* ''Chapter 53, Annie and the Fire'':
** Anthony in... [[EldritchLocation wherever he went]] looks a lot like [[Manga/DeathNote Kira and the less humanoid Shinigami]]. Others thought that a surgeon [[AnArmAndALeg sacrificing his dominant hand]] to see his loved one again was more like [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist an equivalent exhcange]].
** Surma is shown with giant [[RegalRinglets ringlets of hair]] (previously she had a [[QuirkyCurls cloud-like mass of curls]] or stylized spirals), similar to ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'''s mother Rose Quartz. Also similar to Rose they both have pink hair, both are loved by all, [[spoiler: they're not quite human (Surma is half fire-elemental; Rose is a humanoid living rock alien), both die/cease to exist after giving birth to their children because of the way their "souls" work, and their "muggle" husbands don't understand the process of their wives' "reproduction".]]

** [[spoiler:Janet And Winsbury finally reveal their SecretRelationship]], only to engage in an ImagineSpot. [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=938 One of these imaginations]] is a reference to a LexLuthor meme, where he steals forty cakes (see AndThatsTerrible).

** A few people noticed that [[spoiler: Annie's separated ethereal half]] looks like a "stand" from ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' (Eglamore once used a "Jojo pose"):
--->SomethingAwful: '''[=ZenMasterBullshit=]:''' User: Antimony Carver[,] Stand: 「We Didn't Start The Fire」; '''Nate RFB''': Annie has simply awakened her Stand, Magician's Red.
*** Because of [[spoiler: it's "haircut"]] it also looks like a [[http://cp12.nevsepic.com.ua/75/1352561345-0149949-www.nevsepic.com.ua.jpg Wayne Barlowe]] character. A lot of Barlowe's characters are from Hell...

* ''Chapter 52, Sneak'':
** It takes Kat several panels to get across a really long room to reach Annie, similar to [[MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail Sir Lancelot's charge to Swamp Castle]].
** The room itself is reminiscent of the one at the end of ''TwoThousandOne'', minus the Versailles furnishings: it's very AsceticAesthetic and not quite "right" (the room in ''2001'' had lights on the floor and mixed modern and antique furniture; this room has similar-looking lights in the ceiling and is just plain [[UnnecessarilyLargeInterior impractical]]). Another similar room is Syndrome's computer room in ''TheIncredibles'' (huge, tall, plain, modernist room).

* ''Chapter 51, "The Tree"'':
** Kat gives Annie a two-way radio so they can communicate in secret after Annie has been singled out by a new teacher, severely punished, and banned from doing the thing she loves; similarly Sirius Black gave [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix Harry Potter]] a two-way mirror so they could communicate in secret after Harry was singled out by a new professor, severely punished, and banned from doing the thing he loves (the difference being that Harry's punishment was [[TyrantTakesTheHelm wildly unfair]] while Annie's is [[JerkassHasAPoint a bit]] [[CheatersNeverProsper more reasonable]]).
***Could also tie in to their (not unreasonable) mistrust of authority after being LockedOutOfTheLoop for years: It nearly backfired on Annie after Jack's soul was almost consumed by Zimmy's spiders because she tried to deal with it herself instead of telling someone more experienced with Zimmy's "issues"; Harry [[spoiler: refused to use the mirror (he didn't even really know what it was, only that it would let Sirius talk to him) so he wouldn't give away Sirius' location and then forgot about it, and because he didn't/couldn't consult with the more experienced members of Sirius' group (not wanting to harm Sirius combined with them not wanting to accidentally trigger the bit of Voldemort in Harry) he wound up putting everyone in danger which led to Sirius' death]].
