Notes:
(1) So, issue #24 had me confused as hell! It refers to the mob boss as both Vito Gravano and Tony Twist, alternating between the two.
- Apparently, McFarlane's penchant for naming characters after NHL players came back to bite him.
- The real Tony Twist sued him and the name had to be changed in future reprints.
- Whoever edited issue #24, however, did a crappy job.

Notes:
(1) I thought with Agent Roenick it might have coincidence, but when McFarlane named the mob accountant Joe Sakic (misspelled twice as Sacik), he's not even hiding the fact he's naming characters after '90s NHL players.
- Though, he's pulling names from various pop culture: Vito Gravano after Sammy "The Bull" and his assistant Smithers after "The Simpsons" character.

Notes:
(1) While Todd McFarlane's not any great writer, it's nice to get back to a single creator vision after two volumes of largely guest writers.
(2) I'm a fan of Marc Silvestri, so I can't wait to see the issue he draws.
(3) McFarlane's using three different inkers over his pencils.
- Prior to this he'd only inked himself. So it'll be interesting to see the differences.
