The end of the trade paperback features four pages with commentary by Blue Delliquanti:

Page 93: Initial designs of Phoebe, Trevor, Callie, Gary, Winston, and Podcast. Notably, Podcast does not physically appear in any of the four issues. Delliquanti had the easiest time with translating the likenesses of Trevor and Phoebe and the hardest time with Gary.
Page 94 to 96: The last three pages shows Delliquanti's process. Page 18 of Issue #1 is used as the example.
- Page 94 is the thumb nail version of the page layout.
- Page 95 is the quick pencil stage with inking. Delliquanti notes the perspective in the first panel was flipped to provide a better look at the interior of the open foot locker.
- Page 96 shows the page with final colors before it is lettered.
