- Entanglement of Concurrent Copies: The university professor seems to think that he is entangled with his time traveling self, so that when that when he reaches the time when his other self dies, then so will he. This makes no more sense than the fact that when the dead time traveling self was brought back one day, he came back to life. But never mind! At least it’s a nice example of the entanglement tag.

- Cover—It's unclear to me whether the cover is intended to illustrate the issue’s final story, “Dark Side of the Moon.” We used this cover because we have no images of the interior artwork from the original publication.
