Mandark, in his attempt to kill Dexter, lets himself be blown up during his base self detonation. Blossom is temporally drowned while being held captive but brought back to life. During the side story, Atomic Betty's crew (Sparky and X-5) are killed after stumbling upon one of the big bad's bases. Betty nearly killed herself if not for [[JusticeLeagueUnlimited Amazo]] finding her.

* PlayedWith in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}''. Several times the narrative develops characters over the course of time, then kills them off, before using TimeTravel or CosmicRetcon to send a sole survivor to a different timeline to avert that BadFuture. Problem is, changing the timeline changes how each character develops, and with enough time, their personality entirely. The characters attempt to gloss over this uncomfortable fact, but sometimes they can't help but be taken aback.
-->i mean, it's ok if you're gay now! that's totally cool, if true. i just think... you turning gay would be kind of a weird consequence of me changing the time line around?

Then a long-foreshadowed extremely dramatic storyline, "bROKEN", turned the whole thing upside down with two main characters appearing to die and one much more definitely so than the other. The following storyline basically ZigZagged with whether the other one could survive, or for that matter whether they would end up in AndIMustScream or as a SoullessShell, but ultimately {{subverted}} the trope and in the end left the readers gasping for breath but pretty secure with the knowledge that PlotArmor is still in place for the most central characters.

* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'': For a long time it seemed clear main characters were safe, though more minor characters could die both dramatically (rarely, except for Oasis who kept doing it and [[BackFromTheDead coming back]]) and humorously (more common), or even kind of both ways at the same time. Then a long-foreshadowed extremely dramatic storyline, "bROKEN", turned the whole thing upside down with two main characters appearing to die and one much more definitely so than the other. The following storyline basically ZigZagged with whether the other one could survive, or for that matter whether they would end up in AndIMustScream or as a SoullessShell, but ultimately {{subverted}} the trope and in the end left the readers gasping for breath but pretty secure with the knowledge that PlotArmor is still in place.

At one point in the strip's early days, the entire ''CastHerd'' of Zoë's college friends were killed off in a horror film parody, and later, the sequel killed off one of the main characters' housemates during a victim montage.

Game Over was a doomed/retconned timeline. So they were sort of copies in a way, their deaths were not permanent, and the trope doesn\'t apply. And Vriska\'s death was undone too. Since this trope only counts if the deaths are permanent, removing that. Also I\'m taking that Author Avatar thing to the discussion since despite representing the author he\'s still primarly a comic relief character and not major when it comes to screentime.

Hussie\'s self-insert is a comic relief and even then he still has a ghost drifting around and the comic progresses the same way until an unrelated circumstance happens. Yeah, he represents the author, but seeing the low amont of screentime and plot relevance he got in the story before his death, it means next to nothing and this entry seems to just be using the incident as bragging rights. Also, as I\'ve said before when I shortened Homestuck\'s examples here down so that it doesn\'t become a huge list of deaths permanent or not, there is still a number of major characters left alive and there\'s strong hints that the only one that\'s actually dead right now is going to come back soon, so Homestuck itself barely counts as taking this Up To Eleven.

* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'' has its fair share of this, frequently killing off supporting cast members. Although anything short of a headshot can be healed thanks to Applied Phlebetonium, and major characters were brought back through TimeTravel.
** Being the demolitions tech for the Toughs is pretty much a one-way ticket out of the strip...
** To wit: The strip has killed, since the beginning, six major characters just among the Toughs, including two who could easily be billed as main characters, and so many supporting Toughs it's hard to count. And these are just the ones who HAVEN'T come back.
*** To be fair, however, that's spread out over twelve years. You can certainly start reading any given arc and assume that no Toughs will have died by the end of it (not even any redshirts).
* The pre-''[[{{Walkyverse}} It's Walky]] Roomies'' featured the (then) [[http://www.itswalky.com/d/19990311.html shocking death of Ruth]]. Her death marked a CerebusSyndrome moment in the strip's history (The strip started the transition to It's Walky in the immediate aftermath) and served to show that the gang's wacky hijinks were no longer consequence-free. It also set the "No warning" tone for many of the deaths to come (Dina's in particular).

* ''HitmenForDestiny'' killed off a character who was explained to be extremely important quite early on. Recently another major character was unexpectedly killed off. Both of these characters were very popular among the fanbase. It looks like nobody is safe at this point.

* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance''. Monica's death was especially shocking for its sheer ''randomness'', stabbed in the back by Oasis as she arrived; Zoë's death, and the weeks spent convincing the audience it was real, was a shock, but at least that was in an action scene.

