One day, [[Warren Ellis]] thought to himself that comic books were, comparably, a pretty expensive hobby. Spend the same amount of money on a movie or book, and not only would you be entertained for a longer period of time, but you'd get a whole story arc, to boot.

Fan reaction to ''Fell'' has been largely positive, not in the least due to an appreciation of Ellis' desire to keep prices down but still deliver a complete story with good art, and not resorting to cliffhangers or slow pacing to increase profits.

* [[Arc Words]]: Arc symbol, which is a protection symbol that is burned onto Richard Fell's neck in the first issue and seen scrawled on structures across Snowtown.
* [[Autopsy Snack Time]]: In one scene, the coroner of Snowtown eats his sandwich above a cadaver. One of the sandwich's tomatoes falls onto the cadaver; however, [[Nausea Dissonance|this doesn't stop the coroner from picking it back up and eating it.]]
* [[Crapsack World]]: Snowtown is an incredibly grim place. Somehow, Fell doesn't let that get to him.
* [[Dissonant Serenity]]: The suicide bomber, at least initially.

* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Detective Fell shot a man who was in the process of filling a grocery store's produce with sharp objects. "It was self defense. He was armed, after all, with Death Bananas."
* [[Klatchian Coffee]]: The "Death Coffee" from Mr. Yang the Food Pervert. ''"He melts a Hershey Bar into a pot of filter coffee, pours a 16oz and then drops a depth-charge of espresso on it. And maybe crystal meth. I don't know what feels worse: having one Death Coffee per day, or skipping it."''
