Line 3:
A ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]''-based webcomic that stands out from many like it in that it follows an evil group. An evil group who knows they are evil and glory in it. An evil group who knows it, glories in it, and are total [[Badass|Badasses]] too.
 
In fact, the story begins with a knight named Gort discovering that when making a [[Deal Withwith the Devil]], usually you aren't going to get away with a double-cross. Not one to take death lying down, he rapidly returns [[Like a Badass Out of Hell]]. Gathering up his [[True Companions]] (the ones he hasn't killed yet), he embarks on his quest for [[A God Am I|invincibility]]. Too bad several members of his group have their own motivations. Not to mention the [[Evil Twin]] (which would be good in this case). Add in Gort's old rival returning [[Like a Badass Out of Hell|Like A Badass Out Of Heaven]] and you begin to get an idea of the plot.
 
The second major arc is about the war against "The Worm Lord", who starts as a disturbing rumor before becoming a tangible enemy.
Line 9:
Well written and well drawn, with a quality that increases with time. You can see the starting page [http://darkencomic.com/?webcomic_post=20031216 here]. It is now finished.
 
The artist has started another webcomic called [[Widdershins (Webcomic)|Widdershins]]
----
=== This webcomic contains examples of: ===
Line 38:
* [[Devil in Plain Sight]]: Aside from the paladins and their allies most people in Darken don't seem to mind or avoid the [[Villain Protagonist|Villain Protagonists]] in any way. Most noticeable in Falloakes, where a Wizardess scans Komi, Michaelus, Casper, and Gort for magic before a race, and the evil magic radiating off Gort is nearly enough to blind her; his only consequence is being barred from participating in the race.
* [[Did You Just Scam Cthulhu?]]: {{spoiler|After defeating Baal, Gort and Komi turn against Meph and as a direct consequence become ruler of the seventh hell and his disciple respectively.}}
* [[Dressing Asas the Enemy]]: Gort, disguised as the Captain of the Guard (his [[Evil Twin|Good Twin]]).
* [[Drop the Hammer]]: Mink. "It's so ecclesiastical! And smitey!"
* [[Dungeon Bypass]]: As mentioned before, most of the crew are smart enough just to climb over the walls in a moving maze puzzle, and in the case of Mink, fly over and give directions.
Line 44:
* [[Epic Flail]]: Mink - in a rare but truly [[Epic Fail]] moment. "Uhm... you can use swords, right?"
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]
* [[Everything's Worse Withwith Bears]]: Michaelus the werebear.
* [[Evil Feels Good]]
* [[Eviler Than Thou]]
Line 63:
* [[Indy Ploy]]: Casper is fond of them.
* [[Irony]]: In a party composed primarily of poster children for evil and treachery, it's the [[Token Evil Teammate|token good teammate]] who sells them out.
* [[Kill It Withwith Fire]]: Gort loves to do this.
* [[Loveable Rogue]]: [[Draco in Leather Pants|Despite being evil]], both Komi and Casper seem to fall into this. Interestingly, [[Black Widow|Jill]] does not.
* [[Mind Control]]: Zathras's specialty seems to be enchantment spells. He dominated a '''construct''' for crying out loud.
Line 93:
* [[Talking Weapon]]: Blackshard.
* [[The Dark Side]]
* [[The Napoleon]]: Don't remind Gort that he's short. That said, [[Lampshade Hanging|Gort himself hangs a lampshade on it]] during the [[Dressing Asas the Enemy]] scene:
{{quote| '''Casper:''' (trying to squeeze into armor far too small for him) ''How do these guys fit into these things??''<br />
'''Gort:''' (wearing obviously oversized armor) ''I shall allow you to trade with me, Casper.'' }}
