Webcomic of the [time increment] #1 :: Gone with the Blast Wave

So, being a reader of webcomics for many years, I have decided to make a little segment for words, which, I hope, will perhaps have some sort of timely existence. I have been reading web-comics on and off since my early, stupid, tender years of early internet exploration. Some of the earlier comics I found varied in nature from gamer/internet user audience, joke based strips to more serious, plot arc comics and pretty much everything in-between.
Most people stumble across webcomics for various reasons, and hopefully I can help be a guide to good comics, and a fence around the angry cage of sinfully bad mutant webcomics that should probably be tossed into an angry pit of wolverines and then subsequently be sealed off from the world with fresh magma from the nearest volcano.

So, without further ado, I give you
Webcomic of the [TI]#1: Gone with the Blastwave

If you thought that post-apocalyptic wastelands were a place filled with misery, death, radiation, mutants and war, you're absolutely, 100% correct. However, if you thought that such subjects couldn't ever be laughed at, well... you need to have a look at Gone with the Blastwave.
GwtB is a wonderful little comic that I recently discovered. When I say recently, I mean, oh, about an hour or two before I started writing this.

So far, I have laughed my way through all 40 of it's pages, and I promise that I will be laughing my way right to the end of this comic's run. It's hooked me. So far, the humor has been a variety of morbid slapstick and dialogue jokes of wandering aimlessly through what is a war torn wasteland of a city. The story is pretty simple, if just non-existent, which is promising for the future of GwtB. (Having read through the FAQ, there seems to be a planned plot line, it is just not very apparent as of now.) It could literally go anywhere at this point.

The comic is a good read. I've found funnier things on the net, but the artwork is quite decent. It's at least worth a look. The humor is pretty simple, and mostly morbid, admittedly. It doesn't quite have the wit of some comedic work, but even still, it does explore a destroyed, dark world with a rather tongue and cheek attitude. In that, GwtB is unique. It's parody of a post-apocalyptic wasteland is quite creative, and the humor that stems from that is truly worth your time.

Overall, Gone with the Blastwave is an entertaining read.
I give it an 8/11
Good start Kimmo Lemetti, keep it up

tl;dr: Funny comic. Morbid humor. Check it out.
