A webcomic written and drawn by Matt Speroni of How I Killed Your Master fame, The Dreadful (link is to first page, as some pages are NSFW) is a fantasy story in a Wild West setting. It stars Kit, a cute half-demon ("Devikin") gunslinger who wields the eponymous weapon, a magical pistol. It also has a fairly strong supporting cast, that is becoming more developed as the comic goes on. These include Boozloaf, a minotaur preacher; Erin, a winged sniper; Liz, a sharpshooter who once ran with the same gang Kit did, and Poe, Kit's less violent twin sister.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The story begins with our heroine shot in the back and left to bleed out in an alley. Someone called Judge Catherine finds her lying there and whisks her away. She recovers after two days in the hospital and is taken to meet with a detective agency. They task her to hunt down and kill the leader of her old gang, Jeanne Noelle. Given that Jeanne was more than likely the one who ordered her shot, Kit has no problem with this. But the job may not be as simple as it first appears...

comment
Anachronism Stew: The setting is nominally Wild West / Weird West and the standard sidearm is a single-action revolver, but then you have things like Burke's drum-fed grenade launcher, meta-references to .jpgs, and that one robot (who in flashbacks is treated mundanely).

And Now for Someone Completely Different: Chapter 4 leaves Kit and focuses on Erin, a Winged Humanoid who is carrying out Jeanne's contract on Liz.

Amazing Technicolor Population: You can't tell in the comic itself because it's Deliberately Monochrome, but supplemental material shows that Devikin have unusually pink skin, and whatever Jeanne is, she has green skin.

Absurdly Sharp Blade: The Feather Sword chops through the monkey-like villains like they are made of tissue paper.

Art Evolution: Kit gets lips on page 62, and the overall style moves from Animesque to more realistic. Unusually, it's a deliberate and immediate shift rather than a gradual change. There are also more subtle changes as the comic goes on, especially to character designs. Kit in particular is noticeably more muscular in later comics. More recently, another major change seems to have taken place. The current designs are a bit of a hybrid between the two previous styles, with less exaggerated lips and more animesque expressions. Liz also lost the circles under her eyes. The exact point where it happened is hard to tell due to the shifting focus of characters during Chapter 8.
