The series returned from hiatus with Lunar identifiers and an expanded set of cover credits. Image Comics’ release records list cover letters and artists but do not always expose every expected letter. The checklist preserves those visible records exactly.
Issue #0 is placed by publication date rather than treated as a pre-series comic: it was released October 1, 2025, after #33 and before #34. Its five listed covers and backup-story creators make it both a special issue and part of the same collecting sequence.
Issue #39 is excluded because its October 28, 2026 date is still scheduled relative to this August 25 audit. A solicitation is not silently promoted into a released edition.
The checklist follows Image Comics release dates, Lunar codes, and displayed cover credits.
A variant cover is not evidence that its depicted subject appears in the issue.
Missing letters, retailer claims, print quantities, and market values remain unasserted without a primary record.

Source gaps and future additions
The absence of a letter on an official webpage may reflect a canceled product, a site omission, a distribution-specific edition, or a record that was never populated. The checklist states only what the source currently establishes.
A later publisher correction can be added with its retrieval date and exact designation. Secondary marketplace listings may help locate a lead but are not sufficient to overwrite the primary record.
