!!This press and its works contain examples of:
* ArtifactTitle: The name 'Splatto' comes from one of Meyer's early comic reviews, in which he was mocking how a protagonist that had previously been shown to be extremely violent and 'tough' was suddenly reduced to a sobbing mess after seeing the body of a cat which had been run over. Meyer found the {{bathos}} to be comical, and he gave the dead cat the joking name of 'Splatto del Gatto' to mock how the cat was being depicted as more worth of empathy than all the named people that the protagonist had threatened to hurt, or actually hurt, in the comic's preceding issues. When Meyer later founded his comics press, he chose to call it 'Splatto' and gave it the logo of a cat face with tire tracks running over half of it.
* BackFromTheDead: Both the Jawbreakers and the Expendables do this in the Splatto Comics oeuvre.
* LetsSeeYouDoBetter: After ''[=PANdemIC=]'' came out, people noticed how it included many elements which Meyer had criticized in his reviews of Marvel and [=DC=] comics. Meyer responded that he has essentially imposed this trope on himself, wanting to show that the elements themselves weren't bad -- they were just executed badly in the other works -- by making a work which used all the same elements much more effectively.
* RippedFromTheHeadlines: The books which aren't part of larger series often focus on current issues, including the UsefulNotes/Covid19Pandemic (''[=PANdemIC=]'', ''Do As You're Told''), cancel culture (''Is This You?''), and the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine (''Mind Your Business'').
