I’m going to copy one of my old comments here, so some of the things I’m calling recent here are no longer recent:
I’ll start at the beginning. The first comic I was introduced to (by a friend in highschool) was Bob and George, a sprite comic using megaman sprites and characters. It was alright, but not spectacular. Next is Dominic Deegan, a webcomic about a seer. I recommend it, though it’s over now. The author is of that is currently doing Star Power, which is something completely different but seems pretty good for now. Moving on from chronological order, here’s a recommendation list, just the good stuff. I’m leaving out comics that were cancelled or appear to be dead before reaching a satisfying conclusion, though some of them are good too. In addition, there are some that appear to have disappeared off the internet and I have little memory of. Those will not be listed. In no particular order:
Freefall. Oft-Humourous Sci-Fi… Drama? The kind of Sci-Fi that really explores the meaning and consequences of certain kinds of tech (especially A.I.) from an interesting angle. Easily the oldest webcomic on this list, both in terms of its own age and how long I’ve been following it. It’s also one of the longest-running webcomics on the 'net, so you’ve got a binge waiting for you.
Out-of-Placers. This one’s been going slow. Fantasy Drama of some kind that’s really giving you time to explore this world it’s been building.
Dan and Mab’s Furry Adventures (Primary Site, Katbox). A Furry Drama Adventure. Starts off genuinely bad. Try to read the first few pages to get introduced to the characters, but if you need to, skip to page 64 to get to the start of the first real story arc, which is also around when the art at least starts improving somewhat.
Project Future. This is, for all intents and purposes, a collection of fanfics for DMFA (above). If you liked that, you might want to read this next.
KiLA iLO. Sci-Fi Drama. Aliens visiting earth searching for something hidden there. Concluded.
Prequel. Fantasy (specifically TES) Adventure. Bends the format a lot, might be an acquired taste.
Radioactive Panda. Concluded. I can’t remember what it was about, but I can remember it left me wanting more from the author, which is the sole reason for this recommendation.
Schlock Mercenary. Corny Sci-Fi Adventure. Another long-runner, has updated very close to every day for 18 years, prepare for a binge.
Sue and Kathryn. Paranormal Humorous Adventure featuring a zombie and a wraith. By the same author as Selkie, it appears as a fictional kids’ show in that universe.
Skin Deep. Paranormal Drama/Adventure featuring a secret society of shapeshifting creatures.
You’re taking me all the way back, eh?
I’m surprised I don’t see Melonpool, Unlike Minerva, Dragon Tails, Nuclear Power, Kevin & Kell, Buttercup Festival, Applegeeks, Mac Hall, College Roomies From Hell, or any of David Willis’s works, given how much else our experiences overlap.
Upvote for Gunnerkrigg Court, Ozzie and Millie, and Girl Genius.
I need to catch up on girl genius, but the other two I can attest to their quality up until now.
Definitely will be checking out the rest you recommend and another two I’d throw out there, although maybe a little too dragged out and have some controversy are Misfile and Questionable Content.

Dominic Deegan is an amazing suggestion but needs a content warning.
