* ''Webcomic/UnijuHolidayTheater'' uses this relatively frequently, although since it's a comedic comic series, DeathIsCheap and most characters usually come back with no explanation.

* In ''Webcomic/NightTerror'', Jasper and Darren both die off-screen between Night Terror 1 and 2. What happened to Jasper is unknown. Darren, however, [[spoiler: made a DealWithTheDevil (or rather, the Boogeyman), freeing him from his addiction but corrupting him into Proditophobia.]] [[spoiler: [[BackFromTheDead Both come back in the end, though]].]]

* Right before the final boss in ''RPGWorld'', the comic cuts to a sideplot sequence, then back to an unrelated sequence in which the hero is eaten by a random monster. It ends with a closeup of two character gravestones, and the caption "Game Over Forever"

Please. She was lying helpless on the floor as Gamzee slowly advanced toward her murderously. That wasn\'t an Offscreen Moment Of Awesome, that was a Gory Discretion Shot.


** Nepeta. It actually looked like she would stand a chance against Sober!Gamzee, only for it to be revealed, months later, that he killed her ''offscreen''. One of the single most popular characters in the series is casually discarded without any fanfare or meaning, not even the trademark [[UnsoundEffect DEAD]] effect. Even ''Equius'' had a more dignified end than this!

* In what was originally the final storyline of ''{{Fans}}'' (they've started making them again) begins as a quest to save the relationship of two recurring TV reporters, which ends when the two of them, as well as LovableTraitor Desmond Jones attempt to AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence. They find out too late that they're actually [[PoweredByAForsakenChild being used to power]] an ArtifactOfDoom, which proceeds to wreak havoc, and then the three are never mentioned again. Granted, the main characters have other things to worry about in the short term, but come on, even Kana gets more of a send-off...

* ''TheLastDaysOfFoxhound'', a ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' parody webcomic. It takes place immediately before the events of the first [=MGS=] game, and the last handful of comics show the lead-up to Shadow Moses. [[http://www.gigaville.com/comic.php?id=498 Comic #498]] has Liquid Snake grinning like a kid in a candy store, exclaiming "It's happening. it's happening.... it's finally happening" just as Solid Snake is about to get his Tactical Espionage Action on. [[http://www.gigaville.com/comic.php?id=499 Comic #499:]] Dead Decoy Octopus disguised as Anderson, dead Baker, dead Psycho Mantis, dead Sniper Wolf, Vulcan Raven eaten by his ravens, broken Metal Gear on top of dead Grey Fox, dead Liquid Snake. It's not called "The Last Days of Foxhound" for nothing, after all. Of course, Liquid got better...

* In ''KevinAndKell'', the fly headmaster of Caliban Academy is killed by a sheet of glass falling from a truck in his second appearance in the comic, enabling Fran Caudal to take on his position.
* Valeska Kohler from ''{{Panthera}}'' goes out this way when Oosterhuis/Ari goes OneWingedAngel on the Panthera crew and [[AGodAmI simply tells her]] to [[http://www.pantheracomic.com/?p=1334 "die"]].
* Gaia from ''DraconiaChronicles''. Unlike the two Tigresses who fell in chapter one, [[DyingMomentOfAwesome who went down fighting]], Gaia's death was abrupt, meaningless (she was clearly a noncombatant) and pathetic. Her death doesn't even get any acknowledgement aside from a small passing remark from Queen Oscura.

Deleting the Gamzee and Rose entries in case that paves the way for most of the other death fakeouts. Because seriously, if we listed all of those, we\'d be here all day.


** Doc Scratch's narration ensures that Rose gets this treatment. (Although she is later revived)

** ''Every'' player loses either their real or
dream self.selves in the story, and most of the time it falls under this. Jake's and most of the troll's were even killed offscreen, the former by CD and the latter by Jack.
