* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first panel is a full-frontal shot of Doomguy dismembering an Imp, with his bare hands, while ranting about how much of a man-and-a-half he is.



* IncomingHam: ''The very first panel'' depicts Doomguy [[{{DeadlyEuphemism}} "fixing" an Imp]] with his bare hands, screaming "DYNAMITE!" This occurs while he's in the midst of an internal monologue about how he is, in fact, a "berserker-packin' man-and-a-half." It sets the tone for the rest of the comic.



* OffScreenTeleportation: Shortly after acquiring the Plasma Rifle and obliterating some "big-mouthed floating thingies," Doomguy inexplicably finds himself in another room with no indicator of how he got there. Naturally, he proceeds to lampshade it.
-->'''Doomguy:''' ''"Wow! Now I'm in a completely different place!"''

Added DiffLines:

* ThroughTheEyesOfMadness: Doomguy is the protagonist/narrator, and it's very clear that he's a few bullets short of a full magazine. This is also one possible explanation for why the comic is so OffModel, and why it appears to take place in some kind of horrifying negative space realm where the basic laws of architecture do not apply. To wit, Doomguy comes upon a Plasma Rifle sitting in plain view; the very next panel shows it suddenly sitting on top of a ''ledge,'' complete with walls on either side that definitely were not there before.

* NoEnding: Alongside [[AndTheAdventureContinues And the adventure Continues]]. Doomguy shoots the Cyberdemon dead and them continues his journey, looking for more ''Stupid demons'' to kill. Not really surprising given that the comic was already a case of [[NoPlotNoProblem lacking a real plot]] and was mostly a excuse for Doomguy to find big guns to shoot bigger demons with them.

* WarriorMonk: Sort of. After finding the BFG 9000, the "Doomguy"s normal tough-guy rhetoric is suddenly replaced by expressions one expects to hear from a classical warrior priest (although, to be fair, he does end it with his classical, every-word-a-catchphrase style).
