SCREEN TONES WILL BE AT TCAF (TORONTO COMIC ARTS FESTIVAL) 2026. STOP BY OUR TABLE FOR ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING WEBCOMICS.
Depending on the scope and needs of your webcomic project, a webcomic platform can be a great addition, or alternative, to an independent website. Many platforms have come and gone across the years, but today in 2026, the most well known options are Webtoon, Tapas, and Comic Fury. There can be a lot of confusion about what webcomic platforms can and can’t do for your project, so we’re going to dig into what they’re all about and what you can expect when you use them.
❓What do you like about your current webcomic platform? Either as a reader or creator.
BONUS NOTES (things we weren't able to elaborate on in the episode):
Yes, when it comes to webrings, Webtoons and Tapas give your website a URL, but you can’t post other comics' links on your Webtoons or Tapas sites the way you can on a Comic Fury. Webrings are about other sharing links on your page as well as having others link back to you. Comic Fury has the capability to use custom URLs.
People can be rude when commenting on websites as well. We all know this. However, there is a lot more ability to moderate commenting on a personal website than on premade platforms. So there's more frustration in general with commenting platforms on Webtoon and Tapas.
Tapas allows more mature content than Webtoon, but when you mark an episode or series mature, it gets much fewer views, and mature series are hidden on the app from new readers.
A very important plus to joining the Tapas contracted non-exclusive paid programs (Creator Bonus Program, Early Access) was that people who participate get a lot of extra promo. The promo opportunities were Bob's primary motivation in joining; the sandwich money was just a nice bonus. Their other passive income opportunities (ad revenue, ink donations) don't result in extra views/promo.
Webtoon is the best site of the 3 for younger audiences. What I did not mean is that comics for older readers do worse on Webtoon than comics for younger readers (they don't), and I just wasn't sure if I made that clear enough.
