Line 8:
He was a notorious victim and/or perpetrator of [[Executive Meddling]].
His work is known for non-linear storytelling, snark, meta-commentary, snark, deconstruction of the genre, snark, subtlety, snark, verbosity, snark, pith, snark, character driven plots, and snark. Or, if you prefer, [[Anachronic Order]], [[World of Snark]], [[Lampshade Hanging]], [[Leaning On the Fourth Wall]], [[Sarcasm Mode]], [[Deconstructive Parody]], [[The Snark Knight]], [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]], [[Vitriolic Best Buds]], [[Wall of Text]], [[Deadpan Snarker]], [[Wham! Line]], [[Snark to Snark Combat]], [[Character Development]], and [[Better Than a Bare Bulb]].
The absolute king of the [[Beat Panel]].
Line 61:
* [[Executive Meddling]]: Oh my yes. On pretty much everything he worked on, but ESPECIALLY at DC. He's also been on the Executive side of this trope, and he'd be the first to admit he was occasionally as guilty of this as anyone.
* [[Femme Fatale]]: Malice. Tempest (the one from Ray, not the one from Quantum And Woody). Malice. Titania (spoiler: actually Copycat). Malice. Fang. Malice. Have we mentioned Malice yet?
* [[First
* [[First-Person Smartass]]: Ross from [[Black Panther]].
* [[Five-Man Band]]: [[Justice League Task Force]]
Line 91:
* [[Name's the Same]]: This Christopher Priest is not the same person as the British novelist who wrote ''[[The Prestige]]''. It's partly to avoid confusion on this score that Owsley/Priest billed himself simply as "Priest" on some later works.
* [[Noble Demon]]: Much of the drama in later issues of [[The Ray]] comes from the question of whether Vandal Savage is this, a [[Complete Monster]], or an [[Anti-Villain]]. {{Spoiler| All of the above.}}
* [[No
* [[Obstructive Bureaucrat]]: Henry Peter Gyrich is the Government, Mister!
* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: Death Masque to Ray, White Wolf to Black Panther, Killmonger to Black Panther, Man-Ape to Black Panther...
