Webcomics are comics that are published online, allowing creators to reach a global audience without the constraints of traditional publishing. They can cover a wide range of genres, from humor to fantasy, and often feature unique storytelling techniques that take advantage of the digital medium. Many webcomics are serialized, with new episodes released regularly, fostering a dedicated fanbase. Platforms like Webtoon and Tapas have made it easier for artists to share their work and connect with readers, while also providing monetization options for creators through subscriptions and ad revenue.
