Some webcomics just get off on the wrong foot. Maybe they took a hard left turn in the middle of the archives, maybe they just had horrible art, scripting or were just plain boring. It takes a while for an artist to find their style,note often a long while, and once that style is found, the comics made eons ago strike of Old Shame to the artist. Sometimes, it just pays to give new readers a new place to start off. |

Red String, after securing a publishing deal, redrew and rewrote its first few chapters. The original first chapter, which was the standalone short-comic the artist based the rest of the series on was completely rewritten into a proper introduction to the series. The original second chapter taken out entirely and some of its events retooled and placed into the new first chapter. The following chapters had progressively less changes made to them, mostly a few redrawn pages and tweaks to the art and story so they would flow better. Unusually, all of this was done without interrupting the production of the current comic. | |

Boyfriends. was originally hosted on Tapas and Webtoon Canvas, but was taken down on both of those platforms pursuant to the comic's rerelease on Webtoon Originals. When it did arrive, many scenes and lines of dialogue from the early chapters were new, and many chapters had not appeared in the original runs at all. Furthermore, all of the early chapters were originally in black and white, but were remade in full color for the Originals debut. | |

Achewood did this twice: the first batch of comics was never even officially published (and is now subscriber-only content), but one of them, "Philippe is standing on it", became the first episode of the series proper. However, the comic only really took off with "The Party" (its first storyline), and the first couple dozen strips now aren't actually linked in the drop-down storyline menu. | |

In a strange comic book example, the publishers of Mortadelo y Filemón had around a hundred of their early strips (including the first one◊) redrawn by unrelated artist Martínez Osete to account for the changes Ibáñez introduced after 1969- mainly, changing the heroes' roles from private detectives to secret agents and adding their new boss, Súper, who would take in many cases the role of Filemón, now Mortadelo's sidekick instead of his employer. | |

Charby the Vampirate Initially just inserted an origin story for the main character as a new beginning. Also, periodically pages throughout the archive were completely redrawn, either because the author wanted a plot-important scene to have more legs, or because she simply lost the original image file. Currently the old archive is being revamped to maintain better style consistency and add more plot. | |

Partway through Volume III, Earthsong was restarted from the beginning because the artist was dissatisfied both with the art and writing quality. The Redux not only showed off her Art Evolution, it had revisions to characterization and changed the explanation of the Backstory from a plain Info Dump to a flashback with dialogue and characters. | |

Angel Moxie went though a format change horizontal strip to a more traditional four-panel layout with bigger art and proper word balloons and dialog. The original format using tiny panels and even tinier fonts and speech balloons was used because the author thought he could possibly get his strip to run on cell phones. Upon discovering this venture to be economically unfeasible, he eventually changed the format and slowly redid the original strips to match as he progressed with new strip updates. | |

Used as a plot point in The Japanese Beetle after the shift in publishers. The first few strips of the 2003 series are essentially better-drawn updates to the series' 1998 beginnings. Later on, it's discovered that it was All Just a Dream. | |

El Goonish Shive at some point advised new readers to start with the Bringing Silly Back arc, to help people past the unnatural amount of exposition in the first year or so. As of late 2021, there is no mention of this on the main page or "new reader" page: Both said page and the "first comic" button simply direct the reader to the actual, January-2002 first comic. | |

Bittersweet Candy Bowl updated the art of the first three volumes of the comic, as well as completely rewriting some character origins and creating a new introductory chapter ("Simple Pleasures") to replace the more aimless original first chapter. Originally combined with New Starting Point as the authors wanted new readers to start where Volume 2 would begin (the aptly named "Starting Over", currently a non-canon comic). | |

The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob! started out as a print comic in a 1990's college newsletter. When it was revived in 2006, it began by posting scans of the original strips; the earliest ones of which were very crudely drawn. But the first strip posted was a newly drawn introduction, giving all the regulars a cameo and explaining the strip's printed origins. | |

It's Walky! is an interesting case. David Willis began redrawing its first storyline, "Year Zero," in 2005, to allow readers to skip their Old Shame Roomies! (from which it spun off). However, this effort ran into Schedule Slip and was eventually abandoned halfway through for the sake of prioritizing new material. Willis eventually finished it for the "bringbackroomies.com" rerun site... in 2014, leading to an Art Shift reflecting nine years of Art Evolution within the redrawn story. | |
