History ComicBook / Amulet

* StoryBreakerPower: Emily's, which all came out of nowhere in Supernova.

* WeHardlyKnewYe: Kazu Kibuishi is ''really'' into creating new characters every book instead of properly developing his older ones, but still discards them once their role in the plot is done.

* StoryBreakerPower: Trellis's ''overly-powered barrier'', for goodness sake. It's so durable that it survives a ''high altitude'' impact that pretty much destroys a large surface with Trellis who doesn't even look strained. Heck, it can even be used as an improvised ''submarine'' to escape [[spoiler: the Nexus]].

* WeHardlyKnewYe: Kazu Kibuishi is ''really''into creating new characters every book instead of properly developing his older ones, but still discards them once their role in the plot is done.

* YouHaveFailedMe: Whilst not seen directly, this is a popular tactic used by the Elf King; [[spoiler: Trellis and Luger go on the run because of it, and later on, Gabilan ends up hiding underwater in the Cortex because he knows the King will come after him because of the former failing to kill Emily and Trellis.]]

* UndergroundCity: Lucien has a an equivalent of one, built illegally by Riva's father.

* UseYourHead: How Dagno manages to take down [[spoiler: Gabilan]]: via helmet-assisted aerial headbutt.

* ThirdLineSomeWaiting: how the narrative of Amulet goes more or less, particularly after Book 1 when Trellis got properly introduced. Although it does on ocassion focuses on other characters, the main three storylines are Emily's, Trellis's, and Navin's.

* PainfulTransformation: based on how Luger and Emily were behaving as their stones took over, it ''far''fron pleasant. Examples include Luger's body expanding and contorting to impossible sizes and Emily's lighting itself on ''fire''.

* AbsurdlyCoolCity: honestly, Cielis takes the cake. It also helps that the previous cities that are intact appeared real plain in comparison, and every city that appeared after that are destroyed.

* TwentyFourHourArmor: Trellis'. He's even shown sleeping in it! How he relieves or cleans himself remains untouched upon.

* OnlyOneName: how most Elves named in the series go. In fact, there's only one elf with a confirmed surname and it's Riva Ash. Even Trellis didn't even get one.

* OrphansOrdeal: Trellis, as both of his parents are dead long before the series have started.

* PublicExecution: the Elf King's preferred method of people who failed him apparently. Luger definitely fers being hanged.

* SlidingScaleOfSillinessVsSeriousness: pretty heavy on the seriousness at the start of the series, but there are just moments that are quite, incredulous. It is a children's series after all.

* WhatAnIdiot: a few instances
** Trellis straight up betrays his father in front of him instead of playing along to be able to have a headstart to escape his clutches. ''Then'' decides to go into a town to get food and clothes for Luger who is weak and would clearly hold him back but does it anyway despite the risks. Guess who gets caught a few hours later?
** Miskit and Cogsley got caught by a wyvern and Emily tries to pursue after them, ''thousands of feet up in the air'', jumping off the airship anyway, expecting her unpracticed stonepower to support her. Would've crossed into TooDumbToLive territory if it weren't for Trellis's timely interference.

* 24-HourArmor: Trellis's. He's even shown sleeping in it! How he relieves or cleans himself remains untouched upon.

* 24HourArmor: Trellis's. He's even shown sleeping in it! How he relieves or cleans himself remains untouched upon.

* EyeScream: had Trellis been ''slightly'' more unfortunate than he already is, the Elf King would've '''slashed''' his eyeball with his claw-like fingernails.

* OurElvesAreBetter: Played with; the elves early on are portrayed as cruel and have very sharp teeth and sickly appearances. Most of the Mooks look more like orcs moreso than anything. However, there are elves that aren't evil later in the story, and it's implied that before the new Elf King took over they were peaceful. They're also more advanced than anyone else in Alledia as a result of their careful historical records.

--->'''Elf Lieutenant:''' [[BigNo No!]] [[ThisCannotBe This is not possible!]] Did you all come here to just give up?!//
'''Elf soldier no.1:''' [[RealityEnsues We are tired and hungry, brother.]]//
'''Elf soldier no.2:''' It is better this way.//

* AngstWhatAngst: Trellis despaired when he finally knew [[spoiler: what happened to his mother]], but it was never addressed again in the book nor does he show particularly affected aside from that scene ever. Meaning that scene didn't really give anything to the plot, aside perhaps some foreshadowing.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: y'know, the entirety of Supernova could have been ''avoided'' if Emily wasn't arrogant enough to overestimate her ability to handle her emotions and if she ''just listened to Trellis''.

* LongLastingLastWords: Something like this happening in ''The Stonekeeper''. The protagonists' great (maybe insert a couple more greats here) grandfather basically chooses to give a long, drawn-out speech about how they have to protect Yon Magical MacGuffin Stone or the world will be in terrible peril etc. etc. then the lights go off. It was obviously intended to be serious but it just looks silly.

* MeaningfulEcho: (The Stonekeeper's Curse) When Emily tries to regain control after her stone begins to overpower her, she screams the line "Get out of my head!" (Prince of the Elves) This line is later repeated when Trellis channels his memories via his amulet and is seized by the stone's force before being aided by Emily.

* CastOfSnowflakes/OnlySixFaces: a startlingly rare combination. The cast of Amulet is undoubtedly unique and diverse when it comes to appearances. But it also suffers from a same face syndrome, because without other outlying characteristics such as hair, or clothes, it's incredibly ''hard'' to differentiate Navin and Emily, and many more examples.
