Necessary Monsters

""Spy-Horror Thrills By Sean Azzopardi & Daniel Merlin Goodbrey""

Necessary Monsters is a adventure webcomic that combines a MIB-style covert agency with the world of eldritch horror: the story of a team of cop-monster monster-cops.

This work has examples of:

 * All in The Eyes: Jonathon's pale unworldly eyes. Charlotte's never-seen eyes. Tuesday's all-black eyes. Knife Mother's sewn-shut eyes. The Ju-Ju man's eyes.
 * An Offer You Can't Refuse: Tuesday's Shackling.
 * Badass: everyone.
 * Black Helicopter: Frequent mode of fransport for Chain members...although something about the chopper is a little off.
 * Body Horror: all over the place. A crowning moment would be the poor mook Jonathon Gravehouse utters unholy truths to: he is so horrified he tears his own skull apart via thumbs in his own eyesockets.
 * Brown Note: Jonathon tells a man on the safehouse front desk something that causes him to pull his own skull apart. Also, looking into Charlotte's eyes is instant death.
 * Conspiracy Redemption: there is this flavour to the Chain.
 * Cosmic Horror Story: It's almost our world, save for the massive conspiracy upheld by monsters of every kind -from slashers to Eldritch Abominations- to keep humanity in general safe, ignorant and complacent, until they use us for their needs and wants. Cattle herds have to be properly tended, you know.
 * Eldritch Abomination: Thomas Harp and Jonathon Gravehouse. What a name.
 * Epiphany Therapy: Tuesday's showdown with Harp.
 * Let's Split Up, Gang!: in the safehouse, but hey, we're the terror in here.
 * The Faceless: Charlotte. Though it's only her eyes that we never see.
 * Heroic BSOD: Tuesday, upon finding her true face has stuck.
 * Immune to Bullets: Cowboy 13.
 * Initiation Ceremony: the shackling of Creeping Tuesday.
 * Jack Attack: Jack, natch. May even possibly be that Jack.
 * Lovecraftian Superpower:
 * Both Thomas Harp and Jonathon Gravehouse are shells for titanic horrors.
 * Knife Mother's Mook Maker abilities come from the thirteen stab wounds in her back. they've become cysts where embryos form, then fall off and grow rapidly from orange-sized to fully grown, clothed, sewn-shut eyes, knife-wielding identical killers.
 * Made of Iron: Cowboy 13 again. Fitting considering he's a Jason Vorhees/Michael Myers-type slasher.
 * Mook Maker: The Mother of Knives' specific power.
 * Motive Decay: Discussed by Charlotte. She started out killing the people who killed her. Then she started killing bad people. Then, she realized everyone is bad, in their own way...
 * Names to Run Away From Really Fast: Almost everyone. Jonathon Gravehouse, Charlotte Hatred, Creeping Tuesday, Harp's Bane, Jack...
 * New Meat: Tuesday when she's drafted into the Chain.
 * One-Winged Angel: see Lovecraftian Superpower.
 * Putting the Band Back Together: Jonathon getting the crew back together is part of the opening act.
 * Resignations Not Accepted: the Chain.
 * Serial Killer: Cowboy 13, as mentionned above.
 * Smug Snake: Jack and Gravehouse.
 * Spy Fiction: Martini Flavoured.
 * The Spymaster: Jack.
 * These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know: Jonathon Gravehouse utters unholy truths to the mook on the front desk of the safehouse: he is so horrified he tears his own skull apart via thumbs in his eyesockets.
 * What Have I Become?: Tuesday.
