- The general sense of unease and paranoia that permeates the series, due to not knowing who is already converted and who's not.
- Some of the deaths can get pretty brutal, like Zan of the Wonder Twins getting blended in a Green Lantern construct, Superboy being split in half (vertically) by two of his turned friends or Anton Arcane having his spine ripped off.
- Special mention of Flash's demise: Hal gets him to put his guard down and, under the pretense of having a normal conversation with his friend, has him sit in a Green Lantern construct that he later uses to immobilize him. Barry is unable to phase through the construct and unsuccesfully tries to plead with his friend, but in the end he can only watch in horror as Hal breaks his neck.
- Mary Marvel and Captain Marvel's confrontation is one of the more heartwrenching and terrifying moment in the series, due to how it's build up:
- Throughout the story, we discover that Mary and Billy's Shazam forms are separate from their human bodies, which means turning one doesn't necessarily mean turning the other.
- They fight and Captain Marvel tells Mary to finish her journey and become a vampire in both forms so they can be a family again. She's having none of it. Meanwhile, Booster Gold asks himself if the siblings scould truly hurt each other.
Booster Gold: She could be okay, right? Even now, he wouldn't... She's his sister. She's his siter.- Captain Marvel was vampirized in his superpowered form, while Mary Broomfield was turned in her human one. While she uses her Mary Marvel form to sidestep the infection, during their fight Mary has no other option other than saying Shazam! which turns them both into their "normal" forms.
- Human Billy doesn't remember what his other half did other than it's bad. For him it's been like having a nightmare.
- Mary then appears from the darkness, with glowing red eyes. She hugs him an tells him everything is going to be alright.
Mary Broomfield: (as she's about to sink her fangs into his neck) No more nightmares ever again, I promise.- The thirst takes over her and she bites him. When she goes back to the group, she's got blood over her mouth and asks them to kill her as she admits she doesn't know much longer will she be able to fight the thirst.
