History Horrible / Webcomics

* '''''[[https://warmage.comicgenesis.com/ WarMage]]''''' [[OrphanedSeries (on hiatus since 2009)]] is an UsefulNotes/MSPaint-spawned harem porn monstrosity covered in a hash of superhero ([[InactionSequence in]])action, TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture cyberpunk, and whatever Wicca and Hindu mysticism the author feels like tossing in. The antagonists tend to be assorted flavors of Judeo-Christian fundamentalists because, apparently, monotheism equals evil. The webcomic is already bad on its own, but the author decided to [[RecycledPremise clone]] it for different genres - '''''[[https://monsterlover.comicgenesis.com/ Monster Lover]]''''' (a mishmash of RPGElements) and '''''[[https://madgoblin.comicgenesis.com/ A Call to Destiny]]''''' (a mishmash of RPG elements ''[[JustForFun/RecycledInSPACE in space!]]''). The creator's fourth comic breaks the pattern but is otherwise just as bad: '''''[[https://shadowroot.comicgenesis.com/ Shadow Root]]''''', which is basically ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey'' meets UrbanFantasy. WebVideo/TheWebcomicRelief took a belated look at ''[=WarMage=]'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1hsjSiKjpk here]].

# To ensure that the work is judged with a clear mind and the hatred isn't just a knee-jerk reaction, as well as to allow opinions to properly form and give the artist a chance to improve, '''[[Administrivia/NoRecentExamplesPlease examples should not be added until at least one month after release]]'''.

* '''''[[https://web.archive.org/web/20100820150601/http://dir.salon.com/topics/kansas_oflaherty/ Kansas O'Flaherty, Secret Agent]]''''' was a weekly strip for four months on [=Salon.com=]. Every episode was greeted by a string of reader comments complaining about pretentious cultural references, bad artwork, inconsistent lettering, [[RougeAnglesOfSatin occasional misspelled words]], non-sequiturs, and a [[RandomEventsPlot general lack of a coherent plot]]. The strip's few defenders generally explained it as [[TrollFic an experiment in anti-humor designed to provoke strong reactions from readers]].

* '''''[[https://thedailywtf.com/series/Mandatory_Fun_Day.aspx Mandatory Fun Day]]''''' was a comic run on'' Website/TheDailyWTF'' for several weeks. Season 1 featured poor artwork, cut-and-paste characters, anemic writing, and humor so thin you could see through it; it was even colored in an eye-searing UsefulNotes/MSPaint style. The only humor to be found was usually the re-edited strips found in the comments. After some time, the comic's author started acknowledging the best-edited versions of the previous comic in each post, which makes you question his attitude toward the whole thing. Season 2 redeemed it somewhat, but the general distaste and endless mockery toward the comic led to it being removed.

* '''''Chaos Diamonds 3''''' started as a rather mediocre ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' FanFiction before becoming a webcomic. Once that happened, the author started to shamelessly shoehorn his overpowered OriginalCharacter into the ''Sonic'' universe as Tails' SuperPoweredEvilSide (despite said character not even really being linked to the ''Sonic'' universe). Besides {{Squick}}y content such as 20-year-old Rouge seducing a 13-year-old Tails, the writing mistakes {{Wangst}} for depth and meaning and the fight scenes rather shamelessly rip off ''Manga/DragonBall'' without Creator/AkiraToriyama's clarity or sense of flow.

* '''''Webcomic/HowIBecameYours''''' is an ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' {{Fan Webcomic|s}} that has gone down in history as the ATLA fandom's answer to ''Fanfic/MyImmortal''. Much like the latter fic, it's [[RougeAnglesOfSatin full of typos]] and has an author who CantTakeCriticism. The story reads like the kind of [[MostFanFicWritersAreGirls stereotypical estrogen-soaked schlock]] you'd find in a bad RomanceNovel, SoapOpera, or LifetimeMovieOfTheWeek. Its goal is to set up the [[FanPreferredCouple non-canon pairing]] of Zuko and Katara, happily [[CharacterDerailment derailing every character]][[invoked]] to get there and portraying Mai as a [[RonTheDeathEater vile, possessive bitch]] to give Katara the excuse to [[DieForOurShip violently murder her]]. Same goes for Suki, who is ignored entirely[[note]]Except for a couple of random characters who are plagarized from her design[[/note]] so that [[MagnificentBitch Azula]] -- the fic's most glaring SelfInsert -- can be shipped with him. The art is clearly traced, mostly from screencaps of the show, but in several places from stock photographs; some poses are [[CutAndPasteComic copy-pasted]], resulting in hideous proportions and lifeless expressions. And as befits a bad RomanceNovel, the architecture and [[CostumePorn flowing ballgowns]] look like something from UsefulNotes/TheRenaissance rather than the show's famous FarEast-[[WorldBuilding inspired]] FantasyCounterpartCulture. ''WebVideo/TheWebcomicRelief'' talks about it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZdgqNr07mU here]].

