37!! ''Comic Book SNAFU'' provides examples of the following tropes:
38
39%%* ActionGirl: Akiza.
40* AdaptationDistillation:
41** ''ComicBook/SecretEmpire'' is referenced as having happened, but Hawkeye has his older costume aesthetic and is living in Avengers Mansion, which resembles its appearance in ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes''.
42** Mockingbird is still leading the World Counterterrorism Agency, which is now a superhero team featuring several members of the ComicBook/WestCoastAvengers and other members' {{AlternateCompanyEquivalent}}s. Mockingbird's costume combines her classic and modern designs.
43*** Ultron Mark 12 is helping Mockingbird despite being dead by the time the WCA started.
44** Aki's full name is Akiza Izinski Izayoi, a combination of her Japanese and English names (Divine/Sayer's name is similarly altered). Despite apparently taking place after the Dark Signers arc of ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'', she is a HotBlooded AntiHero rather than a NiceGirl, and still has trouble controlling her powers.
45** On the ask blog, Gajeel mentions his encounter with Bloodman, but his design in this series is from his earlier appearances in ''Manga/FairyTail''.
46** Cassandra Cain is Orphan like in ComicBook/TheNew52, but Cluemaster is also still alive.
47** Enigma is working with the Riddler.
48%%* AffectionateParody
49%%* ArchEnemy: Crossfire to Hawkeye.
50* ArtEvolution: Partway through issue 2, the art goes from drawn to digital.
51** There's another upgrade during issue 4, when the artist gets Clip Studio Paint.
52* AllThereInTheManual: The character page on Smackjeeves and Tumblr fills in some details on the characters' backgrounds.
53* AmbiguouslyEvil: ComicBook/{{Mockingbird}} and [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica US Agent]] are superheroes, but attack Akiza and Gajeel, seemingly intending to kill them.
54** Webcomic/{{Lightbringer}} identifies as a superhero, but is working with Crossfire.
55* BadassNormal: Hawkeye and Batman, as usual.
56* BenevolentAI: Ultron Mark 12, a variation of ComicBook/{{Ultron}} from ComicBook/WestCoastAvengers who did a HeelFaceTurn.
57* BerserkButton: Akiza's is being called a witch.
58* BigBadEnsemble: [[ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}} Crossfire]], [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Baron Zemo]] and the rest of ComicBook/{{Checkmate}}, plus [[AmbiguouslyEvil the World Counterterrorism Agency]].
59* BigDamnHeroes: In issue 3, Robin, Orphan, and Spoiler show up to save Batman and Hawkeye. Orphan in particular subjects Baron Zemo to a CurbStompBattle.
60* BloodKnight: Gajeel and Lancer start fighting shortly after meeting, much to Aki's confusion. Both lose interest in Aki immediately, and when [[spoiler:Black Rose Dragon attacks Lancer]] Gajeel gets annoyed that their fight was interrupted.
61* CanonWelding: The various franchises all exist within the same universe.
62** The WCA and Checkmate feature both Marvel and DC heroes (and Lightbringer, in the latter's case.

69** Baron Zemo is no match for [[spoiler:Orphan]].
70* DarkIsNotEvil: Batman.
71* DidntThinkThisThrough: Hawkeye's flash-bang blinds him and Batman along with Checkmate.
72* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
73** Hawkeye [[ButtMonkey immediately gets shot at]], and reacts by casually mocking his attacker with a MythologyGag.
74** Akiza is introduced getting over-excited about a card game, establishing her as a dork. She then [[FieryRedhead starts an argument]] with U.S. Agent when he almost hurts her friend by accident, and unintentionally attacks him due to PowerIncontinence.
75* ExperiencedProtagonist: The character page on Smackjeeves described Hawkeye as having "half a century of experience".
76* ExtraOreDinary: Gajeel's magic.
77* FiveSecondForeshadowing: When Jeanette uses the Death Wail, a small 'pop' sound effect is shown next to Hawkeye's head. A few pages later, he reveals that the attack broke his hearing aid.
78* ForgotAboutHisPowers: PlayedForLaughs in issue 3, when Akiza doesn't remember she can teleport until Gajeel reminds her.
