Metacomic

Metacomic is a metafictional comics style in which the characters realize that they are living in a comic. In a metacomic, the characters are able to take advantage of the comic's structure to progress in the storyline. In brief, metacomic is a comic about a comic.

Elements

• Using the comic structure as an advantage (making the characters travel across comic panels, interact with speech balloons and other panels, or using the characters' speech as a "real", solid object).
• Drawing the author themselves into the comic to act as a character and interact with other characters.
• Using direct help from the author (the author's "hand" might appear in the comic and draw a helpful object, delete enemies with an eraser, or touch/move the characters).

Examples

• Krazy Kat by George Herriman
• L'Origine by Marc-Antoine Mathieu
• Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud
• Opus by Satoshi Kon
• Deadpool in Marvel Comics
• The author of and characters from the webcomic Sinfest
• The creators of the graphic novel Logicomix
