Notes:
(1) So, when I read this book back in April, it was via single issues since the trade wasn't due out until September. However, the content listing was incorrect and didn't include issue #6, hence this addendum status.
- Doesn't change my rating or review though.
(2) This didn't have much plot, just the Adjudicator taking Zachary and Rose on a tour of Heaven and Hell.

Notes:
(1) This whole first arc is mostly about getting the premise across and fleshing out the characters a bit.
- There's no real story except for stuff involving stolen jewelry and zombies. But that all seems quite ancillary and merely an excuse to have Rose and Zach panic and run away from things.
- Though running away from things does produce some nice bonding moments.

Notes:
(1) So far, this has been distinctly unremarkable.
- Everything's perfectly fine. It's just that nothing stands out beyond the premise.
(2) I didn't know Tomasi's a Vancouver Canucks fan. At least it appears to be a cameo of him watching them lead the Washington Capitals 5-0 in the 2nd Period.
- Either that or he's a Caps fan and making a point about them being crap.

Notes:
(1) I guess the anthology teaser isn't canon, more so proof of concept or a pilot episode.
- Zach's mom was an overtly-evil Hispanic woman and his dad a gambler. Now his parents are two covertly-evil Caucasian funeral directors.
- The Adjudicator went from an umpire to a bus driver.
- Rose's dad went from blond to white-haired. Which, albeit minor, is still a change.

Notes:
(1) I read a 7-page teaser for this in the "Ghost Machine" anthology.
- Let's just say it didn't get me hyped.
(2) This is part of Ghost Machine's "Family Odysseys" line. Which is interesting, given Heaven and Hell as subject matter aren't inherently family friendly.
- Tomasi has been on a religious bent of late. Angels were the focus of his last series "Blood Tree."
