Continuity[]
On November 1, 2024, Marvel announced the comic, describing it as a prequel to the TV show of the same name.[6] One of the writers, Christos N. Gage, said that they worked closely with show creator Jeff Trammell to make sure the comic "meshes perfectly with the show." He went on to say that the prequel comic and the show could be seen as a "big story."[7] Trammell echoed Gage's statement, and said that the prequel comic would answer questions the fans would have when they watch the show. He also said the show would do the same for the comic.[8] Additionally, some shots from the comic were animated for the show's intro.
