The Bricks are awarded at the annual SPX comics festival in Bethesda, Maryland in September. The nominees for Outstanding Online Comic are an interesting mix:

• Bird Boy by Annie Szabla
• Haunter by Sam Alden
• Gabby’s Playhouse  by Gabby Schulz
• July Diary by Gabrielle Bell
• SuperMutant Magic Academy by Jillian Tamaki
  

I’ve heard of all of them except for Haunter but haven’t actually read any of them!! Always nice to have good recommendations to get to though.
