| Clue (2017) (Comic Book) | comment |
Clue is a 2017 comic mini-series created by IDW Publishing. It's based on the board game Clue and was written by Paul Allor and illustrated by Nelson Daniel.When seven guests from different walks of life are invited to a New England mansion by the esteemed Mr. Boddy, the party takes a sharp turn when the host is found dead! The guests must overcome their mutual distrust (unlikely as it may seem) to find the culprit, all while dealing with a pair of suspicious detectives, a dwindling party, and a butler who definitely knows more than he lets on...A follow-up series, Clue: Candlestick, was published in 2019, but it's not a sequel and works as a Continuity Reboot. | |

| Clue (2017) (Comic Book) / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Miss Scarlet and Mr. Green are fairly unsubtle pastiches of Iggy Azalea and Martin Shkreli, respectively. | |

No Fourth Wall: Upton regularly argues with IDW editor Carlos Guzman about the events of the story. This ends up biting Guzman in the ass, as he becomes Upton's first victim in the butler's sweep of witnesses. | |

Painting the Medium: Done in the final issue when Upton begins eliminating the people who worked on the comic book. First he kills editor Carlos Guzman, causing typographical errors in his text. Then he kills letterer Neil Uyetake, causing the Speech Bubbles to disappear. Then he kills artist Nelson Daniel, and the story continues with typewritten text... | |

| Clue (2017) (Comic Book) / int_5d7cfc66 | comment |
The Jeeves: Upton. Not only does he cater to every guest's request no matter how outrageously elaborate (in the middle of a murder, no less!), but he also leads a midnight operation in Afghanistan to steal the surobi zinnia and kill the creators of the comic all on the orders of his employer. | |

Healing Herb: The surobi zinnia plant can be used to provide a wide variety of "miracle drugs". A large part of Dr. Black's plan is making sure that he has sole access to it. | |

Black Dude Dies First: Played with. The first person found dead is Mr. Boddy, the African-American host of the dinner. In actuality, he faked his death with the help of Upton, and the first person who is actually killed is Mrs. Peacock. | |

Shout-Out: Several to the 1985 live-action movie: At one point, Senator White shouts "Capitalism is never just a red herring!", an inversion of the movie's line about Communism. When Detective Amarillo leaves the mansion, she gloats about how she's going to "go home and sleep with my wife." This is followed by a police officer cheering her on with "Shake, rattle and roll!"note The main theme from the movie. | |
