  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Superpowered beings that eat humans and are among us since time inmemorial? Well, aside from pretty much every Urban Fantasy ever, it's basically an American take on Tokyo Ghoul... Which debuted in 2011, two years later.
  • Overshadowed by Controversy: As one may have guessed, the comic is more well known for the plagiarism accusations than the actual story.
  • Serial Numbers Filed Off: There are more-than-obvious parallels with several famous anime and manga series, most notably with Bleach and Hellsing. Fortunately, it was more-than noticed.
  • Special Effect Failure: Connor punching a man through his torso should produce way more gore than what was seen in the comic, where only a few thin streams of blood can be seen on his entire arm.
  • Values Dissonance: A meta-example: Tite Kubo's opinion about the whole problem regarding the plagiarism accusations against Nick Simmons, as you can see in the quote in the main page, can be interpreted as being an aspect of Japanese culture. Kubo is using Tatemae for nuancing his speech, while possibly searching for his legal options with his lawyers in Japan. The I'm more bothered by the fact that Gene Simmons' son is a comic artist quote can be interpreted, from a Japanese POV, as a Stealth Insult against both Nick Simmons and his father Gene, akin to "Why did Gene Simmons allow his son to be a comic book artist in the first place?"
