Common tropes include the 'meet-cute,' the love triangle, the misunderstanding, and the 'damsel in distress.' Modern comics often subvert these tropes by giving female characters more agency, exploring diverse relationship dynamics (including polyamory and asexuality), and challenging traditional gender roles. The 'damsel' is often replaced with a strong, independent woman who rescues herself.
