Line 57:
* [[Power Born of Madness]]: prime example of the [[Reality Warper]] ("forge what you need on the smithy of your soul".) Shade began merely poetic, and therefore only insane to his native culture, so he was able to survive being flung through the Area of Madness relatively sane. With time on Earth, [[It Got Worse|he got much madder]].
* [[Reality Warper]]: Shade
* [[Ret -Gone]]: In the final issues of the series, Shade ([[Writer On Board|and Milligan]]) attempted to invert this, and remove Kathy's tragic backstory {{spoiler|and murder}}.
* [[Rewriting Reality]]: One arc features an inversion: anything that frustrated writer Miles Laimling wrote would be fictional, even if it were true before. Miles drew inspiration from personalities around him, and as their traits became more lifelike in his fiction, those traits would fade from the individuals they were inspired from.
* [[Sarcasm Failure]]: Lenny is always good for a snark, no matter how dire the situation. Her [[Sarcasm Failure]] was a result of an author, an unwitting personality plunderer, who had written her into his book, and shocked her enough to drive her to a suicide attempt.
Line 72:
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?]]
* [[Who Dunnit to Me?]]: Story Arc 'The Road'.
* [[Who Shot JFK?]]: The second and third issue give us a Sphinx with JFK's head that asks people this question and eats them when they're unable to answer. The JFK-Sphinx's madness is fueled by a Kennedy admirer-turned conspiracy theorist. In the end, he's forced to ask the question, {{spoiler|and says we're all responsible, for letting the President's death overshadow his life}}, but the real truth is {{spoiler|confronting the manifestation of his obsession allows him to come to terms with the death of his young daughter, which he can only blame on life's unfairness}}.
* [[Who Would Want to Watch Us?]]: In the final issues, after [[The DCU|DC]] had decided to cancel, Lenny is describing Shade to her father.
