Trivia / Coreline Invasion Of Portland

• He Also Did: The writer has also written several side stories in the Infinity Crisis multiverse, as well as the ongoing The SuperStarr Chronicles.
• Word of God:
  • The Pre-Crisis Supergirl appears in this story because the author was reading Crisis on Infinite Earths at the time he was writing it, and liked the idea of her appearing in the Coreline after dying.
  • Also, the reason Kamen Rider Cyclops exists was that the author saw many anime characters melded with Western superheroes in Coreline tales, and wanted to do the reverse: An American superhero with Japanese elements.
  • The author is a fan of the 1980s Squadron Supreme miniseries, as well as the Kurt Busiek/George Perez-era Avengers, hence Haywire being an Aegis agent here.
  • Keiko Miyamoto's surname is a shout-out to Shigeru Miyamoto.
  • Amir Khosrow's personality is meant to be inspired by Peter Venkman from Ghostbusters.
