* FantasyKitchenSink: So far, there are vampires (and not just one type, either), dinosaurs, mermaids, mad scientists, Frankenstein monsters, chupacabras, werewolves, ghouls, mothman, demons, Eldritch horrors (including SlenderMan) and land-walking dolphins. Concept art suggests there are also gorgons, wendigos, fish people and giant land-dwelling octopi.

Added DiffLines:

* RetroUniverse: Though the comic's setting was basically analogous to the present day in our universe, the show is going to feature contemporary technology mixed with a mish-mash of modern and 20th century aesthetics.
* SchizoTech: New concept art for the animated series showing character props for Shaz and Murray features a combination PC-tablet made out of the kind of hard plastic computers were made of in the 90's, and an iPhone with a rotary dial.
