LET US TELL YOU ABOUT HOMESTUCK.
What else could it be, besides a bunch of kids stuck in their homes?
Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff?
“PPPPHHHHBBBB” I say to you. Homestuck consists of 4 main “humans” and 12 main “trolls” as well as what seems like a million other characters all in one scrambled egg situation. Originally anticipating the release of SBURB, a computer game, they realize that the game takes them into another world, and the four kids traverse their assigned lands. Often they are trolled by what they believe are basic internet trolls, but indeed are actually an alien-insect ish race from another planet who too, have a game like SBURB called Hivebent. First the trolls insults and make fun of the humans, but eventually they must work together to beat the game to for the greater good of the trolls and humans.

Oh yeah, and it may not have weird puzzle stuff like Problem Sleuth, but it has the new and improved “weird plot stuff!”. gog it’s so difficult to understand sometimes...
If you like reading complex and long webcomics, welcome to Homestuck my friend!
I (GG) warn you though! Homestuck is very addictive, so enjoy controllably!

Homestuck has a lot of things going for it. Awesome art and animation and music, funny jokes, lovable characters, a daily update schedule of several pages a day...what's not to like?

The story is very extensive, currently spanning five acts (a sixth in progress) and over 4000 pages. At first the story mainly focuses on four children playing a game called SBURB (that happens to be linked to the end of the world). Despite the website being titled "MS Paint Adventures", all the webcomics (save for the very first picture of Jailbreak, which actually is drawn in Paint) are created in Photoshop, while many of the longer Homestuck animations are done in Flash.
I will tell you, once you start reading Homestuck (and get past Act One), you will quickly become addicted to the engaging story, which as mentioned above, quickly becomes very, very complex, with all sorts of time loops and planets and alchemy and apparently chess? Anyway, I guarantee you that if you take the time to archive binge Homestuck, you will not be disappointed. Not to mention the fact that its fanbase is pretty awesome too.
Personally, I don't see Homestuck so much as a "webcomic" in that it isn't exactly told in comic strips. It's more like "pictures and then dialogue" (you'll see what I mean).
I can't tell you guys too much without ruining too much of the plot, so I'll just leave it at that. Homestuck isn't just a webcomic: it's an experience.
