''HellBound'' was a [[Dead Baby Comedy]] by Maniac_wolfman, currently stalled in its last chapter, and is on what looks to be a permanent [[Series Hiatus]]. The plot centers around Guy, an [[The Chew Toy|incredibly unlucky]] college kid who loses his soul within minutes of starting a new job, as he tries to retrieve an [[MacGuffin|ancient sacred relic]] in the hopes of getting his soul back. Along the way, he is accompanied by the violent demon Mel, her airheaded sister Kyota, and an idiotic thief named Baxter. Honestly, he probably gets more help from the sheer incompetence of the forces of good that are arrayed against them. |

The entire original purpose of this entry was just to highlight the funny of strip #118, though it's best if you've read the preceding strips first. It [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] the [[Punch Clock Villain]] and [[Faceless Goons]] tropes, [[Playing with a Trope|plays with]] [[Let Me Get This Straight...]], and then [[Crosses the Line Twice]]. ''Awesome''. |
