{{tropelist}}
* [[The Alcoholic]]: Ples stops by the liquor shop weekly, buys more than one man should need, and frequents bars to boot. But he apparently holds his liquor quite well.
* [[All There in the Manual]]: A lot of extra information and trivia comes from Q&As on the author's deviantART page. [http://community.livejournal.com/hinabn/17394.html#cutid1 Here's a good summary of the answers.]
Line 33 ⟶ 31:
* [[Blood From the Mouth]]: [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=34 Eight out of ten doctors do not approve of it.]
* [[Broken Hero]]: Tessa's DA sketches heavily imply {{spoiler|Hanna}} to be this.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Conrad. The author herself has stated that her favorite pairing is Conrad/Misery.▼
* [[Butterfly of Death and Rebirth]]: Used when [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=11 Zombie first meets Hanna], as they discuss Zombie's background. (Or lack thereof.)
▲* [[Butt Monkey]]: Conrad. The author herself has stated that her favorite pairing is Conrad/Misery.
* [[Captain Obvious]]: "''Good freaking Jesus'', this guy loves clocks." [[Lampshade|Lampshaded]] by {...}.
** Hanna pulls one at the very beginning: [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=5 Holy s***! You're dead!]
Line 42 ⟶ 40:
* [[Death Glare]]: [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=151 He's old enough to drink]. [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=184 And she only sings out of key when she's nervous.]
* [[Definitely Just a Cold]]: Hanna will insist he's fine after vomiting blood, collapsing and displaying some nasty scars.
* [[Demonic Possession]]: Happens to {{spoiler|Zombie}} although the possessor in question is not a demon, but a ghost.
* [[Design Student's Orgasm]]
* [[Don't Sneak Up On Me Like That]]: Veser meets the main characters this way in a haunted theatre.
* [[Drop the Hammer]]: Hanna uses an ordinary hammer that he's marked with runes to fight all kinds of supernatural creatures. It's shown to be just as effective at [[Mundane Utility|pulling out nails]] as it is at wounding a vampire.
** [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=187 Hanna, do you have your hammer?] [[Aggressive Negotiations|It's time to negotiate.]]
* [[Embarrassing Middle Name]]: Falk.
* [[Emergency Transformation]]: Conrad's transformation into a vampire.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: If you ask the fans, pretty much every male. [[Dr. Jerk|Worth,]] [[Troubled but Cute|Veser]] and [[The Stoic|{...}]] seem to be big targets.▼
** Not to mention Ples Tibenoch, who more or less had a sexytime following from the word "go". He's only been in a half-dozen strips so far, but the fanfics and fanart starring him number in the high double digits.▼
* [[Filk Song]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPzeZp7-JuY Paranormal Investigator {Still Walking}] would count. Includes a {{spoiler|[[Title Drop]]}} at the end.
* [[Flat What]]: [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=781 "Oh shi-! Conrad, you just gotta keep watch okay? You can't come in because you weren't invited."]
Line 56 ⟶ 52:
** People have already started shipping Conrad with vampire hunter Abner VanSlyk... who hasn't even ''appeared'' in the comic yet. In this case it's because Conrad is pretty much the whipping bitch of the series. He will get beaten up by, and paired with whatever the fandom thinks is funnier/hotter/more embarrassing for him at the time.
** Could also extend to [[Vitriolic Best Buds|Worth and Lamont]].
* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: [[Keet|Hanna]] and [[Hot
* [[
* [[Functional Magic]]
* [[Gilligan Cut]]: When bat-form Adelaide tells Conrad to leave, he animatedly expresses his feelings about leaving his own apartment. Next panel is of him and {...} sitting outside the door. "I hate that bat."
Line 67 ⟶ 64:
* [[The Hunter]]: Abner Van Slyk, <s>as-yet-unintroduced</s> [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=827 now introduced] hunter of vampires. All vampires. [http://vert-is-ninja.deviantart.com/art/Mercy-Kill-149264187?q=gallery%3Avert-is-ninja%2F10358202&qo=80 Even the wusses.]
* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: The chapter titles all begin with "[[In Which a Trope Is Described|In Which]]" and almost every page title is taken from a quote on the page.
* [[I'm Having Soul Pains]]: Hanna exhibits something like this when a ghost passes through him. He collapses, appears to be in sizable pain and loses consciousness for a while afterwards.
* [[Immortality Immorality]]: Subverted: Hanna converts Conrad into a vampire after he finds Conrad dead (or maybe only near death). Hanna is all wild-eyed and blood-spattered, and laughs rather maniacally when he succeeds, but still isn't portrayed as a bad person for it, although Conrad has [[I Hate You, Vampire Dad|mixed feelings]].
* [[Impairment Shot]]: Used at least twice--once when a ghost phased through Hanna and he fainted, and again when Worth woke up with a hangover.
* [[In Which a Trope Is Described]]: Each of the chapters has a title like this.▼
* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: Ples and Veser seem to be headed down this path, if concept sketches are to be believed.
▲* [[In Which a Trope Is Described]]: Each of the chapters has a title like this.
* [[The Ishmael]]: Zombie seems to be this for Hanna.
* [[Jerkass Facade]]: Conrad, absolutely.
* [[Journey to
* [[Left Hanging]]: As Tessa Stone hasn't been heard from in months, the comic is stuck in limbo, at least for now. She stopped updating when every major character was in mortal peril. {{spoiler|Zombie, Hanna, and Toni are locked with a questionably sane Ples (who just whipped out a gun and fired it), and Conrad's trapped with Lamont, Worth, and Adelaide trying to get to Hanna and escape Abner. Oh, and Veser ran out a while ago, and we never found out where he went.}}
* [[Manly Tears]]: Veser does his best to [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=551 pull this off], but winds up getting something between [[Manly Tears]] and [[Inelegant Blubbering]]. Whatever you call it, the scene's a real [[Tear Jerker]].
