* {{Expy}}: Most obviously Deuce to the Creator/SeanConnery's Film/JamesBond, and Johhny Barracuda to Creator/BruceCampbell, but much of the first arc also reads like an extended homage to GIJoe, with The Hammer standing in for Cobra, Agent Zero for Snake Eyes, Assassin X for Storm Shadow, [[spoiler: Natalia Kassle]] for the Baroness... Heck, even some of the vehicles that appear look like they were directly inspired by classic Joe or Cobra craft.

Infamous FanService comic artist J. Scott Campbell's first solo foray into the comic world, ''Danger Girl'' is notorious for many reasons, two of which are the ridiculous amount of cheesecake in the book, and the lengthy timeframe between issues, sometimes exceeding a year. The series is a satirical, yet sometimes dark, take on the espionage genre, and centered on Abigail Chase, a former treasure seeker who gets sucked into the Danger Girl team by happenstance when their paths cross during her encounters with a hostile nemesis. Abbey, as she was mostly known, pretty much played the straight woman to the rest of the quirky team.
