On the main cover of this issue by
Marc Aspinall is a photograph of the
helmeted heads of Mal, Zoe, and (probably) Tracey Smith
during the Unification War. Tracey was seen in
"The Message".
In the "Previously..." paragraphs on the inside front cover,
Blue Sun Director Sang is erroneously referred to as
Director Sing.
On pages 1-2, Kaylee, Jayne, and Leonard appear to be
eating cheeseburgers or something similar!
On page 2, Mal tells his former crew not to hit Blue Sun
targets for their theivin' anymore, as Blue Sun is a
"freaking Gigantosaurus. And it'll eat you alive."
Gigantosaurus is the genus of a sauropod dinosaur,
though the name is now considered a nomen dubium
(doubtful name) and is generally considered to the same
as Pelorosaurus. Sauropods were herbivorous
dinosaurs, so it seems more likely that Mal is
mispronouncing the name of Giganotosaurus,
a theropod dinosaur larger than T.
rex but
smaller than Spinosaurus.
Leonard says he is from the
Georgian moon Bethlehem. This was more or less implied in
"Kaylee and the Bandit".
In this issue, Blue Sun uses a
previously unseen type of armed space vessel called a Blue
Sun 232 to protect its interests. Blue Sun 222 is another
similar vessel.

On page 12, Serenity sets down on the planet Kerry.
This is a world in the Georgia system making it's first
appearance.
