The comics so far:
Ask The Splat Crew: The comic that started it all, an interactive ask series where you can ask The Splat Crew and others questions about life, love, and many more. Is non-canon. The first page can be found here
Wrath of Lucky: A now (mostly) Retconned comic, a collab with (now deactivated) deviantart user KKirby999. An evil overlord named Lucky is tired of the game Splatoon being so popular, so he decides to send in his two newfound minions, Merasmus and the Bombinomicon, into the game so he can destroy it from within. He builds two android versions of the Squid Sisters called the Squiddroids and makes them sing a song that will drive everyone insane via a concert. Will the Splat Crew be able to stop them before it's too late? The first page can be found here.
