Contents
This double-length anniversary issue contains two stories:
- "How Bright Their Frail Deeds", the main 30-page story
- "No Guns, No Swords, No Briefcases", a 10-page back-up strip
See individual articles for details.
Notes
- This issue was originally scheduled for release on February 24, but like the previous few, ran late due to "A chain of incredible (in both senses) bad luck and events outside IDW's control," to quote James Roberts. However, some regional versions of iTunes didn't get the message, and the comic was released digitally in some parts of Europe and Asia on the originally planned date, while it took until March 9 for both the print and digital versions to reach the rest of the world.
- James Roberts went into lengthy detail about the comic at Orbital Comics. Originally, the #50s were going to be the end of IDW "Season 2's" but James Roberts buckled and asked if he could start a story there instead, to benefit from a #50 sales bump (which he admits is "not the best jumping-on point").[1]
