WHAT A WEBCOMIC GENRE IS


A Genre is not so much a Bias as a Tone : if the characters of a webcomic are wandering lost in a cave on a spelunking expedition, a dark comedy might have them come across a skeleton of some lost person, dressed in the same equipment and clothing they are using. In a horror comic, they stand a much better chance of being eaten by some horrible infernal beast that picks them off one by one. This is but one comparison; there are as many variations on genre as there are webcomics.

Strictly speaking, all pieces of fiction have a genre, and webcomics invariably take one on, either by conincidence or design, over the course of a strip's run. However, the depth that genre will take on is directly influenced by the depth of the characters who live and die in the world of any given comic. Dynamic charcters produce dynamic examples of their genres.
