1	[[https://www.youtube.com/user/skunkape ComicTropes]] is a Website/YouTube channel that discuss ComicBooks and NewspaperComics. There is a focus on Creator/DCComics and Creator/MarvelComics but there are also videos on indie publishers, smaller publishers, currently nonexistent publishers, and international comics.

3	[=ComicTrope=]s' videos vary, with some being analysis videos, some being review videos, and others just being art videos. Most of the videos discuss {{trope}}s that each comic, or comic book creator, commonly uses in their work.

6	!![=ComicTropes=] provides examples of:
7
8	* AnalysisChannel: The comic analyzes various things about comics, including the writer's and history behind the comics.
9	* CatchPhrase: Chris starts most episodes with some variant of "Oh hi, didn't see you there!" or "Oh hi, you caught me (doing something relevant to the episode's comic)".
10	** His ending catchphrase is "And until next time, keep reading comics!"
11	* {{Cosplay}}:
12	** Some cosplay gags are involved in the videos. For example, dressing up as different characters for skits.
13	** There's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzdwM3C2e6Y a video]] on the history of cosplay.
14	* DrinkingGame: Most of the time a trope results in one swig of alcohol. There are a few videos without this rule, such as the Stan Lee video where one trope equaled one mile to walk.
15	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The early videos were more focused on specifically discussing comic book tropes, pointing out the specific tropes of a work or author. They also sometimes involved [[DrinkingGame drinking games]] based on the tropes. However, this aspect was eventually fazed so that now videos focus on specific comic-related topics that don't emphasize specific tropes as much and provided more information on said topic.
16	* HiddenDepths: Chris seems to just be a friendly comic book analyst on the surface...which would make it hard to believe that [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1igWy6ljg4Y he's a retired superhero himself!]]
17	** He's also mentioned his struggles with depression a couple of times.
18	* RetiredBadass: He used to be the real life superhero Omega, and has actual combat training. He's currently retired although he mentioned he keeps exercising.