* [[Misfit Mobilization Moment]]: These misfits have so far failed to make a functional force, but they are all pretty... odd and seem to be lined up to form a [[True Companions|tight-knit group]].
* [[
** All the characters have a shade of red or orange on their designs somewhere.
** Crosses appear everywhere: on characters' clothes (Zombie's jacket sleeves, Conrad's necklace thing in the first chapter, Toni's hairpin, [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=447 Casimiro's eye]), in the backgrounds, sometimes the [[Odd
*** Hanna has a cross on the bottom of his [http://vert-is-ninja.deviantart.com/art/After-All-This-Time-155094756 shoe], with a matching scar.
*** When Hanna sews {...}'s arm back on, he uses a [[Incredibly Lame Pun|cross-stitch]]. [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=118 It's even highlighted in white against a black silhouette.]
▲* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: If you ask the fans, pretty much every male. [[Dr. Jerk|Worth,]] [[Troubled but Cute|Veser]] and [[The Stoic|{...}]] seem to be big targets.
▲** Not to mention Ples Tibenoch, who more or less had a sexytime following from the word "go". He's only been in a half-dozen strips so far, but the fanfics and fanart starring him number in the high double digits.
* [[Noodle People]]: Even [[Word of God|Tessa]] has described most of her male cast members as being "heroin thin".
* [[Occult Detective]]: Hanna's profession, and now Zombie's. How good Hanna is at his job is... debatable, thus far.
* [[Odd Friendship]]: It looks like Veser and {{spoiler|Ples Tibenoch}} might become this. Casimiro and Finas have been practically inseparable for centuries, though their vastly different personalities cause many to wonder how they even tolerate each other.
* [[Odd
* [[Off-Model]]: In the beginning, {...}'s face often looked different in every panel. See [[Art Evolution]].
* [[Orphaned Series]]: Until further notice.
* [[Our Ghosts Are Different]]: And ''[http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=190 how.]''
* [[Our Zombies Are Different]]: Hanna [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=611 used the Z-word.]
* [[Painting the Fourth Wall]]
* [[Peek
▲* [[Power Trio]]: Hanna, Conrad, and the zombie. Unpredictable but brilliant Hanna is [[The Kirk]], [[Only Sane Man]] Conrad is [[The McCoy]], and the imperturbably calm zombie is [[The Spock]].
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: Though the characters swear plenty of times in the comic, it's usually censored. The [[Symbol Swearing]] is dropped during more tense moments to reflect the seriousness of the situation.
** Hanna delivers an uncensored F-strike when trying to [[Emergency Transformation|bring Conrad back to life]]. [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=89 It works.]
Line 100 ⟶ 98:
** And a well-deserved one from Veser [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=734 here].
* [[Psychotic Smirk]]: {{spoiler|Ples.}}
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: The vampires.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Hanna (red) and Zombie (blue). Also Casimiro (red) and Finas (blue).
** Visually reversed at the start of Chapter 3 due to the nighttime lighting. Hanna is blue (in moonlight) and Zombie is red (because of his [[Glowing Eyelights of
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: {{spoiler|Toni's werewolf form}} is usually something along the lines of a [[Big Badass Wolf]], but due to {{spoiler|her power source being damaged, she}} takes ''[http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=762 this]'' form.
** Also, ''[http://hanna.aftertorque.com/wp-content/gallery/hannarts/conrad_isabat.jpg Conbat.]''
* [[Running Gag]]:
Line 109 ⟶ 107:
** [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=175 The Smile] [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=187 Tally] also seems to have the potential to become this.
** Hanna is not a kid, he [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=151 is] [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=717 24], dammit!
* [[Samus Is a Girl]]: [[Inverted]] in the [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=4 first] [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=5 two] strips, of course, and played straight [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=23 with Adelaide].
* [[Schedule Slip]]: While there is no set schedule, there hasnt been any sort of update on the comic or word from the artist in a year.
* [[Selkies and Wereseals]]: Veser is the son of a selkie and the man who stole her skin.
* [[Ship Tease]]: May we again draw your attention to [http://pics.livejournal.com/wailord_mf/pic/000013ww this] quick doodle from Tessa during a livestream?
** Are we forgetting all of those 'bromance' strips between Hanna and Zombie?
* [[Shout
* [[Sliding Scale of Comedy and Horror]]
* [[Stealth Pun]]: Hanna can do magic by drawing symbols with his marker. {{spoiler|It's a magic marker.}}
Line 133 ⟶ 131:
** Conrad actually has admitted that he likes Hanna. Hanna's just a bit...excitable.
* [[Weirdness Magnet]]: according to Toni, [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=767 Hanna].
* [[Who Dunnit to Me?]]: {{spoiler|{...} was apparently murdered, and he did come back in (more or less) one piece. He seems genuinely disinterested in questioning how or why he was killed, or who was responsible; but the fans and other cast members exhibit a healthy curiosity.}}
* [[With Friends Like These...]]: Doc seems to think he and Conrad are friends, anyway, though the sentiment is probably not mutual.
** [[Vitriolic Best Buds|Worth and Lamont]] show their love by beating the daylights out of each other on what appears to be a fairly frequent basis.
*** And then [http://vert-is-ninja.deviantart.com/art/Sorta-Maybe-A-Little-Sorry-159680694 apologize like little kids].
