* OurElvesAreDifferent and OurOrcsAreDifferent; Spider’s people, the Norrish, are blue skinned with pointed ears and live in the cold North. What we get from them implied they were once a proud civilisation on the last vestiges of its strength which preaches the destruction of everybody else. While they appear to share the orcs' ProudWarriorRace status, they, in contrast to traditional depictions, don’t appear to be affiliated with the Big Bad.

Briar is Creator/BoomStudios' comic series based on Sleeping Beauty. Princess Briar Rose wakes up after 100 years of enchanted sleep to find her once beautiful land turned into wasteland ruled by her godmother Grendrid.

Written by Christopher Cantwell, the first issue was released on September 29, 2022 as part of a four issue miniseries before being promoted to ongoing.

!! Tropes in this series include:

* ActionGirl: Downplayed. Spider is able to hold her own against opponents. She admits, however, that she mostly knows only the basics of sword fighting.

* BadPowersGoodPeople: Roop has shown an affinity for necromancy, even successfully resurrecting Captain Bly. Nonetheless, he is a quiet and kind person.

* BigBad: Grendrid, one of Briar’s Fairy Godmothers, who cursed her to sleep and now rules the wasteland that the land has turned into.

* DescriptionCut: When they are about to met gnomes, Briar remembers childhood stories about gnomes being cute Friends To All Living Things <- no comma before running into two deformed gnomes who swear like there is no tomorrow.

* PrinceCharmless: Prince Rodion was a hero who was supposed to wake Briar up and for them join her in ruling both their kingdoms. Unfortunately, <- comma Rodion was much more into the idea of marrying Briar without waking her up and becoming a conqueror with her father.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Grendrid may have cursed Briar to eternal sleep so she could manipulate her father and Rodion into conquering land for her. She is, however shown to still hold a slight affection for her, claiming to have chosen sleep as a mercy and intending to simply force Briar back into sleep.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Spider is foul-mouthed and aggressive, constantly snarking to her companions. However, when push comes to shove, she is shown to care about them and has a far stronger moral compass than she lets on.

* OurElvesAreDifferent and OurOrcsAreDifferent; Spider’s people, the Norrish, are blue skinned with pointed ears and live in the cold North. What we get from them implied they were once a proud civilisation on the last vestiges of its strength which preaches the destruction of everybody else. While they appear to share the orcs' ProudWarriorRace status, they, in contrast to traditional depictions, don’t appear to be affiliated with the Big Bad.

* OurGnomesAreWeirder: In Briar’s time, they used to be friendly and happy folks. In the present, they are rude, deformed and violent.

* PiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Despite their name, Bog Witches don’t appear to practice any actual magic. When Roop tries to resurrect his pet toad, he is beaten as the punishment.

* RefugeeFromTime: Briar and Captain Bly are from a time when the world resembled a classical FairyTale or HeroicFantasy, in contrast to its DarkFantasy present.
