History Webcomic / Lightbringer

Since Lovhaug has other [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall priorities]] [[HistoryOfPowerRangers to attend to]] (also another webcomic called Revolution of the Mask), Lightbringer [[SeriesHiatus has not updated]] since August 19, 2012. Lovhaug eventually deemed it too time consuming and [[http://atopfourthwall.blogspot.ca/2013/09/state-of-wall-9-30-13-and-october-2013.html officially released the comic and all of its characters]] [[PublicDomainCharacter into the public domain]]. In the meantime, earlier strips are currently being redone by Mark Banilbo [[http://lightbringer.smackjeeves.com here]].

* {{Crossover}}: With Linkara (a character from ''Angel Armor'', not the creator), a character from a fantasy trilogy written by Lovhaug when he was 13. Webcomic/{{Mindmistress}} also appeared for one story as part of the CrossoverWars.

** Darkbringer speaks for himself. Also parodied when Lightbringer meets Mister Threat during ''CrossoverWars''.

''[[http://lightbringer.comicgenesis.com/d/20060315.html Lightbringer]]'' is a webcomic on ComicGenesis created March 16, 2006 by Creator/LewisLovhaug, better known as [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]], years before he became known for criticizing comic books. It was written and drawn by Lovhaug through the first twelve-and-a-half issues. Artists [[http://chadrocco.deviantart.com/ Chad Rocco]] and [[http://sergexiii.deviantart.com/ Sergio Ragno]] illustrated the remaining issues in the comic's run.

* TheCape: Lightbringer

* TheCommissionerGordon: Police Chief Eddie Crane.

* HartmanHips: Since Chad Rocco took over the art.

* ShoutOut: A lot of them, mostly to Creator/DCComics, particularly ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}''. Carter even quotes Doctor Manhattan in a romantic way (see quote at the top of this page).

* VigilanteMan: Bruiser.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Darkbringer believes that the only way to defeat evil is by embracing darkness and despair. He wants to kill Lightbringer because "he brings false hope".

* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy [[XmeetsY meets]] JackTheRipoff: The Gentleman claims he was Jack the Ripper and a few other famous serial killers.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Darkbringer speaks for himself. Also parodied when Lightbringer meets Mister Threat during ''CrossoverWars''.

This hero has nothing to do with the 1993 BeatEmUp released by Creator/{{Taito}}, outside maybe being a violent EpicFantasy. We hope he's unrelated to [[{{Satan}} the other guy called Lightbringer]]. Or TheLightbringerTrilogy.

* LargeHam [[http://lightbringer.comicgenesis.com/d/20080618.html Behold your savior, Pharos City! Bear witness to his defeat!]]

* BlackAndWhiteMorality: Outright stated a number of times.

* CreatorBacklash: Upon being asked about the early strips at Magfest 2011, Lovhaug stated "Old Lightbringer sucks." The backlash stems from his view that his younger self was overly opinionated.

* OldShame: The early issues. During an episode of WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall (''Black Web #1'' review), Lovhaug talks about them briefly while mentioning the trope by name.

* AntiHero: Although generally portrayed as an idealist, given that his interrogation of the Serpent qualifies as torture, as well as his excessive force when handling General Werres (ie. chucking him through a window), and defiance of the mayor; Lightbringer qualifies.

* ForTheEvulz: Smiling Man, but not so much as he is in ''Webcomic/TheCrossoverlord''.

Lightbringer and one of his enemies the Smiling Man, also play a big part in ''Webcomic/TheCrossoverlord''.

* ActualPacifist: Carter's parents.

''[[http://lightbringer.comicgenesis.com/d/20060315.html Lightbringer]]'' is a webcomic on ComicGenesis created by Lewis Lovhaug, better known as [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]]. It tells the story of Carter Granholme, who has mysterious, light-based abilities. For years he refused to use them in honor of his dead parents, who were pacifists, but after becoming fed up of the crime in Pharos City, he becomes Lightbringer, the world's first superhero.

Lightbringer was both written and drawn by Lovhaug through the first twelve issues and part of issue thirteen. By his own admittance, because he is more of a writer than an artist, he brought [[http://chadrocco.deviantart.com/ Chad Rocco]] to take care of the drawing side, who drew the rest of issue thirteen, issue fourteen, and the first half of issue fifteen. After he left, Sergio Ragno of ''Webcomic/ThirteenthChild'' fame took over and finished the second half of issue fifteen.
