According to an interview with writer Cary Burkett, this story was not planned for the first issue. It was to follow "Candle in the Wind", which was published in the next issue. Original art shows that a reference to the originally planned issue 1 in the Carolyn Farrell flashback scene was taped over by a version without the reference.
