Here are some of my favorite webcomics:
Prince Marine: The Dandy Robot
Prince Marine: The Dandy Robot stars the eponymous main character, Marine, who is on a quest to save his kingdom (and subsequently the world) from a dangerous robot known only as “Top Hat.” Tagging along is a sullen vagabond named Prima and pet alligator, Iolite. Together, the trio must travel from planet-to-planet across the Chromia System to collect pieces of the Core, a mysterious artifact of unknown origin. Only then can they possibly save Marine’s home… and maybe the entire universe. Along the way, Marine will find out the what and why of Top Hat’s goals, learn a lot about himself away from his privileged lifestyle, and perhaps stumble upon some skeletons in his family’s closet…
