Context MassiveMultiplayerCrossover / Webcomics

Go To

1* There have been at least two webcomic Massive Multiplayer Crossovers: ''[[http://www.dragoneers.com/crossovers/index.php?comic=Greatescape The Framed!!! Great Escape]]'' and the recently ended ''Webcomic/CrossoverWars''.
2* ''Webcomic/{{AGENCY}}'' by [[https://www.deviantart.com/jediannsolo JediAnnSolo]] is an adventure comic staring VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog, [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants Sandy Cheeks]], characters from ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing'', [[WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}} DW Read]], [[Franchise/StarFox Fox, Krystal, and Marcus McCloud]], [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]], VideoGame/ParappaTheRapper, and WesternAnimation/ThePinkPanther. Fox, Marcus, and DW are kidnapped, causing Krystal and Mrs. Read have hired the Pink Panther (who is a PrivateInvestigator) to find them. He has hired Sandy to help with field work, and Krystal has hired Shadow as her body guard.
3** The series has also spawned a series of ''[[BerserkButton non-canon]]'' pictures featuring Shadow and Sandy as a couple. [=JediAnnSolo=] has [[WordOfGod repeated said]] that she currently has no plans to [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend pair them up in the actual series]], but she has also said that they do make for a [[BelligerentSexualTension dynamically interesting couple]].
4* ''Webcomic/AkumasComics'' is a fighting SpriteComic that starts with [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic characters]], before going on to include basically every series that the author likes and has access to sprites of...along with [[OriginalCharacter original characters]] and characters he's able to have sprites made of.
5* ''WebComic/AndShineHeavenNow'' started out as a ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' fan comic, but as the series started dealing more with the main plot, it became this. It would take all day to list every intellectual property that got incorporated into the comic (because of all the cameos), so we'll just list the ones with significant importance to the plot: ''Anime/ReadOrDie'', ''Manga/EmmaAVictorianRomance'', ''Literature/JeevesAndWooster'', ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'', ''Anime/WitchHunterRobin'', ''Literature/GoodOmens'', ''Series/TheDailyShow'' (and more significantly ''Series/TheColbertReport'' which ends up getting a spin-off called ''The Eagle of Hermes''), ''ComicStrip/LittleOrphanAnnie'' and [[spoiler:''Literature/VampireHunterD'']]. Yeah, those are just the ''important'' crossovers.
6* ''Webcomic/{{Boneheads}}'' is a comic that stars several [[DemBones fictional skeletons]] hanging out with each other: [[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Jack Skellington]], [[WebAnimation/MysterySkullsAnimated Lewis Pepper]], [[Manga/OnePiece Brook]], [[VideoGame/MediEvil Sir Daniel]], [[WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife Manolo Sanchez]], [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans, and Papyrus]] all have random skits together in a bar/cafe run by [[VideoGame/GrimFandango Manny Calavera]].
7* While ''[[http://neoyi.deviantart.com/journal/12042628/ Chess Piece]]'' is primarily a ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''-based webcomic, it has enough characters from other Nicktoons intertwined in its story to constitute its own kind of MassiveMultiplayerCrossover. Sadly, the author has lost interest in continuing the series and taken it down.
8* ''Webcomic/ComicBookSNAFU'': The first issue alone involves characters from Creator/MarvelComics, Creator/DCComics, ''Manga/YuGiOh5Ds'', and ''Manga/FairyTail''.
9* ''Webcomic/DeviantUniverse'' is a comic project involving a huge number of original superheroes and villains from Website/DeviantArt being part of a large superhero universe.
10* Applies to ''Webcomic/DragonBallMultiverse'', but for U2 it is even more of a crossover fest; a collection of many characters drawn by Creator/AkiraToriyama. [[http://bk-81.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2t2urt How many can you recognize]]? In fact, Toriyama HIMSELF appears.
11* ''Webcomic/FinalBlasphemy'' has characters from ''VideoGame/MegaMan'', ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'', ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'', and several other gaming universes.
12* ''Webcomic/{{Gamer9}}'' is set in a world inhabited by all kinds of video game characters.
13* Though it never crossed over with both at the same time, ''Webcomic/ItsWalky!'' had crossovers with both ''Webcomic/{{Melonpool}}'' and ''Webcomic/{{Fans}}!'' that established both as part of its universe (or multiverse in the latter case) and which ended up having a lasting impact on its storyline.
14* ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell'' and ''Webcomic/GeneralProtectionFault'' had an arc where two GPF characters wandered into K&K's Domain world. The artists managed to work the events into ''both'' their storylines that were running at the time, and apparently drew a strip each day--both had two-strip days where the storyline advanced.
15* The ''Webcomic/LadySpectraAndSparky'' storyline "Demon War" featured guest-stars from several different 1990s-era mini-comics, including Mister Mid-Nite, Doc Saphire, Cassiopeia the Witch, and Madame Boogala.
16* ''Webcomic/LeastICouldDo'' recently finished the Ultimate Final Civil War Invasion Crisis Thing, which featured the gaming webcomic characters trying to kill the slice-of-life comic characters. (''Webcomic/CyanideAndHappiness'', meet ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}''.)
17* ''Webcomic/MenageA3'' and ''Webcomic/SoreThumbs'' crossed over at some point and are implied to be in the same universe, and '' Ménage à 3'' crossed over with ''Webcomic/SchoolBites''. If this keeps up we'll wind up with every webcomic crossing over to one another.
18* The writer of ''WebComic/NoRestForTheWicked'' footnotes her comics so you can get all the fairy tales she's using characters from.
