Line 6:
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 [[Forever War|last for all eternity]].
 
The comic can be found [http://www.biblecomic.net/archive/rebound-volume-1-cover/ here]. It updates on Mondays. Do not confuse with [[The Bible (Literature)|the well-known book]] [[NamesName's the Same|by the same name]].
 
=== Tropes appearing in BIBLE: ===
Line 28:
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: The Sins. Wrath is a giant bear with horns and glowing eyes. Four others are pictured in the gallery section, and are just as hideous.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Lieutenant Duncan, both in- and out-of-universe.
* [[EverythingsEverything's Worse With Bears]]: Wrath. Also, [[Incendiary Exponent|he drools lava]].
* [[Evil Is Not a Toy]]: Wrath goes on a rampage after the [[Summoning Ritual]] is disrupted.
** Also, several of the vampire cultists were disintegrated by Wrath's power ''when the ritual was still working properly''.
Line 45:
* [[Humans Are Special]]: We have yet to see any in the comic proper, but Creation mentions that humans are the species that God loves the most and gave ''by far'' the [[Functional Magic|most]] [[Creating Life|power]] to.
* [[Hypercompetent Sidekick]]: Opal to Balthazar. It's actually a joking matter between them.
* [[IllI'll Pretend I Didn't Hear That]]: Balthazar could probably get in trouble poking around the records of a [[Fallen Angel]], but not if Max forgets to make a note that the file was accessed.
* [[I Shall Taunt You]]: Rex, not that it really works.
{{quote| '''[[New Meat|Nicholas]]''':Why do you put up with that, Sir?<br />
Line 59:
** There are also cherubim, which may or may not be souls but are all barbarous thugs.
* [[Our Elves Are Better]]: [[Innocent Bystander|No, they aren't]].
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: "Soul vampires" are demonic half-breeds, have mortal souls, and have a distressing tendency to form [[Cult|cults]]. Also, [[Non -Indicative Name|they don't drink blood or souls]].
* [[Power At a Price]]: Magic comes with such a high price that angels are outright banned from using it, although [[Healing Hands|healing]] seems to be an exception.
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Angels don't age in the conventional sense. Balthazar, for instance, is 951 years old.
Line 68:
* [[Suicidal Overconfidence]]: All the [[New Meat]], but especially Nicholas. He attacked a [[Asskicking Equals Authority|vampire commander]] alone, and would have been fried if Opal hadn't been there to save him.
* [[Summon Magic]]: Used occasionally by demonic forces. Summoned creatures are very powerful and [[Feel No Pain]], but have [[No Ontological Inertia]] and vanish instantly when the summoner is killed or incapacitated.
* [[Summoning Ritual]]: Distinct from [[Summon Magic]] above (which can be done at will), the vampires also summoned up [[Eldritch Abomination|Wrath]] in a ceremony involving lots of chanting and [[Human Sacrifice|some poor schmuck]] [[Family -Unfriendly Death|being burned to death on a glowing-hot summoning circle]].
* [[Team Mom]]: Opal to Balthazar's command.
* [[The Legions of Hell]]
