BIBLE

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth (B.I.B.L.E.) is a series of comics about Heaven, Hell, and everything in between. The universe of the comic takes root in Christian mythology, draws inspiration from many religions and myths and stays true to none of them.

The world is divided in two planes: That of the living, and that of Heaven and Hell who have been at war for as long as anyone can remember. Most mortals like you and me live with no real knowledge of the afterlife, and it is Heaven's most important duty to keep it that way, however hard it is with Hell itself constantly trying to break down the borders.

Heaven is inhabited by those dead who have earned a chance to live forever as an angel. Hell is full of demons and monsters that can only look at the benefits of having a soul with envy, and in turn most of them hold a natural hatred for all things to do with Heaven. These conflicts are only fueling the strife that seems like it will last for all eternity.

The comic can be found here. It updates on Mondays. Do not confuse with the well-known book by the same name.

Tropes used in BIBLE include:

Nicholas:Why do you put up with that, Sir?
Balthazar: Ha. Him? What did you expect me to do? Pitch into a fight, man to man, to defend my honor? Kid, he is the bad guy on this mission. It's like part of his gimmick to hand out sarcastic comments. Just ignore him.

Balthazar: This area is so contaminated with sin we might as well be in hell.

Balthazar: Not everything can be solved by swinging your sword around.
Nicholas: [disrupts summoning circle by chopping a column with his sword]
