* BreakingTheFellowship: Turns out that when you live the hard and fast life of a punk for years without rest, your body breaks down pretty fast. Also, not everyone wants to be a musician forever, what with the financial insecurity that entails, and sometimes bandmates will leave to settle down and start families. [[spoiler: Declan Decay]] learned both of these things the hard way.

[[spoiler: Declan Decay]] learned both of these things the hard way.
** The legendary punk venue House of 1,000 Couches is, well, a house with a bunch of couches. The Creepies can't actually play in the house, however, since there are so many couches that Criss's wheelchair won't fit. Lack of accessibility is a common problem with real life DIY spaces, (although resources like the website Is This Venue Accessible aim to counter that).

* TemptingFate: Criss comments in issue 2 that she's a little sad that Pinmageddon is almost over. Immediately after that, [[spoiler: the van crashes again and puts them in danger of not being able to make it to the last show of Pinmageddon]]. Lampshaded by Criss herself.

* ThePowerOfRock: [[spoiler: Declan Decay]] thinks that this will reinvigorate the spirits, but this turns out to be incorrect.
** Jose uses the power of ''disco'' to save the day immediately after the above revelation.

Meet the Creepies: a punk rock band composed of triplet teen sisters Coady, Criss, and Corey. They've more than earned the label of punk -- they have the attitudes and the musical skills to back it up. They also have a tragic past -- just as their career was starting to take off, they were involved in a terrible van accident that killed their tour manager, scarred Corey, and paralyzed Criss. Now, a year later, they're back on the road and determined to be the first-ever winners of Pinmageddon: a cross-country touring blitz in which bands race to play all the best punk venues and collect the enamel pins at each. If the Creepies want to win, however, they'll also have to learn how to deal with the media attention that's surrounded them ever since the accident, as well as their thuggish rivals the Boneheads. And Coady has a dark secret that could tear apart the band once and for all...