* '''''Webcomic/NattyComics''''' is an unholy combination of ProtagonistCenteredMorality, DisproportionateRetribution, and {{Straw Character}}s. Nearly every comic follows the same basic pattern: someone does something Natty doesn't like, and Natty (or one of her associates) assaults, maims, or kills the man while he says how much he deserves it. Natty can be [[HairTriggerTemper triggered]] by such things as being a little creepy, being kinda offensive, or liking the wrong football team. It sounds satirical, but [[WordOfGod the creator]] was adamant that it was meant to be serious; and said creator is not, as might be thought, a teenage girl with serious anger issues toward the male gender, but a 30-something grown man. This results in a comic with [[UncertainAudience little appeal to anybody]]; it promotes progressive gender ideals, but does so by portraying the people who uphold those ideals as violent sociopaths. The creator eventually removed it, not from any JerkassRealization, but from a belief in his own audacity.

* '''''Motherfuckin' Mario''''' only lasted six comics (seven if you count the Sonic comic from the same creator), yet it's considered by the few unfortunate souls who have actually read it to be the worst sprite webcomic in history. This could be attributed to the fact that it's one of the most disgusting things you will ever read. The comic is eye-searingly ugly, even by the low standards of sprite comics. Almost everyone is a terminally OutOfCharacter {{Jerkass}}; the one character who isn't (Luigi) is [[ButtMonkey frequently killed and tortured]], [[note]]To give a couple of examples, the first comic starts with Mario [[GroinAttack kicking Luigi in the balls]] for absolutely no reason, while the second one consists entirely of him smashing his head open on a block before Wart shows up and urinates on his corpse.[[/note]] and even ''he'' quickly devolves into an unlikable asshole. The whole experience just isn't funny... unless your idea of funny is Luigi "dating" Birdo and accidentally killing her because he overcharged her shock collar or Lemmy Koopa overdosing on Bowser's erectile dysfunction pills until his penis explodes. There are no punchlines in sight -- just pure, condensed, unfiltered offensiveness. All seven comics have been archived [[https://imgur.com/a/DqrvT here]] -- read them if you dare.

* '''''Webcomic/BillyTheHeretic''''' is about a young boy who gets adopted by a "[[GreedyJew rich international Jewish]]" family. As one might expect, it quickly devolves into the kind of thing you'd find on [[Website/FourChan /pol/]] or Stormfront (fittingly, the webpage links to the latter). Every character is an [[StrawCharacter overblown caricature]], even Billy, whom [[DesignatedHero we're intended to like]] but just comes off as a bigoted, ungrateful, spoiled brat. The author claims it's autobiographical and yet [[BlatantLies insists he's not a Neo-Nazi and doesn't support their ideology]]. The artwork is spectacularly awful -- every character is poorly drawn, and there's no color or [[FeaturelessPlaneOfDisembodiedDialogue backgrounds]], making it exceptionally dull to look at. It's considered one of the single worst webcomics on the Internet; in ''Website/{{Cracked}}''[='s=] [[https://www.cracked.com/article_17607_5-circles-baffling-web-comic-hell.html 5 Circles of Baffling Webcomic Hell]], this one gets a special mention at the bottom of the pit.

* '''''Webcomic/GamerChicks''''' is a webcomic starring Suiren, a hyperactive YaoiFangirl and GamerChick, and Kirei, her snarky [[StraightMan level-headed]] roommate, who discuss video games and have wacky misadventures. Most strips involve Suiren doing three things: ''(1)'' reassuring the viewer that she's "[[GamerChick totally a girl and totally plays video games]]"; ''(2)'' fending off boys who are [[AllMenArePerverts only interested in her "boobies"]]; and ''(3)'' {{shipping}} video game characters [[GuyOnGuyIsHot of the same sex]]. That last one is particularly weird because she obsesses over it to the point of discussing it in casual conversation with complete strangers and shows little respect for or understanding of LGBT dynamics; anyone who brings up how strange this is "[[TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong must be crazy or stupid]]". Outside of that, the plots range from [[https://gamerchicks.comicgenesis.com/d/20070512.html pointless]] to [[https://gamerchicks.comicgenesis.com/d/20061122.html completely pointless]], or else dryly and humorlessly recite [[http://gamerchicks.comicgenesis.com/d/20070114.html ancient jokes]]. The artwork is only slightly better than ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'''s; it's a horrific collision of UsefulNotes/MSPaint, [[FeaturelessPlaneOfDisembodiedDialogue empty white backgrounds]], and figures and faces ripped straight out of a bargain-bin "How to Draw Manga" book. It's also frighteningly OffModel, often leaving it unclear what an object is supposed to be -- most infamously, [[https://gamerchicks.comicgenesis.com/d/20070922.html a crowd of people]] is represented by a single block of CartoonCheese. And it showed little to no improvement in its three-year run, going from [[https://gamerchicks.comicgenesis.com/d/20060228.html this]] to [[https://gamerchicks.comicgenesis.com/d/20090801.html this]].

