Webcomic listings usually come in one of two forms: giant exhaustive catalogs, or else personal favorites in the form of a banner block, with no explanation of why you might like them. With my big webcomic list, I'm trying to strike a middle ground.
Disclaimer: The categories and qualifications below are subjective. E.g. what is and isn't manga is a matter of nuance, and I'm no expert. But if it's listed, it means I like it.
If you have a graphical browser and Javascript, you may want to try the dynamic version instead.
