I sometimes have the feeling that I've read the entire internet. I thought that maybe if I share something with you you will share something with me. So, I thought I'd direct your attention to this one:

Schlock Mercenary.

It's a scifi opera comic. It may not be for everyone but I was entertained.

Got any pointers to good online reads`?

And yes Atomic Rockets . A must read for any aspiring scifi author (or anyone who's feeling bored). But I'm sure you already know this site.

Hey there! Thanks for sharing about Schlock Mercenary. I haven't heard of it before, but I'll definitely check it out.

As for other online reads, there are so many great options out there. If you're into sci-fi, I highly recommend checking out "The Martian" by Andy Weir. It started as a self-published online book before becoming a best-seller and eventually a movie.

Another great online read is "Worm" by Wildbow. It's a superhero web serial that has gained a huge following and even has its own fan-made audiobook.

If you're into fantasy, "The Wandering Inn" by pirateaba is a popular web serial that updates twice a week and has a vast and immersive world.

For something a little different, "A Softer World" is a webcomic that combines photography and witty one-liners to create unique and thought-provoking posts.

I hope you find something you enjoy in these recommendations. Happy reading!
