* TooBleakStoppedCaring: There's not really any character that can be defined as TheHero or all that heroic of the comic. [[spoiler:The few that ''were'' heroic are either long dead, like Blossom, Raven, Irwin, and Hoss, are regularly put through the wringer, like Junior and Jeff, or have been broken beyond belief, like Mimi. Even characters like Minnie, who started off kind and sweet, get twisted and become more evil as the series goes on.]]

Added DiffLines:

* OvershadowedByControversy: The flashback depicting Mandy perpetrating the September 11th attacks, as well as Bleedman's hostile responses to the criticism this attracted, [[note]]The chapter that had this particular flashback was released only a few years after the attacks, so it was still fresh in a lot of people's minds at the time.[[/note]] is the reason most people have ever even heard of this comic.

* CommonKnowledge: A lot of people, even on Wiki/ThisVeryWiki, seem to be under the assumption that Drax from ''After Birth'' is Dexter from ''Webcomic/PowerpuffGirlsDoujinshi'' after a FaceHeelTurn (possibly caused by the grief of [[spoiler: losing Blossom]]); however, [[https://storygirl000.deviantart.com/art/Not-your-everyday-Valentine-154889268 this picture]] Bleedman put out, along with several other factors (like the fact that he claims to have [[spoiler:killed Dee Dee]], when in ''PPGD'' [[spoiler:her death was the result of a HeroicSacrifice]]), seem to confirm that he's actually Dexter's counterpart from [[MirrorUniverse the Powerpunk Girls' world]].

MEH requires the character be considered irredeemable In Universe, and requires they weren't already evil in the first place. Mandy is pretty much the evilest character in her home series, and the story opens with her as queen of the Underworld. And anyone who has seen the original Nightmare before Christmas will tell you Oogie Boogie was not good.


* MoralEventHorizon: Mandy directly causes [[spoiler:9/11 and the subsequent wars in the Middle East, Hurricane Katrina and Crash 38. While one could argue that all those deaths were Mandy just doing her job as Death that day (going overboard, but still her job), what ''really'' puts it over the MEH is that she did it to ''impress her crush''.]]
** Oogie Boogie too, after he literally [[spoiler:[[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe tore Minnie, a child who is no older than ten years old, in half with his Pumpkinator robot.]]]]

** Let's have a quick summary of the first 6 chapters of the comic: Our main hero is the GrimReaper who has a severe case of sibling issues with a LovecraftianSuperpower that he had to constantly wrestle for control and fight. Said sibling is {{Yandere}} for him and has a massive case of IJustWantToBeSpecial. The BigBad is a CardCarryingVillain god and The BigGood never offer much help. A poorly written fanfic or the ThemeParkVersion of ''{{VideoGame/Blazblue}}''? The comic started in ''2004.'' ''{{Videogame/Blazblue Calamity Trigger}}'' would debut four years later.
