8	!!Oi, this 'ere comic is providin' examples of:
9
10	* TenMinuteRetirement: Poor Clive was hoping to have a quiet retirement when he settled into Lower Crowchurch. Before he finishes painting his new place he winds up leading the town's survivors.
11	* AlienInvasion: In the style of classics like ''Film/TheWarOfTheWorlds1953'' and ''Film/TheDayTheEarthStoodStill1951.''
12	* BizarreAlienBiology: The aliens in the series are either robotic, lamp-looking beings or wispy energy beings. We have yet to find out one way or the other.
13	* CatsAreSnarkers: Susan can sling a mean snark.
14	* CropCircles: The group runs into a huge, circular one as seen in the work image.
15	* CryingWolf: When Fawkes tries to inform the town about his alien encounter he is ignored due to his status as an infamous drunk.
16	* DeathRay: The aliens' main weapon. Clive is quick to note that normal fire ''"doesn't burn like that."''
17	* DoNotTauntCthulhu: The giant machine easily knocks over Fawkes's car after he taunts it.
18	* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: Everyone, in 1930s period attire.
19	* FunetikAksent: Many characters talk with a strong cockney accent.
20	* FunnyAnimal: All the characters (aliens excepted). The main cast includes a dog, a fox, a rabbit, a weasel, a cat and a pig.
21	* HealItWithBooze: A bottle of liquor is used to heal burns.
22	* HellIsThatNoise: The alien's move with a noisy KLIK-KLAK.
23	* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: After getting half his face vaporized by the aliens, Laidlaw straight-up base jumps off the slope and goes full-blown military dictator despite the fact that any sort of military position would mean absolute jack in the current situation.
24	* LightIsNotGood: The aliens are essentially composed of light and resemble lampposts, but incinerate people. A letter at the end of issue #5, implied to have been written by Susan, goes on a tangent about light being evil.
25	* MostWritersAreWriters: In the first series we have Susan who is a reclusive writer and Peter, a reporter. Then in ''Enemy Within'' we meet eminent sci-fi authors Runciman and Cornfelt. It is a series that appreciates writing almost as much as it does the sci-fi genre.
26	* NotQuiteDead: The first alien which Susan blasted with her shotgun.
27	* OhCrap: When the gang realizes Susan's shotgun is missing.
28	-->'''Susan:''' Where's my shotgun?\
29	'''Clive:''' Where's '''Alph'''?
30	* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The crew are a former Navy-man, a writer, a callous trapper, a reporter, and a hapless kid.
31	* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: The group has two double-barreled shotguns which are put to good use against the aliens.
32	* SkewedPriorities: After wandering into a decimated town Fawkes rushes to the tavern which to his joy hasn't been destroyed.
33	* StockBritishPhrases: The characters drop ''"Bleedin'"'' and ''"Bloody"'' left and right.
34	* WhamShot: When it gets bright enough for Susan and Peter to notice the lampposts in town.
