!! ''Models, Inc.'' contains the following tropes:
* BigBad: [[spoiler:Sachet Nelson]] is revealed to be behind the murders and attacks.
* ContinuityNod: As well as the references within the stories, there are a few jokes on the magazine-style covers.
* The cover of the second issue hails the “sixty-year-old metal blast from the past” M-11 (the robot member of the original Agents of Atlas) for inspiring a rethink of modern designs.
* *The cover of the third issue promises "616+ ways to make your costume look like more than just tights!". The Franchise/MarvelUniverse is referred to in-universe as Earth-616.
* TheGhost: There are a few references to billionaire Kyle Richmond (the civilian identity of superhero Nighthawk). The models are staying in his mansion, Captain Norell's speaking to him off-panel in the first issue, and he's involved in a chastity auction. But he never actually appears in the story, and his dual identity is just a ContinuityNod that's irrelevant to the plot.
* PackagedAsOtherMedium: The covers are designed to look like fashion magazines rather than comics.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: At several points in the series thugs assume that Patsy's a model so not much of a threat. As she's also the superhero Hellcat, this tends to be a painful mistake.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Photographer Todd Speers is introduced as a friend and co-worker of the models, as well as one of Chili's exes. He's dead by the end of the first issue and the investigation into his murder is the core of the plot.
* WolverinePublicity: The cover star for the third issue is [[Characters/MarvelComicsMaryJaneWatson Mary Jane Watson]], long-term love interest for ComicBook/SpiderMan, but she plays very little part in the actual story.
