And Shine Heaven Now is a Hellsing fan web comic created by Erin Ptah, hosted on Comic Genesis. More humorous than its source material, Shine follows the Hellsing organization and others as they tackle problems such as parties, monster attacks, romance, pay checks, extremely aggravating fangirls, and those meddling kids.
Besides many of the tropes found in Hellsing, Shine also provides examples of:
- Battle Royale With Cheese (Everything is leading toward Hellsing's big showdown, with a stack of crossovers thrown in)
- Cerebus Syndrome (Arguably justified, as readers have known from the beginning that the gag storylines would lead to the dramatic plot of Hellsing eventually)
- Con Recap (Parodied in the Catholicon storyline, in which Enrico recounts a convention of religious fanatics)
- Dis Continuity (Played with when Shine switches from anime continuity to manga continuity and Incognito is informed that he no longer exists)
- Filk Song (The HellSing fillers)
- Fire And Brimstone Hell
- For Science ("What's Up Doc?", a series of Sunday specials featuring Doc, Millennium's mad scientist)
- Fourth Wall Mail Slot (The Doujinshi-Ka's Inbox segment, usually an Author Guest Spot, though other characters often chime in)
- Freaky Friday (for the entire Millennium cast, followed by just Schroedinger and the kidnapped succubus Nina.
- Genre Savvy The Major, being a fanboy of War (in the figurative and literal sense), gives a fandom term laden version of his famous 'I Love War' speech to subdue the fangirls.
- Good Angel Bad Angel (Integra and Timothy. Partially subverted in that Integra's angel and devil appeared in full-size versions during the visit-to-Hell storyline.)
- Guest Strip: Used as filler to keep up the update schedule, with the side effect that any Series Hiatus is limited by the number of strips the readership can be coerced to send in.
- I Have Your Wife ( Walter. Millennium has his daughter, Maggie. )
- Jigsaw Puzzle Plot (Weaves together plot points from all the major series included, plus a bunch of original twists)
- Mega Crossover (Far too many crossovers and cameos to even begin mentioning. But let's try! There's Read Or Die, Emma, Madeline, Witch Hunter Robin, Marimite, Good Omens, and Revolutionary Girl Utena. And cameo of other series.)
- Most Common Card Game
- Myth Arc (Was held off until Hellsing ended so as not to get Jossed, but is now starting to develop)
- Nice Hat (One fangirl absconded back to her world with Alucard's hat)
- Only A Flesh Wound (subverted; in spite of her bravado, the character is significantly weakened, and easily knocked out in the next strip)
- Original Character (the vampires Reseda and Marian, most notably, along with some supporting cast in Heaven and Hell)
- How could you forget Timothy?
- Overly Long Name (Marian Amethyst Raven Yumi Sappho Urania Elizabeth, who oddly enough is not a Mary Sue)
- Robbing The Crusoe
- She Is Not My Girlfriend Seras is definitely not interested in Pip. Nope.
- Shipping (Not only do the many fangirls have couples they ship, but while clinging to a host they can enforce them)
- Sliding Scale Of Fourth Wall Hardness (it can be broken for comedy value, as Integra explains)
- So Beautiful Its A Curse (Seras on her figure; Pip insists that he can respect her as a person and enjoy her chest)
- Sunday Strip (Sometimes plot-relevant, but generally used to present non-storyline features, including Q&As, parodies, filk, and one-shots)
- That Night Felt Like Months (variation after the timeline reboot)
- Time Travel
- Translation Convention (Usually used, although averted when a character is speaking/thinking in French)
- Tsundere (Seras)
- Tuckerization (The fangirl storylines, as well as the Catholicon storyline, take this to extremes)
- Webcomic Time: Everything before the time travel storyline (published in 2006, taking place in 1997) has been hit by Ret Con, but after it things have started to advance. In 2008 the comic had made it into 1998, and Word Of God states that Hellsing's main plot will take place in 1999 (comic time).
