Sometimes I need to exit my own head and go to a happy place. Webcomics happen to be my comfort place. They make me feel at ease and happy at the same time. I know they will take care of me, that they will give me a wholesome story that will have my attention all the way until the final chapter. If you want to discover the best fantasy webcomics you can find for free online, keep reading!
When I say “find for free,” don’t worry: I mean legally free. They are being published by platforms like Webtoon, Tapas, etc., that pay their creators. A lot of webcomics are free to read, but sometimes, for example in Tapas, you’ll only have available a couple of chapters before you need “ink” to read more. For you to get “ink,” you’ll need to pay for it with real money. I’ve only included webcomics that are free to read in their entirety on this list, though! These apps are pretty easy to use and are great tools for us webcomic fans to read our favorite stories.
But we’re not here to talk about the whole webcomic world, right? In this list, you’ll get to see some amazing fantasy webcomics, specifically: webcomics with whole new worlds, intricate magic systems, epic battles, and maybe even romance. The fantasy genre can take you anywhere!
