History DarkIsNotEvil / Webcomics

* The [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20140617.html Treasure Monster]] in ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'' is probably the creepiest-looking thing in the whole comic, but all it really wants is to serve people. It's just [[MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds really, really bad at it.]]

* Hell in ''Webcomic/WhiteDarkLife'' is a CelestialBureaucracy that purifies sinners through [[PunchClockVillain doling out punishments]] as if the whole thing was a business rather than a component of evil. This is exemplified by the Demon Lords who are far more quirky than malicious and include [[LovableSexManiac Artemis]] and [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Eloria]].

* ''FanFic/ChessPiece'' has King Vlad, who uses Dark magic and looks like a [[NobleDemon demon]]. He's actually a really nice person unless you [[PapaWolf threaten his son]]. On the other hand, his son's [[EvilPrince quite]] [[VillainProtagonist the]] [[LightIsNotGood opposite]].

* ''SilentHill's'' Alessa Gillespie is either ChaoticGood or ChaoticNeutral, depending on whether you assume that her motivations are to prevent the [[spoiler: birth of some sort of demon goddess and protect the world]], or just to [[spoiler: end her own suffering]], but either way, she is ''absolutely freaking terrifying'' and she is preventing the end of the world.

** Parodied with Tsukiko, the [[ILoveTheDead necrophiliac]] PerkyFemaleMinion of [[BigBad Xykon]]. She thinks that because death is the antithesis of life and the Living are Jerkasses who are "prejudiced" against her for her [[NightmareFetishist "Beliefs"]], the undead are therefore kind and caring creatures misunderstood by others and that Xykon will eventually grow to love her. The Monster in the Dark tries to tell her that it doesn't work that way.

* The [[http://exterminatusnow.comicgenesis.com/d/20080607.html Watcher of Mort]] (God of Death) in ''ExterminatusNow'' look like empty tattered floating black robes with streams of ash running out of the openings. However, their holy mission is to protect hallowed grounds and the corpses resting therein from graverobbers and occult defilement. They hate necromancers who turn corpses into zombies. But they [[http://exterminatusnow.comicgenesis.com/ caution any passing "hero" not to harm the poor zombies further]], as they are mere "victims, innocent puppets", who must be returned to their rightful resting places.

** One important event in Act 5 involves a battle between a hero of Hope and a hero of Doom. The hero of Hope was a genocidal maniac and the hero of Doom was a good guy, [[KnightInSourArmour albeit an occasionally moody one.]]

** An important event early in 2011 involved a battle between a hero of Hope and a hero of Doom. The hero of Hope was a genocidal maniac and the hero of Doom was a good guy, [[KnightInSourArmour albeit an occasionally moody one.]]

* In ''Webcomic/AutumnBay'', Ghoul wears black t-shirts with skulls and such on them, has multiple piercings, and wears his hair in [[TheMisfits a devilock]], but nonetheless [[http://autumnbaycomics.com/comics/15 urges Stephen, Adam, and Callie to be careful and tells the a safe place to go if they run into trouble]].

* Sterk of ''Webcomic/VeganArtbook'' is supposed to be this, but his tendency to [[DisproportionateRetribution murder those who disagree with him]] usually make readers see him as [[DarkIsEvil the opposite]] instead.

* In ''Webcomic/NightTerror'', it's more along the lines of "Dark is Not Unredeemable", as the main focus of the game is defeating the evil Phobias, after which they undergo a HeelFaceTurn and become regular Dreamscapers. In fact, much of the cast is actually made up of reformed Phobias.

* [[ParanormalMysterySquad The Paranormal Mystery Squad]] consists of a {{Goth}}, [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Werewolf]], [[CuteWitch Wiccan]] and {{Dhampyr}} and they have a bat as the TeamPet.

* In ''{{Shadowgirls}}'', not only do the protagonists have some kind of darkness-based powers, but the recently revealed, rather joyfully sadistic protagonist has [[LightIsNotGood light-based powers]].

* ''Webcomic/BloodStain'' has Dr. Vlad Stein, whose scratchy voice, [[MeaningfulName bloodstained clothes]], sleepwalking and tendency to make extremely easily-misunderstood statements terrify Elly upon first meeting. He has, of course, no intentions whatsoever of harming her, and is in fact ''sick to death'' of being mistaken for a mad scientist or an axe murderer.

* ''PlanesOfEldlor'' has a dark elf who is far more apathetic than evil. Also, the sinister-looking riftwalker dragons, which are all black with glowing violet eyes and blood, but do not appear to be evil.

