I like this idea:
Howsabout 3 people traveling across the multiverse for something that is never clearly defined?

But make sure one of them is a girl. Y'know, to add drama.

Also, make it start right in the middle of the story to add confusion and explain everything later with flashbacks.

How about a comic about a moon base, and the hilarious antics that sometimes take place?

You could have it like this. A lone person wakes up in a fire, and it's all mute at this point: He runs to get out of the burning building, but a beam falls and hits him on his heroic cranium. Knocking him out, and thus rendering him an amnesiac. He wakes up in the grass near the town when the ashes are all scattered about. CUE THE MAIN PLOT

How about you go with the extradimensional travel, but the two guys start off as loser friends talking about the latest video games. Then they meet the girl, who has magical powers and is being hunted down by the Church as a witch. In an ambush by the Church, the girl teleports herself and the two guys to some unknown location in another universe.

I was thinking more along the lines of serious magic, not Japanese Magical Girl.
The difference being, serious magic doesn't require a silly transformation and lots of panty-shots. Serious magic is like casting greater fireball as opposed to "Magical Power of Love!!!!!!1!!111!!!!!1"

How good are you at art? do you want it to be a gag comic or serous and dark? Should it have an end decided before you begin drawing it or be open-ended? are you planing on doing daily, weekly, monthly, or some other update schedule? Do you want a scifi, fantasy, or modern setting?

I have QUITE a few idea, and I do consider myself quite good at these kinds of things (I know a fair bit abaut both the webcomic medium, art, storytelling, and am good at coming up with story concepts), but answering those questions about what you want, and maybe a few other thought you have to indicate scope and direction, is good to do before anything is decided.

A webcomic is LOTS more work than most people think, and a great responsibility as well, there are few things sadder than a webcomic that died before quite making it oft he ground

I would argue that on the universal 10-point scale of sad things, failed webcomics are about a 2. Genocide, maybe, would be a 10.

Oh! How about famous dead atheists hanging out in purgatory? It would be like Seinfeld, except everyone is dead.

yes. Firstly, I'm sick of 'two gamers' comic. The only hood ones are few and far between. If you're going to do one, it better be shockingly original, it's been done so many times before I don't think I could stomach it. Also, I will never read the comic ever if you put in a 'the cake is a lie' joke.

So what's your plan to make it stand out?

Two... three year old gamers? Or do they times their candles by six?

As for what Armok said, I think I can put it in a way that makes you feel less angry.

You have to do this yourself. If you go into a project with no idea of what you are doing, it's not going to work out. You can't depend on us for ideas, and if you need to then I'm not sure how you'll do a comic, be it gag a day or arc style. And then you say you'll be doing a comic about a couple of gamers, with stuff. That idea is so creatively drained that I can't even think up a metaphor for how creatively drained it is. Sure, we can help you along, but you need to start and have a very clear idea of where you are going.

So what is stuff, anyway?

It's not that, sorry if I sounded offended.

Basically, a comic is something you have to do yourself. One thing that will guarantee it's demise is relying on others for your ideas. Especially considering you'll start out almost totally unknown and it will take you, by my reckoning, upwards of a year to become popular. Depending on other people for ideas is a death sentence. If you just wanted to start a thread about drawing comics of what people request, well, everyone knows you on this board so that would probably work. A comic though? No chance.

Draw Gordon Freeman highfiving Albert Einstein in a 20 foot jump-five, while Black mesa blows up in the background.

Well armok, lets see what you can do. I predict, despite not having seen any srs art by you, predict that will be utter crap and dead within a month.
Uuumm, I have never stated I were going to start any webcomic, if I did do it I would start out with much sounder policies and attitudes than Org have expressed, and thus be likely to succeed, but doing a webcomic well (and I am not the type to produce just another crappy one) takes many hours every day and at my current level of artistic development I do not quite find it worthwhile.
