| 8 | * ArtEvolution - [[http://acityinaplace.com/?comic_id=0 "Page 0"]] and then [[http://acityinaplace.com/?comic_id=636 "Page 636"]]. Unfortunately for Colbey, art improvements do not help with life suckage. |
| 9 | * BadAssPreacher - Scot if there ever was one. |
| 10 | * BoomHeadShot - Subverted? Not? After all the shot went [[spoiler: straight to the throat]]. |
| 11 | * BoyishShortHair - Justified, as this is in part a matter of survival. |
| 12 | * BrandX - As evidenced by that [[http://acityinaplace.com/?comic_id=206 Built Frod Tough truck]]. |

| 19 | * LeaveNoWitnesses |
| 20 | * LivingMacGuffin - She's searching for [[spoiler: Peter, who is perfectly fine living in pretty much the last city]] |
| 21 | * {{Mooks}} - Pretty much every one of Arthur's goonies Colbey encounters. Dead faster than you say [[KilledMidSentence w-wai-!!*gunshot*]]. [[http://acityinaplace.com//?comic_id=35 link]]. In fact you used to be able to sign up to die as a mook in the comic. |
| 22 | * [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThereAreNoCoincidences N-Stac]] How does Colbey keep meeting people from before the flip? N-Stac. |
| 23 | * PrecisionFStrike - Or rather... a [[http://acityinaplace.com/?comic_id=199 Precision FS strike]]. |

| 25 | * UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans - Everything was going great with rebuilding the university until [[spoiler: Colbey realized anyone too old, young, or inconvenient was just being executed...]] |
