* ImageLinks/CosplayFanArt: Most recently, Atoma's stint at dressing up as Hatsune Miku.

The International [=ComicContinuity=] is an [[AllStarCast ensemble]] of [[EnsembleCast fifteen teenagers]] that have [[Main/SelfDeprecation wasted the]] [[WebcomicsLongRunners majority of their lives]] making [[ShamelessSelfPromoter some of the best]] multiple {{Story Arc}}s [[FanFic detailing]] [[WriteWhoYouKnow the lives]] of their [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname renamed]] [[AuthorAvatar author]] [[DigitalAvatar avatars]] and other created characters [[ShowAccuracyToyAccuracy represented]] by [[SpriteComic colored squares]] which in turn represent characters in [[AlternateUniverseFic another]] [[FanVerse universe]] inspired by a [[Toys/{{Bionicle}} dead toyline about storyline-centric plastic buildible action figures]] placed in outlined boxes and hosted on the [[Website/BZPower largest internet-based forum]] dedicated to said dead toyline of [[Franchise/{{Lego}} children's construction toys]].

It is notably different from other continuities on Website/BZPower because it combined a large amount of pre-existing comic series (ten, originally) and made them co-exist together in one universe while still preserving all of their timeline. Since then, it has grown into a fifteen-member group with nineteen comic series and two multi-author ones.

* AuthorAvatar: As per Website/BZPower tradition, all members have the main characters in their series who bear the authors' username and, to a bit of a lesser extension, the same personality. Although it does sound a bit cliche, the avatars do also carry a lot of their author's faults as well, so it does work.

* SeriousBusiness / StopHavingFunGuys: In response to how disappointingly rampant this attitude is around Website/BZPower, especially its sprite comic community, the ICC practically has it in their mission statement to go out of its way to poke fun at and [[AvertedTrope avert]] this attitude. Of course, the practitioners of said attitude don't really see the humour.

** One of the founding tenets of the ICC was the goal of proving to the Website/BZPower community at large that BIONICLE sprite comics don't universally suck, a common belief among the community of the forum.

* DropTheHammer: The Gr'mahr Hammer, wielded by the Demientity Vor.

* JustForPun: The continuity's very name - it was explicitly named so to allow for the use of the abbreviation International [=ComicCon=]. Several utility accounts on various websites used by the Continuity are even called "[=IntComicCon=]".

* [[PacManFever Pac-Man Fever]]: Averted, as many specific, current-gen games are mentioned and played with, always being depicted on the correct system. This is due to most of the members being avid gamers, and many of the games mentioned are the ones they are spending a lot of time playing with at the moment (time which then distracts from comic work). ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' and ''[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]]'' games usually are at the forefront of this, with ''Videogame/EarthBound'' references starting a small rise, thanks in no part to [[MemeticMutation McGyiyg]].

* ThreeAmigos: Janaro, Atoma and Shadow.
** Also, Chokii, Oneou and Tekatu, although they've been also said to be TooDumbToLive.

* DreamTeam: A more Meta Example, the ICC themselves are made from several of the best active comic artists on [=BZPower=].

* ShoutOut: The comics regularly refer to other media: The Newsroom and [=VakamaTK's Comics=] have several references of ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' and ''Series/CSIMiami'', most of Blade's work includes homages to ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' and ''Franchise/MetalGear'', Tapika's work has a lot of ''Webcomic/MSPaintAdventures'' references and Live, Learn and Lawsuits has a multitude of shout outs ranging from ''Series/HomeImprovement'' and ''Series/TheCosbyShow'' to ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'', and ''Series/IronChef''. Also, ''Taone Nui Offline Game'' is probably pretty much going to be one huge homage to VideoGame/EarthBound, WebAnimation/YouTubePoop, the history of the BZP comics forum, and pretty much [[AuthorAppeal anything else the ICC members like]].
** Nuparurocks' comics in particular, liked to reference {{Music/DaftPunk Daft Punk}}, {{Manga/RanmaOneHalf Ranma}}, {{Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood Mister Rogers' Neighborhood}} and {{WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer Dora the Explorer}} among other things (up to the point where Both Daft Punk and Dora were recurring characters in the series).

