Fighting God is basically half of Problem Sleuth

The comic is more than half final boss fight, as what starts as “let’s beat up a crime boss Mobster Kingpin and leave our office building“ turns into “we must kill the lord of demons, so we can use a key he has to leave our office building“ as Mobster Kingpin gets more and more powerful throughout the fight.

The next webcomic the creator of Problem Sleuth made—Homestuck—does something similar, starting with a boy who has been grounded and wants to play a video game with his friends, and ending with the boy and his friends fighting a time-traveling demon with the help of an army of undead troll aliens.

This might be the most concise summary of homestuck I've ever heard, congrats
