comment
Creature Tech is a comic book produced by Image Comics, written by celebrated author Doug Tennapel, that takes Rule of Symbolism to the max.Dr. Michael Ong, former seminarian-turned-atheist-scientist, is assigned to a government warehouse in his hometown which the locals have dubbed Creature Tech. Ong's job is to categorize boxes of mysterious artifacts, as the government doesn't know what to do with the artifacts. Unfortunately, Jameson, an English ghost, is after one of the boxes, which contains the Shroud of Turin. Ong and company have to stop Jameson before he enacts his fiendish plan to resurrect a giant space eel.

Heroic Host: The alien symbiote that serves as Ong's new heart also provides him with extra limbs and kung-fu skills, and even stranger powers when he gets angry.

Death from Above
 Creature Tech (Comic Book) / int_1c398324
comment
Death from Above: Happens twice. In the opening scene, Jameson's giant space eel attractor works a little too well, causing a giant space eel to crash into his laboratory with the force of an asteroid. "That's A MORAY!" At the end Jameson rides on the back of the resurrected space eel and summons lightning to destroy Turlock.

comment
Face Death with Despair: At the end of when the revived Giant Space Eel is reunited with its original, revived, (alien) rider, Jameson, who wanted to use the eel to destroy the world, tries to kill Dr. Ong for ruining his plan. When Ong manages to get the Symbiote that Jameson is wearing, which gives its host superpowers, to kill him, it rejoins him (the Symbiote liked Ong better). As Jameson brags that his demon hand, which he got for selling his soul, would keep him from going to hell for his sins, Ong uses the Symbiote to chop off the hand. When the demon shows up with several companions, Jameson's taken to hell, and he fearfully states "I regret" as he's about to be eaten.

Batman Gambit: Ong defeats Jameson because he understands that the alien symbiote is an intelligent, moral creature, and thus is able to anticipate its reactions. Ong allows Jameson to punch a hole in his chest and crush his heart—at which point the symbiote leaves Jameson and reattaches itself to Ong, because it likes Ong better.

Book Ends: The comic begins and ends with a Splash Panel of giant eels in space. The intro states that Pastor Ong rebelled against his religious family and became a famous scientist before returning to religion when he had "questions science couldn't answer". At the end of the comic, Dr. Ong, who rebelled against his religious family and became a famous scientist, is reexamining his own faith.

Our Zombies Are Different: Jameson is basically a revenant after he uses the Shroud to raise himself from the dead. He has full intelligence and mobility, but still looks partially-rotted. Arguably, the Meat Man, who formed from a composite of animal meat cuts given life (and apparently sapience) by the Shroud.

If Jesus, Then Aliens
 Creature Tech (Comic Book) / int_b6ca8bd
comment
If Jesus, Then Aliens: Very pointedly avoided. Mike Ong has no difficulty accepting the existence of the paranormal artifacts he's cataloging while rejecting Christianity. Even when he realizes that the Shroud of Turin is the real deal — and that Jesus must have really been the Son of God — it still doesn't compel him to actually convert. On the other hand, Pastor Ong was driven by the strange things he studied to turn to religion, so he plays the inversion straight: If aliens, then Jesus. He also objects that the Shroud of Turin can't be what it seems, since having conclusive evidence of Jesus' divinity would deprive people of the right to choose whether to believe in Christ. Michael does convert eventually, but only upon witnessing the death of an alien Christ analogue on another planet. If alien Jesus, then human Jesus. It's probably safe to say this trope drives the plot of Creature Tech.

Badass Longcoat: Lampshaded by Ong's father. Justified, since it's to hide the symbiote.

Straw Atheist: Dr. Ong, at the beginning. Over the course of the story (and a personal encounter with Alien Symbiote Jesus), he reexamines this position and ultimately converts.

Taught by Television: The alien symbiont saves Ong's life by employing kung-fu that it learned from watching a movie. Including the cheesy dialogue.

Museum of the Strange and Unusual: Not Creature Tech itself, but another local tourist trap displaying (and selling) items that are alleged to be, for example, a South American mummy, Excalibur, and the face of Jesus on a cinnamon roll.

Secret Government Warehouse: Creature Tech, although it fails in the "secret" part. Sort of justified. Part of Turlock's stipulations for allowing the facility to operate a nuclear power generator within city limits was that the place had to be staffed by locals.