19* ''Webcomic/{{Platformers}}'' was planned to be a crossover starring [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach]], [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]], [[VideoGame/CrashBandicoot Crash]], VideoGame/{{Rayman}}, [[VideoGame/BanjoKazooie Banjo, Kazooie]], VideoGame/{{Shantae}} and VideoGame/{{Klonoa}}.
20* The webcomics ''Webcomic/QueenOfWands'' and ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'' had [[http://www.queenofwands.net/d/20040510.html a couple]] of [[http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp05102004.shtml crossover stories]]. Later, after QOW ended its run, Kestrel [[CanonImmigrant showed up as a semi-regular]] on S*P.
21** Choo-Choo Bear hired the Pet Professional from the webcomic of the same name to kill his homicidal cousin Twitchy-Hug.
22** And recently Davan from S*P has been seen texting with ''Webcomic/GirlsWithSlingshots'' after running into her at the wedding of Jameson and Maureen.
23** Choo-Choo Bear later had kittens with Sprinkles of ''Girls with Slingshots'', one of whom Davan gave to Roz of ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'', and another is by Hazel to her cousin Robyn from ''Webcomic/AllNewIssues''.
24*** Even better, none of those strips have been shy about crossovers of their own. QOW drags in ''Webcomic/PunchAnPie'', which stars its BreakoutCharacter Angela; ''Shortpacked!'', a branch of the Webcomic/WalkyVerse, pulls in ''Fans!'' and ''Webcomic/{{Avalon|1999}}''.
25* ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' has crossed over with ''Diesel Sweeties'', which has itself crossed over with ''Webcomic/ScaryGoRound''. ''Questionable Content'' has also crossed over with ''Webcomic/{{Applegeeks}}'', which, having crossed over with ''Webcomic/CtrlAltDel'', would turn the whole group into one quasi-incestuous ball of webcomics. I'm reasonably certain that ''Webcomic/PvP'' has been referenced in at least one of these, probably ''Diesel Sweeties'', and since the former has crossed over with ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' more than once, it's completely cross-eyed insane over there.
26** And the Author of ''Ctrl+Alt+Del'' exists as a person in the ''Penny Arcade'' universe, so that means, if you follow the little red thread of universal strings, that he exists in the same plane of existence as his characters..
27** Don't forget that ''Applegeeks'' had a major crossover (well, on its end) with ''Webcomic/MegaTokyo'' at one point. Which chains the whole thing to a specific date, making things even crazier.
28** It gets better. ''Questionable Content'' is now having background extras as characters from other comics like ''Girls With Slingshots'', ''Webcomic/OctopusPie'', ''Webcomic/AndersLovesMaria'' and ''Webcomic/{{Overcompensating}}''. Since ''Overcompensating'' features the author and most people known in the webcomic industry, it means all these characters now exist in the same universe as their creators.
29** The cast of ''Shortpacked!'' has visited the Coffee of Doom coffee house from QC on occasion, including once when both artists did a take on the [[http://www.shortpacked.com/2009/comic/book-10/03-the-comedy-laugh/coffeehouse/ same]] [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1550 scene]]. Combine that with the S*P IntercontinuityCrossover Nexus mentioned above, along with all ''their'' respective crossovers, and we have a massive webcomic universe that could give Marvel a run for its money.
30** Oh, and, ''Shortpacked!'' has crossed with ''Webcomic/{{Multiplex}}''.
31* ''Webcomic/ScoobAndShag'' is a crossover between every major Western cartoon between UsefulNotes/{{the Golden|AgeOfAnimation}} and UsefulNotes/{{the Millennium Age of Animation}}. Its primary cast alone contains characters from ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo'', ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}}'', ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'', several Creator/CartoonNetwork shows, and WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse.
32* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' hosted one of these during the [[FillerStrips Filler Arc]] "[[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=000327 Sluggy Freelance: Where Are You?]]" When all of ''Sluggy's'' [[AnimatedActors actors]] are kidnapped (a.k.a. Pete Abrams decides to take some time off) characters from several other webcomics are hired to fill in for them and/or find the kidnappers.
33* ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'': [[WordOfGod According to its creator]], takes place in [[AnotherDimension Dimension C-197]], which is this for everything barring a [[VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}} few]] [[VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} exceptions]]. Even before the idea of a [[MergedReality Dimensional Merge]] came into play, this trope applied on a much lesser scale. The comic itself features characters, settings, objects, and groups from ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'', ''Franchise/SailorMoon'', ''Franchise/YuGiOh'', ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'', ''[[WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead Beavis and Butt-Head]]'', ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'', Franchise/{{Transformers}}, ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', and ''Franchise/{{Neptunia}}'', to name [[LongList a few]].
34* ''Webcomic/StarslipCrisis: Alterverse War'' is a mashup of a large number of science fiction webcomics, and had just started as of October 2007.
35* ''Webcomic/TroopsOfDoom'' has Franchise/GIJoe[=/=]Cobra and Franchise/StarWars Empire characters, as well as other random characters and an alien race called [[Franchise/{{Lego}} Legonians]].
36* ''Webcomic/UglyClub'' is about an intercontinuity [[TropaholicsAnonymous support group]] for {{Public Domain Character}}s with [[TheGrotesque personal appearance problems]]. The group is led by Literature/ThePhantomOfTheOpera, and its regular members include FrankensteinsMonster, [[Literature/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Quasimodo]], [[Literature/BeautyAndTheBeast the Beast]], and [[Literature/TheManWhoLaughs Gwynplaine]].
37* Several members of the "Webcomics Inc." social networking site collaborated on a crossover comic, where they made all their characters teen-aged and put them into high school together. The result, "WCI High", merged characters from "Good Times", "Mikey's Life", "Everyday Heroes", and "Big Sandy Gilmore". (Of these, only ''Webcomic/EverydayHeroes'' seems to be still actively updating.)
