Notes & Trivia

 * This issue is reprinted in the 30 Days of Night: Three Tales trade paperback, published by IDW Publishing in May, 2006.


 * This is the final appearance of Kat; dies in this issue.


 * A group of the drunken revelers shout out "To infinity and beyond!", which is the trademark slogan of the character of Buzz Lightyear from the Toy Story franchise.


 * Icarus is a terrible name for a space vessel. One must heed the take of the Greek character of Icarus who built himself a pair of wax wings, but flew too close to the sun and his wings melted off, sending him plummeting back to Earth. Dumbass.


 * Icarus is also the name of the space shuttle used by astronauts Taylor, Dodge, and Landon in the original Planet of the Apes film. And we all know how well that worked out for them.


 * There is a movie poster on the side of a building called Vampires at Dusk. The graphic is actually the cover to 30 Days of Night hardcover graphic novel collection.
