Sprite comic - Sprite comic Sprite comics are web comics that use video game sprites and backgrounds for their artwork. It is mainly used by creative people who cannot draw, or do not wish to draw, but want to express their creativity visually. While the ease of creation (just slap some sprites made by someone else on a background, and add text bubbles) allows many low quality sprite comics to be made, there are many that show consistent high visual quality, both in use of custom sprites and graphic editing tools such as Photoshop. The format of such comics varies, from single panel, to four panels across, to comic book-like full page spreads. There are even animated sprite comics, where each 'strip' is a separate mini-movie, some utilizing Flash.

Comics - images in fixed sequence. Written text is often incorporated into the images. Comics are traditionally printed in newspapers or comic books. The precise definition of comics remains a subject of debate, with some scholars insisting that their printed nature is crucial to the definition, or that they should be defined by the interdependance of image and text. Others define the medium in terms of its sequential nature. Longtime comics artist Will Eisner referred to comics as sequential art. Artist Scott McCloud refined this definition in his influential 1993 work of comics theory in the form of a comic, Understanding Comics. According to McCloud, "[Comics are] juxtaposed pictorial and other images in deliberate sequence, intended to convey information and/or to produce an aesthetic response in the viewer." By this definition, single panel.

Web comic - Web comic Web comics are comic strips that are published only on the web. Many web comics are little different from traditional paper comics, but a few web comics artists have taken advantage of the web's unique abilities. Scott McCloud has pioneered the idea of the infinite canvas, the idea that web comics should be free to spread out in every direction indefinetly, rather than confining themselves to dimensions that would fit on a piece of paper. Other artists have experimented with the incorporation of animation into their comics (although purists may believe animation has no place in comics). The web has, at least potentially, several advantages over the conventional form of publishing. It has removed many of the traditional barriers that prevent an independent comics artist.
