Line 36:
* ''[[Johnny the Homicidal Maniac]]'' started as a black comedy, went serious in its fourth and fifth issue and then jumped back to black comedy.
* This seems to be general rule with ''[[Spider-Man]]'', whose stories constantly grow progressively darker, just for [[Marvel]] to hit the [[Reset Button]] and go back to classic humor. The current example would be [[JMS Spider-Man|J. Michael Straczynski's run]], which turned outright depressing after [[Civil War (Comic Book)|Civil War]] tie-ins, to the point that Peter [[One More Day|sold his marriage to the devil]]. Then it all turned back to [[Lighter and Softer]] with ''[[Brand New Day]]'', which itself started getting [[Darker and Edgier]] as time passed, only now to return to the standard funny setting with ''Big Time''.
* ''[[Incredible Hulk (Comic Book)|The Incredible Hulk]]'' became very dark during the ''[[Planet Hulk]]'' and ''[[World War Hulk]]'' storylines, basically becoming ''[[Conan the Barbarian]]'' [[Recycled in Space|IN SPACE!]], but the following [[Jeph Loeb]] run was much [[Lighter and Softer]]. When ''Planet Hulk'''s writer Greg Pak returned, he tried to restore the previous tone. The result was the ''[[Fall of the Hulks]]'' storyline, where Pak and Loeb tried to combine their styles, which didn't end well.