* Secret of ''KeychainOfCreation'' is an Abyssal, who are supposed to be AlwaysChaoticEvil. She's manipulated things enough so that she only kills people who deserve it. (Or at least, people she feels deserve it.) Then again, [[ShrinkingViolet Secret is]] [[TheWoobie an odd]] [[DefectorFromDecadence case.]]

* OffWhite: Hati, the [[http://off-white.eu/comic/page-192 demonic]] [[http://off-white.eu/comic/page-193 looking]] dark wolf spirit, is tying to buy time for a dying world. His angelic brother wants the world to die.
* In ''DragonMango'', [[http://dragon-mango.com/comic/chapter04/dm04-26.htm despite Mango's horrified reaction, Pumpkin doesn't think the shadow beast looks like a bad little guy, and asking whether it's scared or needs help does get it to respond.]]
* Played with in ''SlightlyDamned''. The Demons ''do'' have some evil tendencies, but are neither necessarily nor wholly evil - the most prominent Demon in the series is Buwaro, who is an absolute sweetheart, and even Lazuli, who is definitely evil, seems to have genuinely cared about her partner and is pursuing the heroes partly out of revenge for his death.

* BloodStain has Dr. Vlad Stein, whose scratchy voice, [[MeaningfulName bloodstained clothes]], sleepwalking and tendency to make extremely easily-misunderstood statements terrify Elly upon first meeting. He has, of course, no intentions whatsoever of harming her, and is in fact ''sick to death'' of being mistaken for a mad scientist or an axe murderer.

* This is pretty much the entire point of ''{{Goblins}}: Life Through Their Eyes''.

* In ''{{Erfworld}}'', Vinny Doombats has the appearance and bat-themed trappings of a classic {{Dracula}}-style vampire. He's also the loyal right-hand man to the [[GoodColorsEvilColors color-coded "good" side]] leader, and acts on straightforward "good" motivations (friendship to the aforementioned leader and recognition that the enemy is a dangerous aggressor).

* [[spoiler:Rilian]] the necromancer in ''DominicDeegan'' masquerades as a jolly guy called Brian in the Around the World arc. After he reveals his true identity, one of his associates remarks that he was not deceiving Dominic: The masquerade was a rare opportunity to let loose and be himself for a change. The personality, the philosophy and even the body was all him, the only fake thing was the name, and even that was just the modern equivalent of his real name.

* ''FriendlyHostility'' has a demon and an EldritchAbomination as friends to the protagonists.

* Picture if you will a comic in which a [[BloodFromTheMouth mysterious sickly]] eccentric and his [[OurZombiesAreDifferent undead henchman]] kill someone and resurrect him without his consent, turning him into a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent predatory monster]]. ...And they're the ''protagonists''. This, my friends, is the beginning to HannaIsNotABoysName.

* Sam only wears black, including a spiked collar, and dark makeup. She's one of ''Webcomic/{{Tripp}}'''s best friends.

* Liz from ''{{Blip}}'' is a vampire, wears black all the time, has short, [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue hair]], drinks blood (animal, not human), and is really nice once you get to know her. Sure, she ''used'' to be evil, but [[HeelFaceTurn not anymore.]]

* Showcased in [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=283 this]] ''SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal'', along with LightIsNotGood.
* In ''{{Achewood}},'' when Philippe falls asleep in the garbage dump where he went to find a missing couch, he's carried off by two horrifically disfigured men. They are later revealed to be Zell and Cory, two drifters who got their disfigurements in a flophouse fire, and were just taking him to their home so he'd have a safe place to stay.
* In ''{{Halflight}}'' one of the main cast is mistaken for being evil for being dark in [[http://halflightcomics.com/http:/halflightcomics.com/comic/chapter-1-page-15-2 this strip]].

* [[ParanormalMysterySquad The Paranormal Mystery Squad]] consists of a {{Goth}}, [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Werewolf]], [[CuteWitch Wiccan]] and {{Dhampyr}} and they have a bat as the TeamPet

** There's also Zimmy. She looks like a StringyHairedGhostGirl, and acts like an obnoxious jerk to almost everyone. What's more, she has uncontrollable [[RealityWarper reality warping]] powers that create a hellish city populated by faceless monsters. Despite all this, she's not explicitly a ''bad'' person, wanting to be left alone more than anything.

* Curio from ''[[{{Webcomic/morphe}} morphE]]'' is a Moros mage who controls shadows and the ability to perform "Death" magic. He is a 15 year old timid wallflower and in no way represents the traits of his abilities.
