Disclose Notes: "This issue is dedicated to the memory of Curt Swan. Without him, growing up a comic book fan will never be the same."

The page numbers in this issue seem to indicate that the order of the stories 'Shadow Job' and 'Cityscape' was switched at some point. 'Shadow Job' runs from page 29 to page 38, but immediately follows page 18. 'Cityscape' follows page 38 but runs from page 19 to page 28.
