* R.H.Jr's 'Goblin Hollow' had the hell retconned out of it. It was once known as 'Under the Lemon Tree' and the Goblins were originally figments of Ben's imagination made real. It received a retcon changing the setting, and quite a few facts from the original, including how the goblins came to be.
* Parodied in an oddly confusing fashion by ''[[Evil, Inc.]]''. [https://web.archive.org/web/20121101114702/http://www.evil-comic.com/archive/20080112.html See the strip here.]
* Nikki in ''[[The KAMics]]'' was [https://web.archive.org/web/20121018152934/http://www.drunkduck.com/The_KAMics/4771284/ told by the author that she was a fictional character without a name], was [https://web.archive.org/web/20121018152918/http://www.drunkduck.com/The_KAMics/4771292/ later named by a reader], then it was retconned that she was [https://web.archive.org/web/20121018152925/http://www.drunkduck.com/The_KAMics/4811123/ a sister to the ex-Valkyries Gertrude & Brunhilda & her name had always been Nikki & she didn't realize this because of amnesia].
* ''[[Erfworld]]'' eventually had to retcon a special ability given to one of the characters in its series. Funnily enough, it actually managed to successfully [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade]] this through the ironically-recursive introduction of a school of magic known as ''retconjuration''. (In an even more delicious twist of irony, this school retroactively replaced a school called Deletionism, which was, well... deleted.)
* ''[[Drowtales]]'' went through this once. Now the first episode has been redone the second time. While the new pages are [[Art Evolution|much better quality-wise]], and some of the plot make a lot more sense, many elements were removed, characters have been changed, and episodes were cut down to mere sketches of their former selves. Not to mention the mysteries the reader was left in the dark about for most of the original stories were also revealed retroactively, taking away the suspense that provided most of the enjoyment. The series also became [[Lighter and Softer]], and considering the world setting, that's not necessarily a good thing.
