History Webcomic / EvilDiva

* SeriousBusiness: Pretty much the entire comic after the TimeSkip. Diva fights guys with katanas on their backs who are wandering around perfectly ordinary city streets, discusses life with HippieJesus, discovers she can do anything she wants in a [[AlternateUniverse universe made just for her]], [[FreakyFridayFlip switches bodies with a friend]] for no reason, and just generally proceeds from one insane situation to the next without ever cracking a smile or a joke. The comic is about the serious life consequences of these actions and the drama that occurs because of them. [[SeriousBusiness Super serious business.]] This is likely due to the comic's setting not originally being intended for emotional drama, which is another reason why the TimeSkip has caused a great deal of MoodWhiplash.

''[[http://www.evildivacomics.com/ Evil Diva]]'' is a webcomic by Peter Menotti and Joe Cashman - drawn by Cassandra Wedeking and inked by Creator/SeverinPiehl. It's set in a modern world where angels and demons go to school and work together. Starring the titular Diva Beelze, an average 12-year-old girl who although being a devil, can only find herself doing good things for others.

* SeeNoEvilHearNoEvil: In issue ten, Diva is brought to an extremely crowded party. Bodies are pressed against one another so tightly that she and her sister, Tia, practically need a snowplow to get through in some panels. However, after Diva sits down with [[MonsterOfTheWeek compulsive rapist Tommy]], the action focuses in on the two of them. The massive clusters of other people vanish from the room mysteriously, and soon [[spoiler: Tommy decides now would be as good a time as any to go to prison for raping a little girl]]. The struggle goes on for a whole page without a single other person in the room noticing, even with Diva shouting at the top of her lungs (although Tia, who went outside, can hear Diva just fine). Then, miraculously, [[spoiler: Diva summons her magical wand into her hand]], an action which creates a small popping noise. We get a reaction shot from the other party goers. The ones that were standing there next to the entire thing the whole time. Now that the audience can see them, suddenly they're shocked about a [[AttemptedRape rape]] situation going on ten feet from where they're standing.

* MeaningfulEcho: Issue Seven's first pages are a MeaningfulEcho of the first pages of the comic. In the beginning, Diva was shy and scared to go to school. In Issue Seven, Diva is the exact opposite. [[spoiler: However, it is later revealed that this is only because Diva's mind has been altered by entering an AlternateUniverse, which is hard to tell at first because the comic also began a TimeSkip at the exact same time.]]

Or this was the initial plot of the comic. After losing a staff member on the production team, there has since been a TimeSkip. The comic is now about a fifteen year-old girl in a new setting. The comic, which was previously light-hearted, is now about the SeriousBusiness of being a SuperHero in issue seven, [[LoveTriangle complicated]] [[LesYay teen]] [[FreakyFridayFlip romance]] in issue nine, and [[AttemptedRape tricky personal introductions]] in issue ten. Officially, the comic is about fighting crime with the power of balance.

* PromotedFanboy: The pencils and inking have recently been passed off to Cassandra W. and Severin, who came to the creator's attention with Cassandra's fanart.

* ScheduleSlip

* BrokenBase: This occured when the comic first [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks changed]] artist, tone, and timeline. Some accepted the new turn, others complained. The division widened when the main protagonist was teleported directly into the clutches of a [[MonsterOfTheWeek compulsive rapist]] named Tommy. Apparently, some fans will turn on a comic when the writer repeatedly puts a [[UnacceptableTargets naive little girl]] in sexual situations and finally [[AttemptedRape assaults]] her with an older man. Who knew?
** This really was not helped by the writer's extended DearNegativeReader to all the fans who complained about the new storyline in addition to a new schedule that depended on donations.

* IdiotPlot: The entire cause of conflict for issue nine is based on downright mysterious character motivations, and it is also 100% caused by the main characters doing something that, by all logical accounts, was uncalled for.

* LesYay: [[http://www.evildivacomics.com/?p=1669 Here.]]

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Evil Diva hasn't just made a small change like adding a new character, but the comic has enjoyed a TimeSkip, a bit of MoodWhiplash, and a completely new artist. The result is a lot of unhappy fans. To add to the conflagration, one of the comic's writers, Joe, has publicly declared that the fans not liking the changes are part of the FanDumb.
