* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The only legal way to get this comic is to buy up print issues from the comic's original run. Due to the level of tropes such as DarkerAndEdgier, CrossesTheLineTwice, and BlackComedy, even Creator/MarkMillar, who usually revels in that style, has disowned the series and refuses to re-release it or even acknowledge it in interviews.

* ParodyRetcon: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]; Creator/MarkMillar has claimed that this was not meant to be a comedy, though the actual work puts the lie to this rather quickly, being fairly obviously intended as ''extreme'' BlackComedy.

* OldShame: BuryYourArt: Both writer Creator/MarkMillar has and artist Anthony Williams have expressed regret at creating this story, comic. It's been out of print since the series ended in 2007, has never been released digitally, and has disowned it.Millar and Williams have removed the book from their websites (with Millar even removing Williams from the list of artists he's collaborated with). Both refuse to talk about it in interviews, and ''The Art of Millarworld'', a compilation of all the covers of all of Millar's creator-owned comics, left out ''The Unfunnies'' entirely.
