What exactly is webcomics?

Webcomics, also known as online comics and internet comics, are comics that are available to read on the Internet. Many are exclusively published online, while some are published in print but maintain a web archive for either commercial or artistic reasons. With the Internet's easy access to an audience, webcomics run the gamut from traditional cartoon strips to graphic novels and have covered many different genres and subjects.

Webcomics are similar to self-published print comics in that almost anyone can create their own webcomic and publish it on the Web. There are over 18,000 webcomics currently online with very few of them being financially self-sustaining.

Quite a bleak picture quoted from Wikipedia.

As far as the Webcomic module is concerned, quoting from the webcomic module page:

The webcomic module is designed to maintain an online comic or graphic novel. It can be used for simple strip-a-day comics as well as more complex graphic novels, where organization by storyline and issue are essential. Basic content types work, views integration is in place, browsing works, strip-based archives work, but a number of archiving modes and several other essential features are not finished yet. Webcomic.module requires image.module for image uploading and display, and views.module for its archive listings.

Current features include:

• Maintain bios of every recurring character, listing them on a 'cast' page
• Organize strips by publish date, strip number, issue/episode, storyline, etc
• Scheduled publishing of individual strips and entire issues
• A convenient 'in-story timestamp' for each strip, to maintain continuity
• Planned features include
