is a Horror Webcomic created by Stainedge. It follows the story of a friendly Louisiana farmer that gets captured and killed by a mysterious cult. But then he gets brought back from the dead and starts a serial-slashing business under the name Tomb, to hunt down the man that killed him. Along the way, he befriends an escaped mental patient named Jacko, who offers to work for his business as they vanquish the many serial killers in their estranged state.Notice: This comic is aimed for mature audiences, so be prepared for violent scenes and a few sexual themes.
Tropes:
- All Part of the Show: Tisler the clown kidnaps his victims to help perform his fire performances, as he burns them alive in front of his audience, letting them believe his performances are all acts.
- Black Blood: The blood is colored dark blue for it's gory scenes. It also uses the color for internal flesh, like tounges and guts.
- Brown Bag Mask: When Charlie goes in his "Tomb" persona, he wears a potato sack crafted with eyeholes over his head.
- Deliberately Monochrome: The comic is illustrated in black and white for the majority of the comic but colors the blood and mouths in dark blue. And sometimes uses red to illustrate violent scenes. The comic briefly uses pink to color a baby's shoe.
- Early-Bird Cameo: Jacko has actually been stalking Charlie during his kills. When Tomb sets Tisler on fire, Jacko's eyes can be seen behind the bars in the background. He was also hiding in the dark when Tomb confronted Fig at the register and when he drove out when the gas station exploded, the flocks of Jacko's hair can be seen poking out the trunk of Tomb's truck.
- Establishing Character Moment: The comic first introduces Charlie advertising his serial slashing buisness under his Tomb persona and explaining the main premise of the comic.
- I Love the Dead: Marley Dugas is revealed to be in a loving relationship with the rotting skeleton of his dead wife. He seems to hallucinate that his wife is still alive and loving his carnage. He even licks her bony figure, much to the disgust of Jacko.Jacko:
Eugh, corpse fucker... - Kill It with Fire: Tisler the Monster Clown performs his kills by shooting his victims with gasoline darts and then hits them with a flaming dart that incinerates them in a big flame. He would eventually suffer this fate too when Tomb performs his own stunt on him.
- Knife-Throwing Act: For Tisler's fire shows, he mounts his victims on a big target. He then shoots them with darts, that open a capsule that splashes gasoline on his victims. He finishes the act with one last flaming dart, that sets their whole bodies on fire.
- Perpetual Smiler: For the majority of scenes, Jacko always has a big smile on his face. Even when he gets nervous, angered, shocked, or disgusted, his face will still make a grin. There are a few times when he somewhat stopped smiling. There is "Roadway Macabre", when Marley shoots Charlie in the face, presumably killing him. That angered Jacko to the point where his smile was obscured by a big shadow covering his face, with only his bloodshot eyes visible as he strangles Marley. And in "Slaughter's Market", when Jacko encourages Charlie to show him how to two-step by giving him a goofy grin, with his teeth for once closed.
- Pseudo-Romantic Friendship: Tomb and Jacko have this form of relationship. While they’re not actually couple, they are work partners, and care for each other in their times of need.
Word of God revealed that they’re actually soulmates. - The Un-Reveal: The identity of Him, the masked serial killer that’s been kidnapping women remains a mystery. When the police came to investigate and found his corpse, Him's face was too mangled to be recognized after the serial slashers tortured him, so it seems likely his face will remain a mystery.
- "What X Would Want" Backfire: When Marley suddenly blasts Charlie's arm off and threatens them to hand over their money. When Jacko tosses his wallet, he complains what his wife would say about his doings, which Marley answers that she'd be happy for what he's doing, as she would love the money to fund their retirement, and reveals that they've been on a killing spree with him for years and never got caught. As he presents said wife, Jacko would find out that she's already a rotting skeleton.
- Would Hurt a Child: When invading Him’s building, Tomb and Jacko come across the set where he tortures his victims. Jacko finds a small pink shoe with cute decorations stained with blood, implying that Him previously killed a baby girl previously.
