Line 30:
* {{spoiler|[[Bolivian Army Ending]]}}: {{spoiler|The final page of the series shows Graves and Dizzy in the burning Medici manor. Dizzy lies in Graves' lap, possibly because of a spinal injury, and points a gun at his head.}}
* [[Book Ends]]: ''The Counterfifth Detective'' begins and ends with the same internal monologue.
* [[Boom! Headshot!]]: There are many. Wiley in particular pretty much only does headshots. Not a bullet wasted. Every shot has a point.
* [[Bottomless Magazines]]: Subverted.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Branch.
Line 92:
* [[Never Found the Body]]: {{spoiler|Lono, in the final issue.}}
* [[New Meat]]: Dizzy and Loop.
* [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown]]: In ''Hang Up On The Hang Low''.
* [[The Obi-Wan]]: Mr. Shepherd to Dizzy.
* [[Offhand Backhand]]: Lono walks out a door and casually kills a guy who is waiting for him with a gun. Lono simply crushes his trachea with one blow.
Line 105:
* [[Scary Black Man]]: Nine Train ''is'' this trope.
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: {{spoiler|Loop}} does this at the very end of the series.
* [[Shout -Out]]: The Minutemen are a gang of seven badass career criminals dressed in identical black suits and ties, who disband suddenly when they're involved in a crime gone wrong. [[Reservoir Dogs|Sounds familiar.]]
* [[Slasher Smile]]: Lono and Remi Rome.
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: Many characters look cool smoking, especially Shepherd.
* [[Suicide By Cop]]: {{spoiler|Milo, after not liking his Minuteman era memories purposely provokes a fight with Lono who shoots him dead.}})
* [[Sweet Tooth]]: Agent Graves is often seen eating pies, cakes, sweet drinks and popcorn while plotting.
* [[Teeth -Clenched Teamwork]]: The Minutemen are not exactly buddy-buddy with each other, or with Agent Graves. About the only thing most of them had in common is a rigid and personal moral code which they do not share with the others, so this is probably to be expected.
* [[Tomato in The Mirror]]: All but one of the Minutemen aren't even aware of their true nature when they are first introduced.
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: {{spoiler|various members of The Trust.}} {{spoiler|Graves in the second to last issue.}}
* [[Vigilante Man]]: Victor Ray kills criminals in his spare time to balance out the awful things he does on Graves' behalf.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Not an example of ''the'' villain, but {{spoiler|Lono loses much of his cocky attitude and smug demeanor after being run off the Medici premises by Benito of all people. He later starts ranting at his fellow Minutemen, screaming at them to just shoot each other and get out of his way. Then he is possibly killed by something he survived easily earlier in the comic.}}
* [[Who Shot JFK?]]: Dealt with in one issue that also partially introduces Milo. Whilst ''Joe [[Di Maggio]]'' is stated to be [[The Man On The Grassy Knoll]], he is not directly stated to be Kennedy's killer. Instead, Graves suggests he could have fired the killing shot, but there were also other people operating for reasons separate to [[Di Maggio]]'s that were in Dallas that day. Graves also adds that whether [[Di Maggio]] made the kill is beside the point, given he still got what he wanted, in the end.
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: The Trust no longer need The Minutemen during such a peaceful era and decide and try to kill them off. This ends... badly.
* [[You Got Spunk]]: Lono shows a more twisted variation of this trope after a woman spits in his face.
