Glad to see this happening. Hopefully we'll get shows from Japan/China/Taiwan/India etc too.
My favorite webcomic adaptation is The Sound of Your Heart. Takes a little to adjust to the comedy but it leaves you wanting more. I think it’s still on Netflix.
Some will trash this because it requires reading. Their loss, I suspect (Parasite was amazing).
