* ''[[The Last Days of Foxhound]]'' [[Doomed by Canon|has]] [[Foregone Conclusion|its]] [[Metal Gear Solid|reasons]] to kill of most of the main cast.

* In the circus arc of ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'', Schlock is getting a little twitchy about his undercover janitor job, and comes up with a [[Cutting the Knot|simple solution]]:

* ''[[Homestuck]]'' became this as of Act 5 Act 2, with it presumably mostly abating with the conclusion of said act. As you'd expect from such a [[Genre Savvy]] work, it's been lampshaded to hell and back both in and out of the comic.

** Let's count the fatalities: Vriska, Equius, Nepeta, Eridan, Feferi, Tavros, Dad, Mom, Bro, The Black Queen and King, Hegemonic Brute, Courtyard Droll, Draconian Dignitary, bazillions of pawns, all the trolls' dreamselves, all the trolls of an offshoot timeline+Jade+John, the Matriorb, White Queen, White King, Aimless Renagade, Snowman, Doc Scratch, ''maybe'' Jane... and if you want to get technical the (almost) entirety of The Felt and the Midnight Crew, not to mention the contents of two whole universes. It's better to count the people who are ALIVE.

** A hilariously stark visual reminder of just how high the body count is ([[Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff|aha, the bodies pile doesn't stop from getting taller]]), complete with lampshading the nebulous state of the survival of some characters was presented [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006189 shortly after the conclusion of Act 6 Act 1]:
