Lucky Dawg looks good but I think only with 2 pages posted it might have been too early to consider it unnoticed, IMO of course.

What would you say the criteria would need to be?

previously in the thread we had discussed this a bit. I think a comic which has a strong archive…15 plus and updates regularly and in my opinion has few to no comments seems to be a comic which appears unnoticed.

Well, I wouldn't say a comic is "unnoticed" if people haven't really had a chance to notice it… I thought the idea here was that some comics have been around for a while and don't seem to get the recognition some of us think they deserve. Lucky Dawg may well take off soon, given its obvious qualities.

Okay then, this one. Serious-tone D&D-type comic. Has it been mentioned yet?

1. Professional (literally) artwork and colors.
2. Good sized archive.
3. Been here since last year. Doesn't have the number of commenting readers proportionate with its quality.

Maybe all its readers just go to its parent site, since this is a mirror. Personally I have nothing against mirrors, though.

Opaque Dreams has already been mentioned, but it needs to be mentioned again. The story is engaging, with likeable chacters, and complemented with very pretty, stylised art and skillful crosshatching.

What If is a single panel comic consisting of "What if…?" situations, and chock full of genuinely funny puns.

Stuck has beautiful, professional-level art. The story is shaping up to be very interesting as well.

omg! I totally forgot about this comic! This was the 2nd webcomic I had ever read and I lost the link…and was too lazy to google it >.>

Dang, adding more comics to my already over 200 reading list -_-'

Here's one that not too many people seem to have discovered yet: Awakenings by Eric Hobbs.

The B&W line art is excellent and, even though the comic is still new here, the story is already developing multiple layers. If you like a bit of intrigue in your story-led comics, this is definitely one to check out!

Nothing Really Serious popped up a few days ago and it's really good- the thing is she's uploading like 10 pages a day and she says the comic is already finished. I'm worried she'll blow through her pages and the comic won't have time to gain an audience.

Romance comic but nice art style, and not the happy manga kind of romance- the unhappy indy comic kind of romance, for the curious :)

I quite like that one, though yeah, they might run the risk of blowing through their archive. This is why I'm generating Wyrden's content as I go and it's a huge, varied story that spans a lot of my book related stuff.

Looks like it's updating again - ridiculously professional work and full color. Fantasy meets war - Rune magic that kind of thing.

I never know about that one. That guy (and the comic) have been around 7 years or more and he never seems to make it past 20 pages or so before he vanishes, takes his comic down, and reappears a year or two later with retooled pages. I think this is his third comeback. Let's hope he can stick with it this time.

Not enough there for me to form a cohesive opinion, but what's there, yeah, it's nicely done. Reminds me of Top Cow's stuff a little…which is a good and a bad thing for me. I used to be into the Darkness, Witchblade, when I was younger but no so much now.

It's on my 'keep an eye' list though now, thanks juno :)

Here's a fairly new one that deserves to be checked out: By the Blade.

The artwork is a very striking mix of B&W with occasional colour and, even though it's only 14 pages in, the story is already pretty intriguing.

There we go, fixed it up for you. Now to go check it out

Hmm, he was posting this comic on DD before, but he'd only made it about 8 or 9 complete pages in, after that it was unfinished pages, teasers, etc until about page 30… good to see he seems to have gotten more of them completed :) I don't really blame him for re-uploading them all, it will help bring in some new readers.

This comic has got to be one of the best comics I have seen in regards to fight scenes and choreography! Has really good art to boot, a very interesting style set in a futuristic anti democracy world.

This comic had my mouth dropping over and over again. The author is an artistic genius!

I think I may mention a few now that I think have been overlooked so far (I could be wrong…)but I would recommend any of these:

Gravedust has lovely black and white art and very cute and charming stories. Rudy is downright adorable. The art reminds me somewhat of the classic days of MAD magazine (back when it was a comic!)though I'm not saying it looks like it, it looks like it would be at home there!

Hatpireis adorable! Simple and appealing artwork with very expressive characters, done without dialogue. Cute and funny!

Maggot Boy Great line work, you might miss the color after it's gone but the smooth and clean lines are good enough that you'll hardly notice after a while! An awesome zombie comic, enjoyable character designs and personalities.

Mary Sue AcademyJust found this one recently, a very interesting take on the Mary Sue phenomenon! Just take a look for yourself. Nice art too, lovely character designs.

Red Melancholy The first chapter's art is marvelous. I sort of wish the author continued in this direction, but she hasn't updated in a while. Definitely worth the look, hopefully she'll update it again! She says it is mostly experimental however, so the change should not be a surprise if you're aware of this.

Beautiful Skies Lovely artwork and character design, my only complaint is it gets a little too busy at times and hard to tell what is going on. A very interesting story going on (albeit a little confusing at times as perspectives jump from character to character). Very dramatic story, but I think in a good way.

WonkedoAbsolutely fun art and writing, a great cartoony-manga style that we don't see often, a main character that looks somewhat like a Fraggle (Remember Fraggles anyone? they ROCKED) and a great attention to detail and movement that it almost seems animated. A twisted and surreal cartoon world, and it makes me reminisce of the good old days of Saturday morning cartoons.

Never Trust The WizardBeautiful art an and intriguing story thus far. And I looove the design of the…well, I won't spoil it but I totally geeked out for it.

Ever Hollowdoesn't get nearly the attention it deserves. Beautiful art and coloring, and great character designs (I am all about character design, see!)

Obiithas a great creepy style that compliments the creepy atmosphere of the story. Saw this one before it came to DD in fact, glad that Mint is posting here now!

Wow, nice list, Amelius! I checked them out and they're each really cool in their own right. So much talent around here…

Actually, to answer this (since I just found it, my apologies for taking this long)… the reason that the DD site of TTG is only a comic mirror and not a full-fledged comic site…

Is because, well… I couldn't figure out at the time how to make the DD pages look similar to the other site. At the time of opening the TTG DD site, Michelle and I were in the process of checking other sites out, to see if we wanted to move TTG away from comicgenesis.

Plus, at the time (haven't checked since setting up the original site, might have changed by now), you could only upload like 2 or 3 images at once. This would have taken FOREVER to upload all the various images that are on the entire site.

I wish TTG received more comments on its DD pages, because it's the ONLY site where we have instant feedback like that. I have almost no idea if anyone even likes any of the pages on the CG side unless the come out and TELL me. Which saddens me. :(
