Subjective Tropes for Hope Comes to Brockton Bay
- Escapist Character: The author has gone on record to state that Hope was never meant "to be much more than a fun escapist fix for the horror that is Brockton Bay."
- Fandom Nod: In chapter 89 Clockblocker dismisses the idea that he has a thing for Skitter.
- One True Pairing: Brian and Jess, Trickster and Noelle, Taylor and Everett. Hope and Amy were this, but then they had a Relationship Upgrade into a One True Threesome with Lisa.
