Line 6:
''White Noise'' updates on Mondays ([[Schedule Slip|or used to]]) and has full-color art. It's worth a look for fans of the superhero, scifi, or post-apocalyptic genres.
 
Not to be confused with the [[White Noise (Literaturenovel)|postmodern novel]] by Don Delillo of the same name, nor the 2004 film starred by Michael Keaton.

Line 14:
* [[Apocalypse How]]: Class 4. The aliens ''stopped the rotation of the Earth'', causing everything not directly attached to bedrock to be thrown into the atmosphere and the air itself to ignite due to the massive friction. The only survivors were those on the three space stations. In the present, Earth is inhabitable, but barely.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Lawler.
* [[Badass Abnormal]]: Wren manages to fight off several armed guards despite suffering from starvation, dehydration, exhaustion and murk poisoning. [https://web.archive.org/web/20110703214535/http://www.wncomic.com/archive_comments.php?strip_id=175 In another fight] a character remarks "You must be running on fumes, if you were at 100%, even 50% I'd be toast already." Justified as he was probably built as a [[Super Soldier]].
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Wren in the later chapters. Also Lawler, for a crazy value of [[Badass]].
* [[Belly Dancer]]: Anna.
Line 22:
* [[Bishounen]]: Wren, oh so very much.
** Lampshaded at one point:
{{quote| '''Wren:''' [http://www.wncomic.com/archive_comments.php?strip_id{{=}}55 *points to his face* No amount of skills will turn this pretty face into a bounty hunter.]}}
** Anna glomps them.
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: In a moment when he's caught off guard, Lawler seems to look [https://web.archive.org/web/20110120094838/http://www.wncomic.com/archive_comments.php?strip_id=181&dsq=25344253#comment-25344253 directly at the audience] in shock. Since he's also the resident [[Psycho for Hire|crazy]], for him to be breaking the fourth wall seems pretty acceptable.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: {{spoiler|Shole's watch.}}
* [[Fan Service]]: Anna's bellydancing scene, and Anna and Wren's Christmas backgrounds.
Line 42:
* [[Psycho for Hire]]: Lawler, who is flat out nuts, a sociopath, and probably sadistic. Only his loyalty to Hebe keeps him in check.
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Lawler, to a degree.
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20110120215933/http://www.wncomic.com/archive_comments.php?strip_id=132 "Would you like some paper?" "Nope."]
* [[Punched Across the Room]]: Lawler gets, well, thrown across the room- er... rooftop. Possibly by {{spoiler|telepathy, or some kind of forcefield - but still technically by Wren's hands.}}
* [[Recurring Dreams]]: Wren has recurring dreams during which he visits with Winter.
Line 49:
* [[Talking in Your Dreams]]: It's implied that Winter may be real and that the dreams are how he communicates with Wren.
* [[Terraform]]: The aliens attempted to terraform Earth after destroying everything on the surface. Their efforts resulted in the poisonous (to humans, anyway) clouds of Murk that roam the surface.
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: What seems to have happened to Wren in the [https://web.archive.org/web/20110120094838/http://www.wncomic.com/archive_comments.php?strip_id=181&dsq=25344253#comment-25344253 most recent update].
* [[Unsound Effect]]: What does a glare sound like? We don't know either.
* [[We Come in Peace, Shoot Toto Kill]]: The aliens who visited Earth a century ago wanted to do genetic experimentation on humans. When the humans resisted, they killed every last one on the surface. Oh, and everything else living on Earth, too.
* [[The Wall Around the World]]: The Wall around the States. The citizens within hate and fear those who live outside and only bounty hunters are allowed in or out.
