Know of any other good online comics written by quality comic writers? |

Of what I've read so far I am going to add Freakangels to my daily web comic reading list.
Define quality.
I don't know about quality but some of the ones I think are teh awesome:
Freefall
Girl Genius
Buck Gadot Zap Gun for Hire by the same authors as Girl Genius.
Miracle of Science
I think that's enough for now... These are just a random sampling of my favorites. |

| Girl Genius is shaping up well so far (read the first 50 pages or so), nice art (especially when it shifts into full colour), interesting characters and story. |

Girl Genius keeps getting better and better. Phil Foglio also did a graphic novel adaption of Robert Aspirin's 'Myth' stories (or at least the first part of the series). It's fun, but (IMHO) not nearly as good as GG.
I also like Sci-fi story Crimson Dark, both for the story and for the spaceship designs  |

Girl geinus is probably the webcomic I have been reading for the longest time.
Usually I will eventualy stop reading a webcomic if it drags on for too long or jumps the shark, but Girl geinus has stayed interesting for years.
I also read gunnerkreg court. It's pretty cool. |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumping_the_shark
Traditionally, when a TV show goes bad, though it can be applied to pretty much anything (although when you look through the fridge and say "that milk jumped the shark about three days ago", that's probably a bit of a stretch). Gets its name from an episode of Happy Days where Fonzie wearing water skis literally jumps over a shark. |

Is there a similar phrase for when FlashForward spends an entire 22 episode season developing an intriguing mystery full of cliff hangers, ready for season 2 to finally start answering some questions - ONLY FOR THE NETWORK TO DROP THE SHOW!!!!!!!
Arrrrrgggggghhhhhhh........
Luckily, it's based on a novel which I've reserved at my local library, however it appears the novel and the show took quite different paths. Doh!
Anyway, sorry, I digress.... |

Not as far as I'm aware, but we could always call it "The Firefly Effect", or for short, "being Firefly'd".
I'm well aware that Firefly is hardly the first excellent TV show to be cancelled way too early, especially by Fox (and yes, I know FlashForward wasn't on Fox, before anyone points it out). |
