Awesome Art: Bleedman's detailed and complex artwork tends to be one of the few positive things (most) people can agree on about the comic.
Common Knowledge: A lot of people, even on This Very Wiki, seem to be under the assumption that Drax from After Birth is Dexter from Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi after a Face–Heel Turn (possibly caused by the grief of losing Blossom); however, this picture Bleedman put out, along with several other factors (like the fact that he claims to have killed Dee Dee, when in PPGDher death was the result of a Heroic Sacrifice), seem to confirm that he's actually Dexter's counterpart from the Powerpunk Girls' world.
Contested Sequel: After Birth isn't even out yet (and may not be for some time to come), but already some have voiced their immense dislike of it simply stemming from the rumours surrounding problems in its production. The comic is completed but has hit a final snag with publishing. Many feel that the sequel's high ambitions is enough reason for it to suck.
It seems like hardly anyone can stop themselves from telling Junior and thus the audience how great Minnie is, at least when she's onstage. Mostly in the earlier chapters; later they're more likely to talk about how powerful she is instead. Both kinds get very tiresome. Possibly inverted as the author's plan all along was to kill her in her first actual battle.
Come Chapter 8, we have Chi, the daughter of Aku who was a breath of fresh air for the readers at first due to her plan to bust Mimi out of Castle Grim, not to mention being hinted for a very long time to be Blossom's reincarnation which explains her infatuation with Mimi. Sadly, due to an infamous filler 11-page segment that ran from late May 2016 to late September 2016, a total of 4 months which in webcomic time is practically an eternity while at the same time making up a majority of the filler pages whenever she appears later on. Combine that with the fact that the comic goes by a page-by-page update, the entire plot was reduced to a snail's pace.
Cry for the Devil: Considering whatever Mandy did to Mimi, it's hard not to. Namely, she tricks Mimi into using Horror's Hand, which shows her her worst nightmare. For Mimi, it's being forced to relive the day everyone she cared about, sans her mother and Jeff, died, and she was permanently ripped away from her mother Blossom in the process.
This webcomic features Chi, the daughter of Aku. Years later, when Samurai Jack was renewed for a fifth season, a major part of the new plotline was that Jack is tracked down by the seven daughters of Aku.
Likewise brought back Demongo as a severed head to serve Chi. In the fifth episode of season five, it's revealed Demongo is still alive.
Also Aku in here is pretty much as apathetic/depressed in here as he was shown in Season 5, though for a different reason. Inversely, Season 5 has Jack being immortal due to time travel. The second reason both of them stay low was because they were worried about his sword, not knowing that something happened to it that would make them jump right back into action upon finding out. In Season 5, it was being lost while in Grim Tales, it got turned into an Unholy Holy Sword.
Jerkass Woobie: Junior. He later turns into regular woobie after his Heel Realization, coming to terms with the fact that he caused a lot of trouble and that his sister died for his actions and is now trying to kill him for helping a friend instead of spending time with her.
Narm: Early in the comic, Mandy cuts her own throat. It's presented for drama... but it's a flashback, so we all know it didn't stick. (The next page has Grim inform her she won't die until he feels like it.) It comes across as a drastic attempt to milk emotional response.
Overshadowed by Controversy: The flashback depicting Mandy perpetrating the September 11th attacks, as well as Bleedman's hostile responses to the criticism this attracted, note The chapter that had this particular flashback was released only a few years after the attacks, so it was still fresh in a lot of people's minds at the time. is the reason most people have ever even heard of this comic.
Squick: Junior's birth (read: abortion) explained in extremely graphic detail.
Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: There's not really any character that can be defined as The Hero or all that heroic of the comic. The few that were heroic are either long dead, like Blossom, Raven, Irwin, and Hoss, are regularly put through the wringer, like Junior and Jeff, or have been broken beyond belief, like Mimi. Even characters like Minnie, who started off kind and sweet, get twisted and become more evil as the series goes on.
