* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Angels in Afterlife Inc. sport neither halos or wings, and can generally be described as 'weird'. There do not appear to be any limits to an angel's physical appearance. [[http://afterlife-inc.com/comic/poster-lux-1/ Lux]] and [[http://afterlife-inc.com/comic/poster-mr-ochroid/ Ochroid]], two of the most prominent angels in the series, are classic examples of this.

* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Turns out they're just another kind (or kinds) of angel, and apparently not even of the {{fallen|angel}} variety, for the most part being quite content to work for the CelestialBureaucracy.

* CelestialBureaucracy: Pretty much the poster child for this trope, although Afterlife Inc. is generally a fairly caring, if slightly bloated, heavenly corporation.
* CelestialParagonsAndArchangels: Angels aren't all that special, really. There are billions of them, after all, and their power level varies greatly between individuals. The seven archangels, on the other hand, were immensely powerful beings that once ruled the afterlife before the Calamity wiped them from existence. Only Anahel survived, technically making him the most powerful being on the Empyrean, although he really just wants to be left alone.
* CirclesOfHell: [[http://www.afterlife-inc.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/2015-03-27-Poster-Empyrean.jpg The Empyrean]] (a.k.a the great golden city of the dead) consists of many discs (heavens) arranged around a central shaft. Each heaven serves a specific function. Shehaqim, for example, provides a home for all the plants and animals that die, while Machonon, the afterlife's capital city, is home to the vast majority of undead souls.
* EvilCounterpart: Antrobus, despite all his power and ambition, can't help but compare himself to Jack - even going as far as to model his physical appearance on Jack, albeit in a twisted, distorted fashion.

* GenuineImposter: [[spoiler: In Volume 4: Man Made God, Gabriel, one of the long-lost archangels, returns to claim his rightful place as ruler of the afterlife. In reality, "Gabriel" is an imposter - a follower of the fanatical Council of Days who assumed the identity of Gabriel in an attempt to seize control of the afterlife from Jack. That no-one could remember what Gabriel actually looked like only helped make the deception easier to swallow.]]

* IconicItem: Jack's signature tie and suit define both his look and the dress code of the company. Although, as CEO, his tie has to be the longest.

* EyeColourChange: Jack's eyes were blue before dying, and golden afterwards. This doesn't seem to happen to anyone else who dies, so quite what this means is a mystery.
