Academicon Ex Virtus is an Urban Fantasy webcomic written and illustrated by Kai Lynk.
Akaino is a young werewolf who even amongst the magical community is a bit of an outcast. Suddenly an ordinary girl manages to find and enroll in his school, even though by all mystical accounts, she shouldn't even be able to see it.
It follows 'Akaino' Fenrir Vingethor, born of a union between a werewolf and a fire mage, and Anya Siberna, the only 'Normal' human girl at a school for 'Mages and demon-spawn', which the comic is named after.
The update schedule is erratic, with comics supposedly due out every Friday, but tends to have lapses in authorship, with the author citing 'computer woes'.
It began publication on August 17, 2010.
Tropes used in Academicon Ex Virtus include:
- Art Evolution: Compare this to this
- Animesque
- Cute Little Fangs: Akaino in pretty much any scene with his mouth open.
- Fan Girl: Anya. She's done nothing but hang off of Akaino since she showed up at the school.
- Our Werewolves Are Different: Akaino, obviously. Though not much reference has been made to it, he doesn't really seem like your typical lycanthrope.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: Except here
- The Glomp: as seen here
- Half-Human Hybrid: As revealed in his character profile, Akaino's parents were a Mage and a Werewolf. Assuming Mages are human, that qualifies him for this trope.
- Kill It with Fire: Akaino, first scene.
- Unfazed Everyman: Anya.
