Gushing about webcomics you like

I like webcomics. I like reading webcomics, I have 35 feeds marked "webcomic" on Feedly. That's not enough, everyone rec me and each other webcomics! I'll start with some of the less-known ones I assume people here would like.
Stand Still. Stay Silent. A cheery post-apocalyptic comic about Nordic co-operation.
It's also very pretty. The plot is basically a hundred years after the apocalypse a ragtag bunch of misfits go to a part of Denmark where no man has set foot in decades. On the way they learn about friendship and I don't know, languages and magic? (The one downside is the "present day" prologue that goes on for 70 pages and hasn't been very relevant yet.) It updates four times a week now that the writer has to post all the Kickstarter books, but the normal five times a week schedule should resume in a month, the latest. Go read it, it's my latest obsession.
String Theory I like to call this "amoral protagonist's slow slide into villany".
It's about how a scientist ends up legally dead and in jail after a few very bad choices, and how he needs to claw his way out of the jam. The first pages are from the year 2009, and the drawing style has gotten more polished since, for example after the first chapter all pages have been in color. Unfortunately the person who draws it has had some heath issues lately and the updates have been very sporadic.
O Human Star Searching for identity in an unfamiliar world.
In the beginning of the comic the protagonist wakes up on a lab table in a robot body 16 years after his death. That's all I'm going to say, several major plot points were spoiled to me when it was first recced to me and I'm going to let everyone else experience it unspoiled.
Feral Gendry Modern fairies!
A solitary fairy barely managing it the modern world finds a group of other fairies and gets pullet back into their politics. It also does some interesting things with moving panels. It's quite slow, especially when it updates only once a week, but I like the atmosphere.
