Disclose Notes: This story is full of references to former MLJ/Red Circle publications. The covers to early MLJ issues can be seen in the Shield's shrine, and Top-Notch is a sticker on Wyatt's laptop. The M.L.J. stands for the Military Logistics and Jurisdiction Bureau and is a reference to MLJ Comics.
