History Webcomic / Godslave

''[[http://www.godslavecomic.com Godslave]]'' is an UrbanFantasy webcomic about modern-day EgyptianMythology.

* {{Masquerade}}: It seems to be enforced either by magic or money - the police is seen waiting outside the museum until the fight between Edith and Turner finishes before entering. [[spoiler:It's neither this nor that - one of Heru's supporters is the mayor, a position he was put in specifically for such situations.]]

* BigScrewedUpFamily: How Anpu characterizes his pantheon, and Sobek seems to agree.

* DramaticThunder: A lightning strikes just as Anpu's prison breaks. [[spoiler:His second ba creates a storm and teleports Edith using a bolt of lightning.]]

** Before Anpu is introduces, focus is briefly put on an Anubis mural in the museum.

* IncrediblyObviousTail: Blacksmiths are ''really'' unsubtle about following people. From pack behaviour and outright confrontation to really obvious cars and mugging your stuff, they all seem to have skipped Stealth 101.

** It's heavily suggested that Anpu is, in fact, Set pretending to be his kin -- namely, the red glow of his magic, his ambiguous shape resembling a fennec fox, the fact that his tail is often two-pronged[[note]]a characteristic of Set's Animal[[/note]], Heru's animosity towards him, the title of the first chapter being "An Evil Day", the very first panel showing a carving of Set fighting Apep, and of course the image of Set's Animal that adorns the comic's banner. [[spoiler:Given one of the blacksmiths refers to him as a storm god and his second ba creates a storm and teleports Edith using a bolt of lightning, it's official.]]

* MasqueradingAsTheUnseen: Despite his claims to be [[spoiler:"Anpu", Bun-Dog is actually Set, god of storms and chaos]]. It's not revealed in-universe just yet, but rest assured, the {{foreshadowing}} is strong with this one.

--->'''The man''': Don't try to stop me! *runs off to [[MuggingTheMonster confront Edith]]*\\
'''The girl''' (flat monotone): Oh no. Don't.

--->'''Chen''': Tch-what's this blade made of?\\
'''Edith''': Bitch deterrent.\\
'''Chen''': ''Cute''.

* TheMirrorShowsYourTrueSelf: Even in his human form, Sobek's reflection is his deity form.

* EvilIsPetty: After she regains the second ba, the Blacksmiths start to steal Edith's stuff and make her fight them over it. Once they take her mobile phone and change the password to her Instagram account before Edith manages to get it back.

* EyesDoNotBelongThere: Turner has another eye on his neck, albeit its function seems to be communicating with Heru rather than seeing.

** Before Anpu is introduces, focus is briefly put on Anubis mural in the museum.

* GroinAttack: When Turner tries to take Anpu from Edith, she - conveniently on the floor at the moment - kicks him where it hurts. His expression says it all, really.

* BlondGuysAreEvil: The first Blacksmith is a blonde and tries to murder Edith.

* JustHereForGodzilla: In-universe; as the museum custodian is explaining Egyptian funeral rites, one of the kids can be seen murmuring "where are the mummies?"

* DramaticThunder: A lightning strikes just as Anpu's prison breaks.

* EternalRecurrence: The universe's existence depends on the gods dying and being reborn every so often, the process which Anpu is supposed to be in charge of. His problems started when the other gods refused to take part in it any longer.

** It's heavily suggested that Anpu is, in fact, Set pretending to be his kin - namely, the red glow of his magic, ambiguous shape of the supposed fennec, the fact that his tail is often two-pronged[[note]]a characteristic of Set's Animal[[/note]], Heru's animosity towards him, the title of the first chapter being "An Evil Day", the very first panel showing a carving of Set fighting Apep, and of course the image of Set's Animal that adorns the comic's banner. [[spoiler:Given one of the blacksmiths refers to him as a storm god, it's official.]]

