Another Top 10 Homosexual Webtoon Comics That We Need to Talk About
A whole year has gone by since the first Top 10 Gay Webtoon Comics That We Requirement to Talk About, and since then the gays own been busy. As fast as we powerwalk through a hallway or sprint to the move floor during a Beyoncé song, brand-new comics have been popping up on the Webtoon app. AND, I’ve been finding more and more that we need to converse about.
So, listen, I know you’re not here to eavesdrop to my queer ramblings, you’re here to find more gay comics to read. I’ve got 10 ranked by my personal taste below. Have at ‘em. They’re really good and their authors are *chef’s kiss*.
If you haven’t already, check out the first post for another batch of gay Webtoons. And if your favorites aren’t here or there, abandon them in the comments.
K, thanks, now to the queer stuff…
Muscular demon slayer with a whip? I’ve never wanted to be a demon so ill. And, well, that’s kind of the case with this romance-meets-action comic. A rough-and-tough bad teen needs protection against a bunch of demons after him, and his hero is a dreamy demon slayer with magical powers given to him by angels. Whatever religion this is
Our favorite queer comics creators recommend the best homosexual indie comics
But while a few titles get the attention, so many other creators are out there bringing queer themes and characters to the comics industry, in stories ranging from fantasy and horror to mainstream drama and erotica to autobiographical comics that go far beyond the usual coming-out stories. Polygon recently reached out to five of our favorite queer comics creators to ask what they consider the best gender non-conforming comics from the indie world, from small-press publishers to webcomics to self-published work and more.
Tillie Waldenis one of the best-known creators in queer indie comics. She’s a prolific writer and artist, acknowledged for books like the swoony road-trip fantasy Are You Listening, the science fiction epic On a Sunbeam, the autobiographical graphic novel Spinning, and most recently, the Telltale Games tie-in graphic novel Clementine.
What do you look for in a queer indie comic?
Tillie Walden: I watch for something really unlike than I used to when I was younger. When you’re fresh off coming out, I deliberate you look for being alive, baseline “Oh my god, a queer person exists! I love this book! It’s my new
Supporting Queer Comics & Creators
In the prior days of Comic Book Herald, I’d occasionally get promotional Kickstarter emails banter a “queer sci-fi saga” (or some such), and I’ll fully admit, I did not know what sexuality had to do with the promotion. What did the “queerness” of this function have to undertake with selling me on the story and artistic vision of the comic book?
I’m not a part of the community, and there’s a lot I still don’t know, but I look now that there’s inherent value in marginalized perspectives in story, and there’s worth in supporting the voices that aim to say them. So many of my favorite comic books are either directly or indirectly about gender non-conforming people, relationships, and community, and huge amounts of my favorite comic publication creators identify as gay, lesbian, gender non-conforming, bisexual or other identifiers in the LGBTQIA+ range. The simple reality is that the more queer stories and creators at the forefront of comics, the better variety of new, electrifying works we obtain to enjoy.
It’s a dangerous time to be queer in America. We don’t get to simply solve that by supporting qu

The planet of queer webcomics is a truly vast and wonderful world. I’m fully convinced that if you can dream it up, there’s a webcomic about it. Gays in vacuum, check. Fantasy romance, verify. Time travel, check. Queers bringing down corrupt governments, check. But those tropes and themes are just the beginning. While making this list, I fell down many a rabbit hole into so many strange, fascinating, and imaginative worlds. The comics I’ve collected here are just a small sample of the vast queer imaginatio
The 5 best LGBTQ+ webcomics
Webcomics have long outgrown their niche and the sites Tapas and Webtoons take charge at least the market outside of Asia.
[German version of this article]
Webcomics are a special kind of serial publication of comics, optimized for the web or created especially for it. Usually, a modern chapter of a series is published weekly. You scroll down, vertically.
While anyone can publish themselves on Tapas and Webtoons, the respective sites offer publishing contracts for particularly thriving series.
As a creator, of course, you can always choose not to autograph and remain completely independent.
I’ve been reading webcomics for years, and like everywhere else, there’s a lot of bad, but also some exceptionally good function. Here come my 5 favorite LGBTQ+ themed webcomics.
5. Heartstopper by Alice Oseman | slice of life, coming of age, romance
Yes, by now everyone knows about this series, thanks to Netflix. But I actually started reading it years ago and even possess two volumes in reproduce at home, so of course I feel appreciate a trendsetter and finer than everyone else. (No, I’m seriously glad the comic gets the hype it deserves.)
