* LowerHalfReveal: The young Norse gods are sent to school where the Goddess Hel is their homeroom teacher. She outwardly takes the form of a sympathetic and approachable girl at most in her early twenties. But she is also the Goddess of Death and, as she reminds her students, has a MeaningfulName. When some of the boys in her class develop the inevitable crush and begin to behave inappropriately, she employs Shock Therapy to get them out of it and shows them exactly why [[FanDisservice she never wears anything other than fully covering jeans on her lower body]]. [[note]] The Goddess Hel is half living woman and half rotting corpse. In this webcomic, Hel is fully living female ''from the waist up''. When her jeans come off, the boys are suitably horrified.[[/note]]

* MythologyGag: ''Literally''. A substantial part of the humor is built around poking fun at elements of Norse (and occasionally Greek and Celtic, when those pantheons appear) Mythology. For example the arc of Tyr working for Fenrir as a roadie, only to discover that Fenrir ''eats'' his roadies at the end of the tour is funny by itself. But when you remember that Fenrir is destined to devour Tyr during Ragnarok, it's even better.

** Whenever Xerenia and Arazel appear you just ''know'' that something painful and/or humiliating is going to happen to [[ButtMonkey Xerenia]] at some point.
** Thor [[BerserkButton flipping out]] whenever someone calls him "little."
** For some reason people keep taking parenting advice from ''Loki's'' book on the subject.
** Balder getting eaten whenever a monster shows up.
*ShownTheirWork - ShoutOut: Quite a few. Not only to various other mythologies (Greek and Celtic deities play significant roles in many plots) but to pop-culture as well. In fact a substantial amount of the humor is a combination of this, {{Running Gag}}s, and ShownTheirWork.

The Norse gods as a family? With the kids going to school? Hel as a teacher? Loki playing with dolls? An undersized thunder god? A girly girl Sif going ActionGirl a lot? The pantheon version of the Olympics? A blind ChessMaster? The villain hardly ever being what it seems? Now why the hell would we want to see that? I mean, it's not like those sexy {{fanservice}} Valkyries can make us change our mind, right guys? Guys? Where'd everybody go?
In other words, a fairly amusing web comic with a fun and sometimes dramatic plot. There will be in-jokes for those familiar with mythology.
