Indexer Notes
First of an intended ongoing series cancelled due to low Diamond advance orders on this issue; subsequent issues appeared as digital comics on the SLG website and were collected in print as Warlord of Io Vol.1 (SLG, 2010). The bottom gutters of each page in this story contain excerpts from "The Sol System Encyclopedia," offering humorous commentary on the events on the pages.