* '''''Monster Lover''''' (no relation to the comic by Dumok; this one was made by Albert-Aet) is a {{Hentai}} comic about a CuteMonsterGirl, hosted on the Electronic Hentai Organisation. And among their massive archive of more than 300 comics, this was one of the very few that appealed to absolutely nobody, with a half-star out of five. It's easy to see why; its art style makes ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'' look like pure genius, and its storyline (such as it was) was very lame.

* '''''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}''''' is a legendarily poor webcomic dating back to 2004, with an incredibly UncertainAudience beyond the creator. The hand-drawn artwork is inconsistent and poorly drawn, even in its open attempts at UsefulNotes/{{plagiarism}}. Juvenile plots and humor ripped from children's shows are juxtaposed with [[{{Gorn}} gruesome violence]] and frequent ([[FetishRetardant attempts at]]) {{fanservice}}--even graphic sex. The whole cast consists of {{Designated Hero}}es ripped off from ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' and ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', among other franchises. The plot initially revolved around their boring, [[ProtagonistCenteredMorality self-centered]] exploits before becoming increasingly autobiographical. This culminated in a SelfInsert who stole the show and ersatzes of [[WriteWhoYouKnow actual people as villains]] (who all went down at the drop of a hat) and love interests (who fell all over said self-insert for however long they were in the artist's memory). The overall story changed according to the artist's whims to the point of incoherence; it incorporated everything from revenge fantasies to uncomfortable personal details, to casual disdain for anyone besides the artist and acquaintances. It wasn't even well executed technically, as it often relied on [[WallOfText Walls of Text]], which could take up ''multiple pages'' [[ShowDontTell in lieu of depicting events]]. There's been a ''ton'' of analysis of it; [=DStecks=] has [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL66ED16DACB93016E an extensive series of video reviews]], and ''WebVideo/TheWebcomicRelief'' has a [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8DEE79D3045275A0 review series]].

* '''''Webcomic/TheEasyBreather''''' is an AuthorTract against smoking. While a webcomic with an anti-smoking message is not a bad idea per se, the execution is ''really'' weird and off-putting. Amid {{Infodump}}s on the hazards of smoking that read more like a PublicServiceAnnouncement, you have a protagonist who has [[BlowYouAway breath powers]] just because he doesn't smoke and paper-thin villains who [[ForTheEvulz force others to smoke]]. And that's when it ''remembers'' it's an anti-smoking tract; more often than not, all of this is sidelined in favor of the characters getting naked for no reason at all (the author is [[AuthorAppeal apparently a naturist]]). The art is done entirely in Poser with no external assets, dropping it deep into the [[UnintentionalUncannyValley Uncanny Valley]]. In ''Website/{{Cracked}}'''s [[http://www.cracked.com/article_17607_the-5-circles-baffling-web-comic-hell.html 5 Circles of Baffling Webcomic Hell]], this one's #10.

* '''''Moon Over June''''' is an {{NSFW}} SliceOfLife webcomic about two lesbians who live together. They're both incredibly unlikeable and bizarrely militant: Summer is a nurse who [[DoesNotLikeMen hates men so much]] that she resolves to give her newborn up for adoption if it turns out to be male, and Hatsuki is a lesbian pornographer with a strange fixation on Japan-ness, getting into porn because her parents gave her name the wrong Japanese pronunciation (and not getting into ''straight'' porn because it's "too Japanese"). Both [[invoked]][[UnfortunateImplications apparently chose to be lesbians]] and also exhibited some sexist, racist, and [[EvenEvilHasStandards transphobic behavior]]. The comic's ostensibly named after the protagonists' ''daughters'', but we never see much of them; instead, we see a lot of Summer and Hatsuki screwing other women. The art is terrible, with the facial expressions especially deep in the [[UnintentionalUncannyValley Uncanny Valley]]. [[http://womenwriteaboutcomics.com/2016/07/04/april-sex-month-post-moon-june-lot-cis-lesbian-sex/ This article]] summarizes a lot of the problems.
