But we have no way of knowing if it something you would like.
I used 7 tries to get past the first act, but i'm impatient, which has a lot to do with it.

That trailer is the best way to show someone how awesome Homestuck can get.
There's also this from the Kickstarter page, which sums up pretty well what Homestuck more or less is.
"It's a story about some kids who are friends over the internet. They decide to play a game together. There are major consequences."
It starts off really weird. It took me two tries to get past the first act myself, but once I finished Act 1, I couldn't stop. Homestuck isn't for everyone, though, so I wouldn't blame you if you couldn't get into it if you even got past Act 2.
My personal opinion: The art style is simple, but amazing in most panels. Simple enough to where the author can churn out several pages in a day or two, more if there's a flash update involved. It's a creative cross between a single-panel comic, a flash animation and a flash game. The characters are very diverse, and there are a LOT of them. The humor is great and so is the writing itself. It is also VERY, VERY INTENSE, as you eventually find out as you go along, if you even do. It's also very confusing but you eventually follow everything like it's second-nature when you catch up.
It's definitely worth trying to get past the first one or two acts for.