* TheVerse: Almost all of the comics take place in what has been nicknamed the "{{ICCverse}}.

* CensorBox: Occurs throughout the continuity, often with the box being signed either "Pohuaki" or "Black Six" (respectively the BZP Global Moderator in charge of the comics forum, and the head administrator of [=BZPower=]). Sees particularly heavy use in ''Nuparurocks' Comics'', most memorably when large portions of an ode to Megan Fox gets censored by Black Six to the point that [[UpToEleven the whole second verse is censored]].

* CoolMask / MaskOfPower: Inevitable since this is BIONICLE fanwork; the fanon Kanohi Eraksa, the artifact to which the existence of reality in the [=ICCverse=] is literally bound, takes this UpToEleven.

Yeah! We're really excited to be doing the Wiki/TVTropes page for the International [=ComicContinuity=].

* StockSubtitle: ''(3L)2: Live, Learn and Lawsuits'' and ''Nuparurocks' Comics: Season Beta''.
** Also, ''That's Messed Up: Creator's Wrath'' and ''That's Messed Up: The Legendary Gerlicky''.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: And how. Every comic series had its own set of original characters, villians, citizens, organizations and other various characters. Put them all together and you have a full fledged continuity.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: ''BIONICLES ADVENTURS COMIXS'' is this to "The Pirogi Vampire", being radically different from the main series.

[[DescribeTopicHere Describe International Comic Continuity Here.]]

* Dlakii: Founding member, and a [[OldShame former moderator]] of [=BZPower=]. Was [[AuthorExistenceFailure banned from BZPower]] under [[MisBlamed highly questionable circumstances]] in March 2010, shortly after the ICC's founding, but continues to make a strong contribution to the ICC when he's not choked down by his university work; some of the ICC love making sport of subtly lampshading this fact in their work. His sole series for the ICC was ''[[KentBrockmanNews The Newsroom]]'', an office farce set in the headquarters of the beleaguered television station Channel Billion.

* AbortedArc: ''The Newsroom'' in its entirely, owing to AuthorExistenceFailure. A planned reboot [[DevelopmentHell still hasn't gotten off the ground after almost a year of planning]].

** For the more common variant with characters we have Bladeran, who is almost always called Blade, rarely Blade Titan, and never [=BladeTitan974=]. Due to AuthorExistenceFailure, the name Bladeran was revealed, but the comic went on haitus soon after before he could be called by it.

* [[PacManFever Pac-Man Fever]]: Averted, as many specific, current-gen games are mentioned and played with, always being depicted on the correct system. This is due to most of the members being avid gamers, and many of the games mentioned are the ones they are spending a lot of time playing with at the moment (time which then [[AuthorExistenceFailure distracts from comic work]]). ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' and ''[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]]'' games usually are at the forefront of this, with ''Videogame/EarthBound'' references starting a small rise, thanks in no part to [[MemeticMutation McGyiyg]].

* ScheduleSlip: The ICC series are infamous for this, often owing to AuthorExistenceFailure.

* VideogameSettings:
** AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: The sewer complex that lies underneath Kato
** HubCity: Kato
** CyberSpace: The Server
** HubLevel: Janaro's Café
*** To a lesser extent, the restaurant and usual hangout place actually named "The Hub", run by Gavla
** ShiftingSandLand: Zola Nui

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: ''Nuparurocks' Comics'' constantly has religious words as swears and religious themes. And in one instance, "Hell" was used (This was edited in another version).
** Plus there's the Fun With Acronyms example above.

* [[PacManFever Pac-Man Fever]]: Averted, as many specific, current-gen games are mentioned and played with, always being depicted on the correct system. This is due to most of the members being avid gamers, and many of the games mentioned are the ones they are spending a lot of time playing with at the moment (time which then [[AuthorExistenceFailure distracts from comic work]]). Franchise/{{Pokemon}} and [[SuperMarioBros Mario]] games usually are at the forefront of this, with Videogame/EarthBound references starting a small rise, thanks in no part to [[MemeticMutation McGyiyg]].
