Each chapter is a stand-alone arc, but each contributes to the ongoing story of the Agency and introduces new facets of the world. The comic also features a large ensemble cast (there have been at least 30 named characters in the comic's two-and-a-half year existence) and a healthy mix of human drama, paranormal weirdness, and action sequences.

-----
* ActionGirl: Mawa qualifies, though Asuka makes her look like an amateur.
* AerithAndBob: The Agency is a global organization, so we have people named Nick, Lilith, and Russell working alongside people named Uche, Mawa, Rix, and Fionn Mac Cumhaill.
* {{Anticlimax}}: At the end of Chapter 1, the villain has won. The Agents cannot stop him. As they watch helplessly, he completes the ritual that might make him omnipotent or end this universe. [[spoiler:Unfortunately for him, nobody was aware that the victim he sacrificed for a virgin's blood, um, wasn't a virgin.]]
* AntiHero: Nick seems to be a Type II upon his introduction, but is looking more like a Type III/Type IV after that [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique scene with Arkady]].
* ArtifactOfDoom: The Book of the Void/Codex Anathema.
-->''Imagine a book with so much knowledge no two groups could agree on its name. Imagine a book that had information you could never get from any scientist, theologian, or supercomputer. Now imagine that every word and diagram in that book was designed to murder and torture you and everyone you ever really loved.
* BlackEyesOfCrazy: The Society member in Chapter 2. The other Society members presumably have them too, but opaque sunglasses are apparently standard issue.
* BlatantLies: Lilith has a knack for them, belting off a few during Chapter 4. One is used to coerce a confession from a suspect.
* BloodMagic: Comes up at the end of Chapter 1. Near the beginning of Chapter 2, the Dust Witch [[spoiler:powers her spell with Ahmed's ''soul'']].
* ClownCarBase: The Agency operates out of the Corridor, [[spoiler:a massive, castle-like structure with doors that connect to doors all across the planet]].
* ConspiracyTheorist: Russell is introduced as one. Chapter 2 explains ''why'' he's one.
* CurbStompBattle: Asuka spent her first appearance murdering half a dozen Yakuza gangsters in an open gunfight. She spent her ''second'' appearance humiliating who one character describes as "the world's best hand-to-hand fighter."
* DeadLittleSister: Achmed and Walid's sister's death kicks off the plot of Chapter 2. Interestingly, her death also motivates Russell throughout the arc.
* {{Determinator}}: Mawa, Mawa, ''Mawa''.
* EverythingsDeaderWithZombies: Chapter 2 hovers between this and ZombieApocalypse. There's no chance of worldwide upheaval, but it's certainly apocalyptic to the soldiers that are in the middle of it.
* FantasyKitchenSink: In just under two hundred pages, we've seen time-space distortions, brain monsters, witches living in inhospitable wilderness, evil rituals, demons, nanotech viruses, one of TheGreys, an undead horde, and a mythological giant.
* FunctionalMagic: Rhine has an inherent gift. Other magic that we've seen either leans towards or is completely rule magic.
* GovernmentConspiracy: The Society is looking like this, though Metal claims that they're a larger power than any government.
* TheGreys: The Agency has one working for them. She is a female.
* HotWitch: The Dust Witch. Though she takes the "usually at least somewhat benevolent" portion of the trope, beats it unconscious, and leaves it for dead in an alley.
* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Nick's basically doing this to Arkady already... before he pins the human-formed demon to the floor and pulls out a multi-tool with a huge grin.
* {{Jerkass}}: Mawa counts, though she's a mild example so far.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] by Asuka. She gets into a katana fight with Shiro, but only after trying to kill him with a rifle and a handgun first.
* LeavingYouToFindMyself: [[spoiler:Wheeler declares her love to Russell... but he leaves her so he can pursue his newfound mission of fighting the Society.]]
* MagicalNegro: Uche is ''literal'' magical negro, as he's a trained mage, but [[SubvertedTrope isn't actually an example himself.]]
* TheMenInBlack: The Society are archetypal MIBs. The Society agent featured in "No Survivors" is able to bully a full-bird colonel and [[spoiler:executes him and a ranking general to silence the zombie outbreak in Animus Base]].
* {{NGO}}: The Agency is looking like this, but they have enough power to override the jurisdiction of American agencies on American soil.
* NiceGuy: Uche, Rhine, and Danny.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: Shooting the zombies in the head doesn't actually accomplish much. Even shotgunning a zombie to pieces doesn't truly stop them, as the shreds keep trying to kill the the living. The Society agent's gun, though, drops them and keeps them down.
* PerpetualSmiler: Nick's only expressions are smiles. Usually bemused smirks, occassionally warm smiles, often [[SlasherSmile slasher smiles]], and more than a few [[PsychoticSmiles psychotic smirks]], but he only ever shows smiles. The Dust Witch also qualifies, but she only appears for a handful of pages.
* PermaStubble: Nick.
* RelationshipReveal: [[spoiler:Colin, the victim from Chapter 1, and Rhine Liebowitz.]]
* TheSyndicate: The trope name is dropped as the name of a faction in the comic's universe, but what it is or does has yet to be revealed.
* TortureAlwaysWorks: At least it works on Arkady/[[spoiler:Zan'Terr'yx]], though it could be justified by his [[spoiler:non-human]] psychology.
* WhamLine: Russell delivers one at the end of the flashback in Chapter 2.
-->''Oh, Wheeler, you really don't understand, do you? None of us. None of us survived.''
* WouldntHurtAChild: The translator amongst Russell's squad wouldn't, and it ends up getting him shot. That forces Russell to shoot her, but [[InterruptedSuicide he doesn't take it well.]]
* {{Yakuza}}: Asuka makes her appearance by killing a half-dozen of them. The dialogue implies she's been doing this for a while.
