''[[http://www.whatsshakincomic.com/ What's Shakin']]'' is a fantasy webcomic by Shawn Tommelleo, creator of ''Webcomic/CoffinComics''. The story follows Coffinshaker, Nith, and Ell. Coffin, a born fire mage and last of his kind, travels with his two mage friends (ok, Nith is a battlemage, but close enough) to uncover a wicked plot to use his unique abilities to power the evil "fire god" Fred.
!!''What's Shakin''' shows examples of the following tropes:
* ActionGirl: Ell, but only in time of need. Mostly defensive, but she can kick a butt or two.
* AerithAndBob: Ell, Nith, Pai... and Coffinshaker... and Fred.
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Pretty much just Fred. He has an irrational need to gain power and destroy.
* ArtShift: Each flashback has a different art style.
** ''[[http://whatsshakincomic.com/2011/05/30/page-37/ Page 37]]'' - Ell's flashback uses the old B&W animation style.
** ''[[http://whatsshakincomic.com/2011/06/06/page-38/ Page 38]]'' - Pai's flashback uses a childish crayon style.
** ''[[http://whatsshakincomic.com/2011/06/13/page-39/ Page 39]]'' - Nith's flashback is in a B&W manga style.
** ''[[http://whatsshakincomic.com/2011/06/20/page-40/ Page 40]]'' - Coffin's flashback uses an old disco painting/tarnished style.
** ''[[http://whatsshakincomic.com/2011/08/29/page-49/ Page 49]]'' - Fred's flahback has a monochrome red grunge style.
** ''[[http://whatsshakincomic.com/2011/09/19/page-52/ Page 52]]'' & ''[[http://whatsshakincomic.com/2011/09/26/page-53/ Page 53]]'' - The Sister's flashback uses an old cartoon, like Scooby Doo kind of style.
* BigBad: Fred. He's just a big bad jerk.
* BigNo: Nith discovers his home has been destroyed.
* CombatMedic: Ell.
* CleavageWindow: Ms. Apple.
* CuteMonsterGirl: Ell and Pai.
* DaydreamSurprise: Coffinshaker does this at times where his fantasies blend into the story layout without notice.
** Coffin mourns the ''[[http://whatsshakincomic.com/2010/09/20/page-3/ death of his butterfly friend]]'' in a funeral scene completely inside his head.
** He also has a bit of a 300 fantasy after driving off a horde of villains from the ''[[http://whatsshakincomic.com/2011/04/25/page-33/ edge of a castle]]''.
** Pai also has a bit of a blended fantasy moment when she ''[[http://whatsshakincomic.com/2011/02/07/page-23/ first meets Coffin]]''.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: Coffin and Pai don't wear shoes!
* ElementalAbsorption: Fred, a fire elemental, absorbs fire magic, which is why he hunts fire mages to consume their powers.
* ElementalEmbodiment: All the elementals are called Eternals, which are embodiments a single element. The only eternal seen so far has been ''[[http://whatsshakincomic.com/2010/09/06/ch1-pg1/ Fred]]''.
* ElementalPowers: Mages and Battlemages have the ability to use all types of magic, but excel in only one type.
** [[PlayingWithFire Fire Magic]]: Coffinshaker, who is also the only one that can use fire magic.
** [[HolyHandGrenade Holy Magic]]: Ell and Nith use holy magic. Though Ell mostly [[LightEmUp heals]], but can sometimes attack too.
** [[SoulPower Spirit Magic]]: Pai is a spirit mage, a type of mage that can gain the powers from creatures from the spirit world. Granted, she can't use these powers just yet.
** [[SummonMagic Summon Magic]]: Spirit mages like Pai are able to summon their spirits in the form of "haints" aka ghosts. Of course... Pai is not able to use these powers yet.
* ElementalRockPaperScissors: In contrast to typical canon, ice and water elements are weak against fire as seen in the ''[[http://whatsshakincomic.com/2011/08/22/page-48-2/ fight against Fred]]''.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: The evil fire god's name is Fred. This is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] with the heros saying, "Wow, worst villain name ever!"
* FinalBossPreview: Fred.
* GlassCannon: Coffin is a fairly powerful fire mage, but without his reliance of fire, is mostly vulnerable to all other attacks. He does seem to have some bit of ''[[http://whatsshakincomic.com/2011/02/14/page-24/ acrobatic skills]]'' though.
* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: Ell and Pai.
* OhCrap: Coffin experiences this when Fred absorbs all of his fire attacks and is cornered with no way to defend himself.
* PowerGlows: [[http://whatsshakincomic.com/2011/01/17/page-20/ Ell]] powers up with anger!
* SceneryPorn: Many large panel scenes are drawn this way to emphasize something dramatic going on. Or transitional pages to help break the mood, like ''[[http://whatsshakincomic.com/2011/05/09/page-35/ THIS]]'' one.
* SilenceIsGolden: The last page of every issue has absolutely no dialog or narration.
* SouthernFriedGenius: Basically all of the mages.
* TheSpeechless: Coffinshaker never speaks! Neither does Berry.
