that was exclusive to Webtoon, I guess you could? (Why would you?)

Webtoons technically count for this but nobody is going to vote for them over the classics.

I almost posted a vote for Lore Olympus but I figured I wouldn't even bother

how many ppl reading this read Webtoons?

sup

I would find it difficult to pick ones to vote for though, and that's despite enjoying a lot of them. Webtoons feels more inherently disposable than other pieces of media, and I'm not sure why. It doesn't help that the medium is relatively new, lots of webtoons are unfinished.

I watched that Lookism adaptation on Netflix and my brain immediately erased all memory of it, which makes sense given the source material

I think that's basically Webtoons in general. They're like junk food versions of comics. They are made to keep you scrolling but you don't get a ton out of them.

Lore Olympus is easily the best one/most successful one and it's DEFINITELY not perfect. I think I read recently that it's kinda fallen apart and the fanbase has turned on it which is not shocking as it seems like the kinda Tumblr shit that would attract a volatile fanbase

Lore Olympus has to be the most successful both critically and commercially
Penny Arcade and Homestruck are the two I always most immediately associate with webcomics
XKCD because I like it but also I feel like more people know it due to memes even if they didn't necessarily read it.

Penny Arcade
xkcd
Whomp
Saturday Morning Breakfast Cartoon

I'm open to switching the second two but first two are undeniable GOAT's in my mind, even if Penny Arcade's consistency over 25 years isn't necessarily there.

Webtoon I don't think categorically can just be considered webcomics. There are genuine webtoons that are the same kind of thing as the webcomics this topic is about, like say, My Giant Nerd Boyfriend, but webtoons also encompass a lot of what we would just call manga or manwha. Solo Leveling, Noblesse, Unordinary, Tower of God, God of High School, Lookism etc these are just genuine manwha, even if published independently online. Wouldn't be appropriate to think about them that way just because they originate on the web - actually published manga could just be considered that way these days too since they just get released online too, the only difference would be if they started recently enough to be published online at the time of chapter one....

I should probably check out that Lookism anime. The start of the webtoon is kind of more along the lines of a webcomic, and also really really awful. As it goes along, it becomes exceptional in its ability bounce between being be really bad and really good. It's astounding. I would go as far as to call it an S tier fighting manwha at times. I wonder how well the anime captures that.

I honestly heavily considered Lore Olympus going in, because I wanted a more serious pick for my Rushmore, and I do think Webtoons deseeve to be in the conversation at least. It would probably be my fifth pick. And I guess Homestuck kind of fits that niche.

I also almost said "fuck it" and picked Cucumber Quest because I enjoyed it back in the day.

First is just legendary.
Second is iconic and has mainstream culture impact, especially Internet culture.
Third is mandatory, flat out. It got so big there's literally conventions, plural, named after it.
Fourth I feel fits a dark humor that represents our generation at this phase and the next one in theirs.
