A webcomic written and drawn by Matt Speroni of ''[[How I Killed Your Master]]'' fame, ''[['''The Dreadful]]''''' is a fantasy story in a [[Wild West]] setting. It stars Kit, a cute demon ("Devikin") [[The Gunslinger|gunslinger]] who wields the eponymous weapon, a [[Hand Cannon|magical]] [[Wave Motion Gun|pistol]]. It also has a fairly strong supporting cast, that is becoming more developed as the comic goes on. These include Boozloaf, a [[A Load of Bull|minotaur]] preacher; Erin, a [[Winged Humanoid|winged]] [[Cold Sniper|sniper]]; and Liz, a sharpshooter who once ran with the same gang Kit did.
 
The story begins with our heroine shot in the back and left to bleed out in an alley. Someone called Judge Catherine finds her lying there and whisks her away. She recovers after two days in the hospital and is taken to meet with a detective agency. They task her to hunt down and kill the leader of her old gang, Jeanne Noelle. Given that Jeanne was more than likely the one who ordered her shot, Kit has no problem with this. But the job may not be as simple as it first appears...

* [[Painting the Fourth Wall]]: After {{spoiler|Ith revives Erin}} and they start [[Sharing a Body]], {{spoiler|Erin}}'s speech is in the standard font for the comic, while {{spoiler|Ith}}'s is in a more "jagged" font.
