* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:The God King seeks to make one of these with evil gods to become a deity himself.]]
* EyeScream: At one point a giant gorilla monster has its eye knocked out.
* {{Gorn}}: The comic gets pretty violent at times with lots of blood, severed limbs and more. [[spoiler:Not to mention what happens to the BigBad...]]
* HardLight: Silkworm has the power to generate objects made of this, which he uses to save some of the Jawbreakers from falling to their deaths.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Hellpriest and Knife-Hand sacrifice themselves to help bring down the God King.]]
* LaserBlade: Knife-Hand has the power to create blades of energy with his hands, naturally.
* ManlyGay: Devil Dog. So manly, he could be mistaken for straight until the end where he is revealed to be in a romantic relationship with a sentient male gorilla.
* MsFanservice: Xaxi, whose outfit consists of a few thin strips of cloth and some jewelry. The author himself seems to have taken notice of this and made a poster featuring her one of the backer rewards.
* NailEm: At one point Knife-Hand nails Hellpriest's hands to the wall with a nailgun.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Most of the Jawbreakers have cool and/or threatening sounding names. You've got Hellpriest, Devil Dog, Kuffz, Knife-Hand, and Kill-Switch. Humorously, their leader goes by the comparatively mundane and unassuming name of Silkworm.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Xaxi's outfit, of course. It's basically just a few thin strips of cloth covering her naughty bits.
* StuffedIntoTheFridge: [[spoiler:Happens to Xaxi near the end.]]
* SunglassesAtNight: At least a few of the characters can be seen rockin' their cool shades at night. (Just look at that cover up there for an example.)
* XtremeKoolLetterz: Kuffz.
