Stonetoss is an independent webcomic covering current events, American politics and internet culture. Its primary theme is a critique of so-called “free thinkers” hysterically trying to shut all thinking down. The author encourages you to enjoy the comic, but if it offends you, that’s okay too.

Midnight's War
77 episodes
by Vox Day
In the year 8466 of the Cainite calendar, in the aftermath of a catastrophic global economic crisis, the vampire tribes came out of the shadows for the first time in more than 2,600 years and revealed themselves to an unsuspecting humanity. With near-complete control of the media, the national governments, the global financial system, and most of the major international institutions, most of humanity was helpless to resist the vampiric bid for power. But drawing inspiration from the crusading orders of the Middle Ages, twelve young men joined together in a new military order, The Knights of Saint Michael and of the Catacombs of Rome. Armed with little more than their faith and blood that is poison to their enemies, The Knights of Saint Michael wage a desperate war against the vampire lords of the midnight world.

Chuck Dixon’s Avalon
106 episodes
by The Legend Chuck Dixon
From the mean streets of Moseley to the oceanfront villas of Diamond Beach, crime affects everyone in Avalon. And the presence of the superhumans known around the city as "specials" hasn't necessarily made life for the average citizen any better, since the local vigilantes are as apt to demand payment for their protection as they are to provide their services for free. The crime-fighting duo of King Ace and Fazer are true heroes, not vigilantes, as Fazer explains the difference to a reporter interviewing him for the Avalon Sentinel. A hero doesn't expect thanks or payment, he helps people because it is the right thing to do. And a hero doesn't kill anyone, ever. All Fazer and the big guy are trying to do is make everyday life better for everyone who lives in their city. But even heroes face temptation.

Story Five: The Deep Dark Hole panel 1
Story Five: The Deep Dark Hole panel 2

After Mother left the room, I stared, slightly gasping, at the closet and four walls around me. At first there was nothing but blackness. Then, as I got drowsy, I suddenly I felt as if I were weak, and floating on my back. Then the bed began to rock gently back and forth and lift up on end from the foot. I almost enjoyed this strange sensation in my half asleep state.

Story Five: The Deep Dark Hole panel 4

Dreams come on in strange ways and for a second I felt as if I were being flushed down the toilet like a helpless spider. I heard a voice yelling, “Help!” as if drowning…

... and then I came out the sewer pipe into a ditch under the bamboo. My grandmother had warned me not to go near that ditch because the fat, dirty Boogey Man would get me…
