History DealWithTheDevil / WebComics

* In ''Webcomic/NineteenSeventySevenTheComic'', Bud's girlfriend's mother is a record producer/manager. She offers to sign up the band. when the contracts are signed, she reveals herself in her true form. Admittedly it gets each band member a $50,000 advance cheque. But at the price of Bud's soul.
* Ray Smuckles of ''Webcomic/{{Achewood}}'' gains his musical talent (and, arguably, a heap of his subsequent successes) through [[http://achewood.com/?date=11042002 one of these]], but the consequences don't come about until [[http://achewood.com/?date=12012003 over a year later]].
* A major plot point in ''Webcomic/{{Archipelago}}''. People who make the deal have a raven spirit enter their bodies through their left eye, turning that eye black with a red pupil. Most of the time the raven spirits even honor their part of the deal, since it's not like they have to plan for the future. And they can always [[AndIMustScream Soulseal]] the host if necessary.
* In ''Webcomic/AvasDemon'', the only way to rid oneself of their demon is to form and carry out a pact with them. However, the demon and the living participant both have to keep their end of the bargain or they will become a [[TorturedMonster 'monster of failure']].

* ''Webcomic/CollegeRoomiesFromHell'' has the devil as a main antagonist. There are two student satanists (Steve and Waldo); it is unclear what they "sold" to obtain it, but they gain certain magical powers (or perhaps hallucinations thereof) from the devil. Eventually, [[spoiler:Mike]] makes a deal with the devil to protect his loved ones at the cost of being controlled by the devil for ten minutes at an unspecified later time. Much later, this leads directly to [[spoiler:him cheating on his fiancee to allegedly conceive the antichrist, the disintegration of his entire circle of friends, and his fatal stabbing.]].
** While he's dead, it turns out he's apparently [[GoodIsNotNice Michael the Archangel]]. Oh, great, Mike. Remembering that would have been good before you turned yourself over to the enemy.

* In ''Webcomic/DevilBear'', the band members of Smooch (a parody of Kiss) are [[http://www.thedevilbear.com/?p=32 tricked]] into selling their souls in exchange for being rock stars for life. [[spoiler:They die partying too hard after their first show.]]

* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', [[spoiler:Vaarsuvius tries to get one of these deals to get enough power to save their family. This zigzags wildly -- the fiends claim that they don't ''really'' want V's soul for eternity, but just a proof of concept that the different fiend types can work together, so their deal is for X minutes of damnation each fiend for however long V holds onto that fiend's power. But as they point out, V committing Evil acts while DrunkWithPower is on their soul and is likely to lead to their eternal damnation anyway. But the worst snag is ''when'' the contracted damnation will take place; V assumes it will be immediately after their death and before whatever afterlife their alignment earns, but it's actually whenever the [[JustForPun hell]] the fiends say so, as V learns to their dismay when they try to stop Roy from destroying Girard's Gate.]]

* ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}'': When [[spoiler:Keene]] ends up in hell and is trying to find a way to escape and rescue [[spoiler:Breel]], he realizes too late that he has accidentally made a deal with a devil when the cute demon he is talking to suddenly speaks in a less cute voice and says "THEN THE CONTRACT IS SEALED" after they agree to help each other. The consequences of this have yet to be seen.

-->''Even children in the hinterlands know that more is lost than gained in a deal with devils. But all that remained to her was [[WidowWoman a weeping mother]], a sleeping sister, and her own young life. She believed that [[RockBottom she had nothing left to lose]]. So she went to bargain. [[FromBadToWorse And that was the beginning of all her troubles]].''

* A major plot point in ''Webcomic/{{Archipelago}}''. People who make the deal have a raven spirit enter their bodies through their left eye, turning that eye black with a red pupil. He's normally very good about fulfilling his end of the deal.

* At the start of ''Webcomic/{{Necropolis}}'', after a raid by bandits plunders her village, burning down her house and killing her father, a young girl goes to a magic being called Ibis and makes a deal for a magic sword that will grant her vengeance on the bandits. Afterwards a curious witch tries to see if she can get the girl free of the contract, noting that sometimes imprecise language in these deals allows someone to wriggle out of it, but the young girl made the misfortune of promising Ibis "everything" in exchange for power. The comic narration noted right from the start that this was not going to end well.
