And Shine Heaven Now (canonically abbreviated as Shine) is a fancomic for the anime Hellsing. It picks up at the end of the TV series, and roughly follows that version of the canon; however, it has incorporated some elements of canon from the manga (which is ongoing), and will make similar adaptions upon the release of the OVA.
In addition to Hellsing characters, the comic features cameos from numerous series (including Revolutionary Girl Utena, Pet Shop of Horrors, and Sailor Moon) and a few recurring original characters. It is currently in the midst of a major crossover with Read or Die, conceived and co-written by Xuanwu of Okashina Okashi.
The comic is remarkable in part because Hellsing is, essentially, horror, full of blood and death and baby-eating Nazi vampires. Shine takes the characters, relationships, and situations of this horrific manga and then uses them to write light, comedic, sometimes almost sitcom-esque stories. The contrast is interesting, especially since the comic is very well-written.
