{{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 57 ⟶ 53:
** Could also extend to [[Vitriolic Best Buds|Worth and Lamont]].
* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: [[Keet|Hanna]] and [[Hot-Blooded|Veser]] are sanguine, [[Dr. Jerk|Doc]] and [[Our Vampires Are Different|Casimiro]] are choleric, [[Your Vampires Suck|Conrad]] and [[Our Ghosts Are Different|Lee]] are melancholic and [[Sugar and Ice Personality|{...}]] and [[Our Werewolves Are Different|Toni]] are phlegmatic.
* [[
* [[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-Shaped Panel|panels themselves]], and the title graphic. Cross is also the main character's last name.
*** 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-Shaped Panel]]: So, so much.
* [[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 102 ⟶ 100:
* [[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-Out]]: To [[Silent Hill]], of all things; 312 appears as the door number for both Doc Worth's... "practice," and Ples' house.
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.
