3 | ''[[http://www.realmofatland.com/ Atland]]'' is a fantasy webcomic by Creator/NatePiekos, the guy who also runs the font design Web site [[http://www.blambot.com/ Blambot]]. It follows the journey of the newly resurrected swordsman Barry the Brave, raised back from the dead by Lily White, the priestess of the local goddess of love. Lily has been [[TheChosenOne chosen by her order]] to be the one to stop {{The End of the World as We Know It}}, and she needs all the help she can get. |

9 | !!''Atland'' provides examples of: |
10 | |
11 | * AnnoyingArrows: The arrow in Fat Naked Berserker's head not only didn't kill him, but gave him the ability to teleport because it turned out to be magic. |
12 | * ArtEvolution: Natural for a series that ran eight years. |
13 | * AssShove: The gem that brings Barry back to life only works a certain way... |
14 | * AuthorAppeal: If a woman is of the attractive variety, she's sure to be busty. |
15 | * BackFromTheDead: Barry, being killed and revived very early in the comic. The means to revive Barry work by a rare artifact, and won't work later. |
16 | * BigBeautifulWoman: The Diva, a fat scantly-clad, huge breasted performer who has an equally huge fanbase. |
17 | * BlackComedy: Used a few times. |
18 | * [[spoiler:BodyOfBodies]]: [[spoiler:The form the Nameless One takes when it finally shows up.]] |
19 | * ComedicSociopathy: Probably the only real reason guys like Bruce and Barry are seen as heroes is because sometimes the guy they end up taking out is evil. Barry especially has a pretty decent body count of innocents he killed through his own stupidity. |
20 | * DoomedHometown |
21 | * EvilWeapon: The Chimera blade: [[spoiler: It communicates telepathically to others asking what they want the most.]] |
22 | * EyeScream: [[spoiler:Inky slashing part of Nodd's face off with a knife.]] |
23 | * FairyCompanion: Inky the thief. |
24 | * {{Fanservice}}: Plenty! |
25 | * FullFrontalAssault: Fat Naked Berserker. |
26 | * GallowsHumor: Various people getting killed or horribly maimed are often played for laughs. A lot of victims had it coming, though. |
27 | * IdiotHero: Barry. |
28 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Bruce.]] [[DeathIsCheap No magic butt gem or return trip from hell]] this time, WordOfGod is that he is dead for good. |
29 | * LastOfHerKind: Lily. |
30 | * MasterSwordsman: Barry the Brave, who has mastered the styles of The Seven Swordsmen of Atland. |
31 | * MsFanservice: Lily for season 1. Vanessa and Kitty for season 2. |
32 | * MyEyesAreUpHere: An attempted defense against the medusae was to look at their breasts. |
33 | * NoOntologicalInertia: Medusae have a petrifying gaze, but Larry returned to normal in the strip right after they were killed. |
34 | * OffWithHisHead: Happens to many characters, including [[spoiler:the BigBad of season 2.]] |
35 | * OurDwarvesAreDifferent: They're still bearded, but in Atland, they're marauding maniacal invaders. |
36 | * OurMermaidsAreDifferent |
37 | * OurMinotaursAreDifferent: Bruce the Minotaur. |
38 | * OurMonstersAreWeird: Tunneling Potato Men, and thats just for starters... |
39 | * RapeAsComedy: Fat. Naked. Berserker. |
40 | * ResurrectedForAJob: Barry is revived at the beginning of the series for his skill as a student of the legendary seven swordsmen of Atland. Unfortunately for him, the gem used to bring him back also had the side effect of giving him green skin. |
41 | * SceneryPorn: As cartoony as most of the art is, the backgrounds are always stunning. |
42 | * SceneryGorn: A good bit of this happens from time to time as well. |
43 | * StatuesqueStunner: Lily is this, too. |
44 | * {{Stripperiffic}}: About 90% of the female characters are this. |
45 | * TalkingWeapon: The Chimera Blade. [[spoiler:This isn't limited to just humans...]] |
46 | * TheEndOrIsIt: Clarke is tempted [[spoiler:by the Chimera blade]]. |
47 | * ThePlague: One was creates as a curse by medusae, while later in the comic, there's a more general plague (and Barry throws a healthy old lady into the plague pit). |
48 | * WorldOfBuxom: Any woman over the age of 18 is STACKED! |
