* AsianAndNerdy / BollywoodNerd: Scott's tech support buddies Tan and Patel.

* HollywoodNerd: Gwen's brother Gavin. He's tall, blond, tan, buff, pretty, well spoken, but a complete fanboy who started out trying to get into comics as an artist before the near-apocalypse left him with a different career path.

* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Played with. Gwen and Scott have Detective Chimp in common: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin it's a cartoon about a chimp who solves crimes.]] Scott's grandfather was the voice actor for the titular character, and often took a young Scott to the monkey house at the zoo. And while a chimp is not technically a monkey, [[spoiler: Grandfather ends up possessing a chimp after his human body's death]].

* {{Adorkable}}: Scott who is shy, awkward, and puppyish.

* PettingZooPeople:
** Played straight: Ubasti, who is a leopard most of the time, and something between a leopard and a human once annually.
** Played with: Scott is a were-terrier who turns doggish and shaggy on the full moon, but retains his intelligence and is otherwise the same shy, sweet guy.

The series ended in 2012 due to Vertigo canceling the comic, but giving the story enough lead time to close out properly. TheCW created a Series/IZombie TV series, ''[[InNameOnly very]]'' [[InNameOnly loosely based]] on the comic. [[Series/OnceUponATime Rose]] [[Series/PowerRangersRPM McIver]] is the lead character, and [[Series/VeronicaMars Rob]] [[Series/PartyDown Thomas]] is showrunner.
