7
8	* AnArmAndALeg: As a bug assassin learns the hard way.
9	* AffablyEvil: The whole family and community they live in but then again they are monsters.
10	* AllGhoulsSchool: Mostly the strips focusing on Morgan.
11	* BadFuture: A arc that start with Elizabeth and Apollyon oddly sharing dreams and seeking out a dream specialist to figure out why. [[spoiler: Going into Elizibeth's dream leads the specialist to this where he finds out he was responsible for causing it.]]

14	* CanonDiscontinuity: The Halloween special in 2011 that involved Morgan getting her wished granted to become older [[spoiler:and the wish granter getting destroyed leaving her stuck in that state. Oh yeah and Jack become a clown]]. Chris made it clear he was parodying WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons WesternAnimation/TreehouseOfHorror specials.
15	** Likewise for the 2012 Halloween comics. This seems to be a tradition.
16	* CliffHanger: [[spoiler: When the comic went into hiatus, the final arc sees Jack charged with finding a human who wandered into Necroblivion. Ultimately he fails and his boss closes the portal to the human world as a fail safe to keep anymore from getting through, but strands the entire monster population in their own dimension. Which is bad for the Deadlys as both Elizabeth and Jack do nightly killings (much more important in the former's case as she needs blood to survive). Jack vows to hunt down the human and kill him.]]
17	* CompanionCube: The flour sack that Mina carries around to prep for a baby to Zander's chargin. When she officially gets pregnant, Zander's [[http://www.thedeadlys.com/archive/fast-furious/ more then]] [[http://www.thedeadlys.com/archive/power-up/ happy to]] [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Webcomic/TheDeadlys?action=edit "dispose"]] [[http://www.thedeadlys.com/archive/cradle-and-all/ of it.]]

22	* GuestStrip: Necromas, a week long (or two depending on how many entries there are) event that allows artists to submit a strip to showcase. As the name suggest, it's done usually near the end of the year to give the author a break.

24	* HotWitch: Autumn
25	* InLoveWithYourCarnage: When Meek probes Elizabeth's dreams, he's delighted at how apocalyptic it is.

She figures, since they're human]] [[http://www.thedeadlys.com/archive/room-for-one-more/ that makes them "lunch"!]]
35	* ShesAllGrownUp: Viona, compare [[http://www.thedeadlys.com/archive/something-smells-rotten/ her appearance in TVMS]] to [[http://www.thedeadlys.com/archive/ill-drink-to-that/ her official appearance in The Deadlys]].
