Line 14:
* [[Big Badass Wolf]]: [[Captain Obvious|The title character for one]]. But there are a number of other werewolf characters that appear and unsurprisingly fit this trope.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Go ahead, [[Papa Wolf|try to harm Gary's daughter]] Chloe.
** Alternatively [[No
* [[BFG]]: At various points characters tote these. Also Mecha-Maid [[Adaptive Armor|can become one]].
* [[Blood Is the New Black]]: It's often easier to count the times we see Gary without blood on him, than with. Just part of the [[Gorn]].
Line 47:
* [[Left Hanging]]: {{spoiler|Dracula}} is introduced...in the last issue ever.
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: Wolf-man and an ensemble of [[Badass|badasses]] have one of these before storming a research center.
* [[Look What I Can Do Now!]]: Gary when he {{spoiler|fights Zechariah and uses his training to bite off Zech's arm for good.}}
* [[Millitary Rank Superhero Villain Names]]: Sergeant Superior, one of the Actioneers.
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Gary goes through this when he realizes {{spoiler|''[[Consummate Liar|Zechariah]]'' has been lying and keeping things from him.}}
* [[Never Got to Say Goodbye]]
* [[No
* [[Oh Crap]]: {{spoiler|When Gary is caught at sunrise while he's mourning over Rebecca's grave.}}
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: Zechariah's vampiric powers come straight out of typical lore, including being able to turn into bats and mist, but his personality is much more layered and he appears to be more compassionate than common vampires, as he takes on a mentor role with Gary in the early issues. {{spoiler|Until he turns into a straight-up villain after his [[Face Heel Turn]] anyway.}}
Line 67:
* [[Terrible Trio]]: ''"Triple Threat"'' Construct is plainly the most competent one, the other two are goons.
* [[Training From Hell]]: {{spoiler|Gary's vampire-killing training is pretty awful. Particularly the training of his healing powers which involves being '''DISEMBOWELED''' by the Elder!}}
* [[Unhand Them, Villain!]]: A hilarious example. The villain, trying to be [[Genre Savvy|genre savvy]], insists that if he drops the hostage off of the ledge he will be able to get away because Wolf-man will be too busy saving the hostage. So when villain drops the hostage Wolf-man lunges over the edge... and brings the villain with him!
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Gary/ Wolf-man has an exceptional number of these.
* [[Wham! Episode|Wham Issue]]: Issue #7, mainly for its ending. The entire premise of the series changes completely after this issue. This is also the moment things get [[Darker and Edgier]].
* [[Women in Refrigerators]]: Hoo-boy, trademark example with {{spoiler|Gary's wife, Rebecca}}. Chances are your most prominent memory of her is {{spoiler|her head turned almost backwards as she lies in an unnecessarily big pool of blood with vampire bites in her neck.}} That haunts Gary and drives the remainder of the story throughout the entire run.
* [[You're Not My Father]]: Deconstructed a bit in that Chloe actually believes her father's lycanthropy has changed him into a new 'person,' {{spoiler|the 'person' who killed her mother.}}
