Line 35:
* [[Continuity Porn]]
* [[Creator Backlash]]: At conventions, Busiek accompanies his signature on copies of ''Spider-Man/X-Factor: Shadowgames'' with the refrain, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: Writing not one, not two, but ''three'' Marvel titles in the mid-1990s - ''[[Iron Man]]'', ''[[The Avengers]]'' and ''[[Thunderbolts]]'' - and for the most part staying on schedule.
* [[Cryptic Background Reference]]: Most prevalent in the early issues of his original works, such as ''[[Astro City]]'' and ''Arrowsmith''. There are constant references to heroes, villains, and incidents that the readers have not seen yet -- and sometimes might never see.
* [[Day in the Life]]/[[A Day in the Limelight]]: Often appears when Busiek writes an ongoing series, and is a regular staple of ''[[Astro City]]''.