* MuggingTheMonster: The younger Blacksmith goes after Edith. The consensus both in and out of universe is that she's not going to have much problem taking him down.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Sobek. A short conversation with Anpu convinces him that the fennec is not going to help her properly, so he sets up an account for her, with promise of sending money to help her out, and tells her to come to him whenever she needs something.

** The same happens to Edith whenever she uses her powers extensively.

* {{Schadenfreude}}: In-universe, the girl Blacksmith is just waiting to see Edith wipe the pavement with her overeager colleague.

* ViewersAreGeniuses: Most people know that Set is GodOfEvil, and some may recall that before his {{Flanderization}} into chaos personified, he was Ra's trusted lieutenant. But how many readers would know that [[spoiler:he's also a god of ''storms'', which is how the Blacksmiths refer to "Anpu"?]]

* WhatAnIdiot: [[invoked]] The girl Blacksmith says this word by word when talking about Turner. Her co-worker clearly agrees, noting that the "errand boy" was sent only because the jar was supposed to be super-strong.

* {{Masquerade}}: It seems to be enforced either by magic or money - the police is seen waiting outside the museum until the fight between Edith and Turner finishes before entering.

* BigScrewedUpFamily: How Anpu characterizes his pantheon:
-->There is one thing you should know about my family. ({{beat}}) They're all awful.

** Her coworker is no worse.
--->'''The man''': Tch-what's this blade made of?\\

'''The man''': ''Cute''.

* BladeBelowTheShoulder: The second Blacksmith Edith fights uses his powers to fight her blade-to-blade.

** The girl Blacksmith when her colleague is concerned.

* LeeroyJenkins: The male Blacksmith has all the markings of one. He loudly complains about his assignment being just about observation and in the end gets out of the car, deciding to go against the plan and get Edith himself.

* MedievalMorons: Defied. Edith tries to explain to Anpu what make-up and mirrors are, only for him to point out in annoyance that yes, they used both in Ancient Egypt.

** Her war face when she goes {{Kiai}} at Turner.

* PerpetualFrowner: The man Blacksmith who follows Edith seems to have learnt to express only several different frowns.

* RammingAlwaysWorks: Subverted - Edith opes her fight with second Blacksmith by ramming a giant garbage container into him, but the Blacksmith having SuperStrength, he shoves it aside with little problem.

** It's heavily suggested that Anpu is, in fact, Set pretending to be his kin - namely, the red glow of his magic, ambiguous shape of the supposed fennec, the fact that his tail is often two-pronged[[note]]a characteristic of Set's Animal[[/note]], Heru's animosity towards him, the title of the first chapter being "An Evil Day", and of course the image of Set's Animal that adorns the comic's banner. [[spoiler:Given one of the blacksmiths refers to him as a storm god, it's official.]]

* IShallTauntYou: When Turner attacks her with handblade again, Edith mockingly calls him one-trick pony. He promptly changes the technique.

* MedievalMorons: Defied. Edith tries to explain Anpu what make-up and mirrors are, only for him to point out in annoyance that yes, they used both in Ancient Egypt.

[[spoiler:Given one of the blacksmiths refers to him as a storm god, it's official.]]

* OhCrap: Edith when she realizes that the canopic jar she has just saved is about to break after all.

* VerbThat: Suit Guy gives Edith "heal from that!" [[spoiler:after taking her down]].

* IdentityImpersonator: Despite his claims to be [[spoiler:"Anpu", Bun-Dog is actually Set, god of storms and chaos]]. It's not revealed in-universe just yet, but rest assured, the {{foreshadowing}} is strong with this one.

It's holidays and Edith doesn't feel like doing anything in particular. On her friend and flatmate's insistence, however, she decides to take a trip to the local history museum and is somewhat enjoying herself when she collides with a strange man carrying a canopic jar. Crushing in Edith's hands, the jar reveals to have a fennec fox inside. Oddly enough, given it's place of being, the fennec is alive, and the strange man is ''very'' unhappy with the fact that it has been freed.
