''[[The Abaddon]]'' is a webcomic by Koren Shadmi. It tells the story of Ter, a young man trying to escape apartment 262, a place in which, for unknown reasons, destiny has put together a bunch of weird people who don't get along. As such, it is strongly reminiscent of Sartre's ''[[No Exit]]''.
It can be read [http://abaddoncomic.com/ here].
{{tropelist}}
* [[The Alcoholic]]: Vic
* [[Animal Motifs]]: Flies. Ter notices a picture of one printed on the back pocket of Bet's pants. It comes up again as a stamping on a piece of chocolate stuck in the fur of Shel's cat. Given that they only had Ectobeer, coffee and milk in the apartment, Ter (incorrectly) interpreted it as a sign that there was a way out. Perhaps to drive home the point that they are all dead and/or in hell.
Line 11 ⟶ 10:
* [[Bloody Bowels of Hell]]: Deviating a bit from the series' symbolic depiction of Hell (if it is indeed Hell), the otherwise ([[Sapient House|mostly]]) normal looking apartment has a blood-colored muck or gel of some sort running through its pipes instead of water. Nor uses it to make the sculptures Shel often rejects. Then he decides to make [[Even the Girls Want Her|a life-sized sex doll of Bet]] out of it as a gift for her. Shel promptly [[Squick|goes down on it.]]
* [[Combat Medic]]: What Ter served as in the Marines; perhaps making his {{spoiler|[[Friend or Foe]]}} incident doubly painful.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]] [[Badass in
** He's later able to manhandle {{spoiler|the ghost of his fellow Marine that showed him a [[Fatal Family Photo]]}} and toss the guy into [[Man On Fire|a fireplace]]. Granted, this [[Infernal Retaliation|barely fazes the guy]], but still.
* [[Dead to Begin With]] : It seems to be the case for the protagonists, or at least for Ter.
Line 24 ⟶ 23:
* [[Lady in Red]]: A variation in Bet, who wears a red tube top, tight shorts, and flats.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Bet will come off as this, especially when compared to [[Dysfunction Junction|the other tenants]], depending on whether or not you think her (often) calm and detached acceptance of their situation is rational.
* [[Pointless Band
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Vic. He initially seems like [[Man Child|the more innocent counterpart of this trope]], with his sensitivity regarding his parties, his overall [[The Idiot From Osaka|immature behavior]], and his [[Property of Love|overly simplistic view]] of his relationship with Bet, but he soon graduates to this when he attempts to torture Ter for sleeping with Bet.
* [[Sapient House]]: Apartment 262 looks to be this, along with the entire apartment building.
* [[Semper Fi]]: Ter "remembers" fighting in the Marines.
* [[Shout-Out]]: The aforementioned Sartre play is (indirectly) mentioned in [https://web.archive.org/web/20140107221129/http://abaddoncomic.com/page-100/ Ral's journal]
* [[Title Drop]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20140107223909/http://abaddoncomic.com/page-60/ in number 60]
* [[Uncoffee]]: Of a sort. There are only two foodstuffs normally present in the apartment, and plain ol' coffee is one of them. The other is Ectobeer, and [[A Tankard of Moose Urine|what it stands in for]] is pretty self-explanatory. They get some milk at times, though, but it's mostly hoarded by Bet, who uses it to put Vic to sleep [[Can't Hold His Liquor|when he gets too rowdy]], which makes it [[G-Rated Drug|something else entirely]].
* [[Wham! Line]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20140107211021/http://abaddoncomic.com/page-105/ "I'll miss you too, Ral."]
