I put my vote in for The Good The Bad and the Ugly.  The whole man with no name trilogy was pretty excellent.

Will it still be your favourite even after your marketing company fires you for not being able to construct valid URLs in your thinly veiled spam posts?

*keeps fingers crossed*

Just messin with ya too:)

But anyway I really do like this webcomic.  I have a copy of the first issue actually in front of me right now that I got at New York Comic Con, which was my true impetus in checking out the series.  Btw, the link works now:)

Ok I know there are comics fans on Geek Forum, what are you guy's favourite webcomics?

I'll start with a new favourite of mine.

I work for the marketing company that picked up a campaign for Falling Skies, the webcomic done by Dark Horse in conjunction with TNT.  So far I like what I'm reading (I have been a comic fan since Claremon't run on X-men in the 80's).

The book itself, is written by longtime Dark Horse cohort, Mark Verheiden (Aliens Vs. Predator, My Name Is Bruce), the series storyboards the harrowing events of an alien invasion, which places Tom Mason, and his three sons, Hal, Ben and Matt in a struggle to survive as they fight back against the aliens.

It seems very interesting with characters that are just trying to do their best to get by in a rough, albeit sci fi situation. I really have enjoyed the issues that I have seen,

There is also a TV series that will take place after the webcomic, there is a good trailer out there on fanbolt:http://www.fanbolt.com/headline/10275/F

That's my current favourite active webcomic, what about you guys?

Right now I am reading Caves of Steel by Isaac Asimov, just read Asimov's Foundation and Earth and Red Planet by Robert Heinlein.

I used to be into simpler Sci-Fi and Fantasy but I have been recently trying and loving the classics.

Well from what I gather elemental shaman like myself were a non class, you couldn't do much as a hybrid other than heal back in the day(of course I don't know as I didn't play then).

I might not have like the game as much then from that perspective.

And insofar as birth or conception...I will have to say birth since I was conceived on coconut rum lol the coolest conception ever.  But I was born at a theater playing star wars lol, and immediately following that I was immersed in the Trek world so birth was definitely geekier than conception.

Thanks for the welcome guys!

Hey guys names MelvinKang.  I have been a geek all my life and a gamer.  I live in NYC and work for a marketing company there during the day. 

I recently got into World of Warcraft as I tried the 14 day trial at the Mountain Dew Game Fuel Site ( http://www.mountaindewgamefuel.com/index.php ), pretty great game and my first MMO, before that i was big into fight games, having taken part in various tournaments in Tekken 4, & 5 and other fight games.

I am big into Sci Fi and am an avid reader, though I have to admit new TV Sci Fi hasn't interested me much as a lot of it seems to have become too formulaic.

Well anyway I look forward to being a member of these forums and getting to know the community!
