Trivia

The section of the cover that references Knothole Village

• In Jon Gray's cover-art for this issue, has featured various wanted posters that included those of: Dr. Eggman, Rough and Tumble, Dr. Starline, a cameo of both John and Reggie Graham, and one for each of the Babylon Rogues.
  • On Storm the Albatross' wanted poster, it has an easteregg reference to a Knothole Village, a reference to the location that was featured as the headquarters for the Freedom Fighters in both the SATAM Sonic the hedgehog cartoon and as well as the comic's predecessor, Archie Sonic the hedgehog. Whether or not it will expand upon that reference is unknown.
• Both covers of 31 and 32 can be combined to form a panorama.
