Wait, are we on about manga/manwha/manhua webcomics or what? I don't know of any if that's the case, although I do read plenty of webcomics from other countries...
I only read three: Questionable Content, Ctrl+Alt+Del and Menage a 3 (Ma3 is NSFW, just a warning). I used to read way more gaming ones, but then I realised that most of them used the same jokes so I cut down to just one.
there are some that i like
personally, i enjoy them

I like webcomics. I regularly follow Penny Arcade, Dr. McNinja, The Non-Adventures of Wonderella, Hark! A Vagrant, Perry Bible Fellowship, and Gunshow. Kinda wished someone archived Shredded Moose before it got deleted from the face of the internet, that comic was amazing.
And by amazing, I mean so god-awful that the law against murder should be temporarily lifted so that Brian Krumm and Chris Hall are never allowed to have offspring.

Trace was the first I read. I found Noblesse after that, and at this point have read many more. Just seeing that something is a webcomic excites me more than a regular manga. That excitement doesn't always come to fruition, but most of the ones I've read/am reading are awesome.
I enjoy the colour art, particularly in something like Supernatural Investigation Department where the characters are coloured so vibrantly. And I've come to like the style as well--scrolling down the page, lots of white space, etc.--though it was strange to me at first, and a bit annoying. Most importantly, they are just plain good.
I recall someone commenting somewhere a while ago that webcomics have an advantage over manga in that the artists/authors aren't being paid (at least, most of them, starting out), and have no editor in the traditional manga sense such as shown in Bakuman and thus are free to take the story in the direction the want, with unrestricted creativity. Of course, this can result in bad ideas not being stopped, but overall I've found it to create fresh, interesting, fun stories.

despite its high popularity, i don't like korean webcom. too much white space emphasizing savors on each picture which, although decent, not offering much meaning. depth is lacking many times, and the art isn't just to my liking. i've read teens of titles and been disappointed over and over again. i hate korean webcom.

I started reading Noblesse when chapter 50 or so had come out, but I just recently started reading some of the other great webcomics out there.
Orange Marmalade is just beginning, but for some reason, can keep my attention enough that I am checking every Friday morning to see the Korean version.
There is also a very good story called Gyon-Woo & Jik-Nyu that is based on Korean mythology (I always enjoy learning another culture's myths). Magician is a pretty decent story as well.
Crepuscule has been retold (I don't think the original was ever finished) by a new author, but seems alright so far.
Then there is Under Prin which I have never really enjoyed, but I cannot stop reading it for some odd reason.
Anyways, what I'm getting at here is for all of you who have said that you have never read a Korean webcomic, you should try. Some of them have the same cliches as every other story out there, but most of them are a nice departure from manga. And, they are in colour, so that's something to look forward to, right?

I enjoy webcomics. Wel... as long as the story and such isn't utterly stupid.
And I know this isn't just talking about webtoons, I also mean webcomics in general.

Quote from Chaoskitty
Love them! I like them more then manga. I think it's the art for me; I get tired to seeing the same style all the time and webcomics give me a refreshing change. And I do like a western style more then anime style anywho. My problem now, is that I read, like, 50 of them and can't keep track of them all. Shame there isn't a nifty tracking site like MU for webcomics. lol Well, there's not really a tracking site for webcomics but there are numerous topsites for webcomics. Some of you may be too young to know what a topsite is but back in the days of dialup if you were interested in something specific and and wanted to find it fast topsites were the way to go. Best ones topwebcomics
webcomiclist, onlinecomics and webcomicz for more mature listings. And there's also this nifty piece of software that checks for updates to its webcomic listing for you comical

well, i would love them... but some of the ones that are out are basically 5 reaaaaaaaaaaaaly long pages and alot of blank stops, which kinda bothers me in general. Though i do own all the english and japanese volumes out (except volume 4) of Hetalia, which was originally a webcomic, to me, it's just the format.
Don't get this wrong, but i'm currently a total Black Adventures addict. ・u・ And i do plan to make a webcomic one day.

I generally like webcomics. There are webcomics that are very plot driven and just as lengthy as manga. Also there is more freedom for the artist not only for the story and art, but for the layout as well. Some comics are made in a kind of layout that would not work if it were printed, but works perfectly for the web.
They're practically the same as Manga. So yeah i love them. Esp since most are in color 😀 I didnt know there was english webcomics though 😮 some of my favorite korean ones are : magician, orange marmalade,cheese in the trap, serendipity, underprin,Gyon-Woo & Jik-Nyu, Annarasumanara etc. I havent really read one so far that was as bad as some shoujo manga's ironically.

Not for me. I don't like the extra-long panels, and although the story is interesting, I've found it often poorly executed. I don't have any dislike for them, however - they're just not something I like to read.