* ''GameDestroyers'' has killed off or otherwise incapacitated a number of main characters to date, namely Bojangles, Ace, Cedris, and the Nintendo Otaku. Only a small handful of main characters will likely never be considered when it's time to kill someone off.
* ''{{Counting}}'' Not just anyone but everyone in the town of Thirston. Including a bird in a bird bath.
* ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive''. The author, Randy Milholland, has made it quite clear that nobody - beloved or despised - is immune from the Grim Reaper. The responses when he invokes this trope tend to vary; in one case, someone told Randy ''to his face'' that [[FanDumb the death of a certain character didn't actually happen]]. And if you tell him he can't, for whatever reason, kill off a character, Randy will kill said character anyway out of spite, even if they weren't supposed to die.
* Seen in ''DeadOfSummer'', being that it's a ZombieApocalypse story.
* Webcomic/{{Lackadaisy}}'s author [[WordOfGod has stated that]] one of the main characters will die.
* ''Webcomic/MSPaintMasterpieces'' uses this [[spoiler: Even Mega Man gets it.]]
----
* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'' has its fair share of this, frequently killing off supporting cast members. Although anything short of a headshot can be healed thanks to Applied Phlebetonium, and major characters were brought back through TimeTravel.
** Being the demolitions tech for the Toughs is pretty much a one-way ticket out of the strip...
** To wit: The strip has killed, since the beginning, six major characters just among the Toughs, including two who could easily be billed as main characters, and so many supporting Toughs it's hard to count. And these are just the ones who HAVEN'T come back.
*** To be fair, however, that's spread out over twelve years. You can certainly start reading any given arc and assume that no Toughs will have died by the end of it (not even any redshirts).
* The pre-''[[{{Walkyverse}} It's Walky]] Roomies'' featured the (then) [[http://www.itswalky.com/d/19990311.html shocking death of Ruth]]. Her death marked a CerebusSyndrome moment in the strip's history (The strip started the transition to It's Walky in the immediate aftermath) and served to show that the gang's wacky hijinks were no longer consequence-free. It also set the "No warning" tone for many of the deaths to come (Dina's in particular).
* ''YetAnotherFantasyGamerComic'' has main characters die quite often, and with little drama. It helps that there are quite a few main characters in each arc. Only one of them, Glon, has ever been brought back.
* Although set in a world with functional resurrection magic, ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' has featured a number of shocking deaths, particularly Lord Shojo, Miko Miyazaki, Therkla and Roy Greenhilt, himself, who is [[TheHero the main protagonist of the comic]]. Only the last of those has been reversed, and doing so was the goal of an arc.
** And now Durkon Thundershield.
** It uses the interesting loophole in all D&D resurrection spells: the dead person's spirit has to be willing to return. Two of those listed examples would, for various reasons, rather stay dead than face their lives again.
*** And the other one wasn't exactly well-liked.
* Despite being a fancomic and using characters from TV Shows, ''PowerpuffGirlsDoujinshi'' doesn't skimp on this. Deedee is shown killed during a flashback, taking a laser blast for Dexter. Mandark, in his attempt to kill Dexter, lets himself be blown up during his base self detonation. Blossom is temporally drowned while being held captive but brought back to life. During the side story, Atomic Betty's crew (Sparky and X-5) are killed after stumbling upon one of the big bad's bases. Betty nearly killed herself if not for [[JusticeLeagueUnlimited Amazo]] finding her.
* ''Wrongside: Beginning'' has not been hesitant to kill characters off. And has even parodied it in a joke strip.
* ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}''. Many characters die as soon as you start getting attached to them. The tagline for Book Four's climax was "EVEN MAIN CHARACTERS CAN'T LIVE FOREVER."
* ''HitmenForDestiny'' killed off a character who was explained to be extremely important quite early on. Recently another major character was unexpectedly killed off. Both of these characters were very popular among the fanbase. It looks like nobody is safe at this point.
* ''{{Juathuur}}'' has lot of death in it, and no way shown to resurrect people. The trope is established with Bivv's death and comes into full force with the Battle of Erab Adur.
* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance''. Monica's death was especially shocking for its sheer ''randomness'', stabbed in the back by Oasis as she arrived; Zoë's death, and the weeks spent convincing the audience it was real, was a shock, but at least that was in an action scene. At one point in the strip's early days, the entire ''CastHerd'' of Zoë's college friends were killed off in a horror film parody, and later, the sequel killed off one of the main characters' housemates during a victim montage.
* ''BreakfastOfTheGods'': Let's just say the first death occurs on page '''3''' of the first book.
* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' as of January 2011. All deaths prior to this were throwaways; [[spoiler:Dave's doomed timeline duplicates, dreamselves, real selves that are just replaced by dream selves (like Sollux, but he had two so it didn't matter), John, Vriska, and Aradia's ascensions to God Tier, random mooks and carapaces, and probably more. Then Eridan flipped and killed Kanaya and Feferi. Vriska killed Tavros. Gamzee killed Equius and Nepeta. Kanaya CameBackStrong as a Rainbow Drinker and sawed Eridan in half. As per more recent developments, Vriska is dead, having received a Just death. [[SarcasmMode Hussie sure loves us!]]]]
** Luckily, dead characters can still show up in dreambubbles. Unluckily, [[spoiler:Lord English is starting to destroy dream bubbles, which permanently destroys any dead characters in them at the time...something which was first demonstrated in a flash in which an entire ''planet'' of dead characters was instantly destroyed.]]
