* ForensicDrama: Averted in Frank Ironwine. Ellis intended the character to be his reply to the over-reliance on forensic evidence in then-recent mystery fiction. Ironwine solves crime cases by focusing on the motivations, emotions, and social interactions of the people involved in them. According to him, "''minds and feelings [are] the way into crimes''" and "''It's not about blood chemistry and DNA and analyzing farts. It's about people. And history. Every damn time.''"
* GentlemanAdventurer:Simon Spector is described by his creator as ''"stinking rich''" and his adventures are a relief from boredom.

->''This is what I think adventure comics would look like today if you blanked out the last sixty years of superhero comics. Yes, there would still be elements of great strangeness, because that's what the pulps traded on. There would be sf and high adventure and weird thrillers and occult journeys. But they would be of their time. The term "adventure" itself would have a dozen different definitions.''

** [[HospitalHottie Doctor]] [[AlliterativeName Angel Antimony]] takes us on a tour of TheFuture, where rampant [[BodyHorror body modification]] and [[BrownNote memetic viruses]] run wild.
