Chapter names of books?
- The names of the various issues have traditionally been chapter names of famous books.
The only issue I know of that corresponds to a book or chapter name is Through the Looking Glass. Along Came a Spider was a movie with Morgan Freeman, I think, but otherwise, I think it's just a reference to the old Little Miss Muffet nursery rhyme. I've never heard of any of the others in relation to books or chapters.
Am I missing something? If not, we should probably remove this note since it was just the one the referred to a book.

- "Through the looking glass" - Chapter 1 of Alice in Wonderland
- "A shadow of the past" - Chapter 2 of The Two Towers
- "A Council of War" - Chapter 12 of Treasure Island
- "The Colosseum" - Chapter 34 of The Count of Monte Cristo
- All I've found so far. I will continue the search. - Snorii 14:55, 22 March 2006 (PST)
- No worries, I just honestly didn't know. I thought they just made up cool-sounding names for each issue. --TonyV 16:37, 22 March 2006 (PST)
- I sent a pm to Statesman asking for more info and this is his response.
- "Yes. They're named after chapters in books. Can't say more than that...;-)" - Snorii 11:33, 23 March 2006 (PST)
- Also confirmed by Manticore awhile ago. My search-fu on "Along came a spider" isn't coming up with much, thanks to the movie with Morgan Freeman and the book by James Patterson. -- StarGeekTalk page 12:27, 23 March 2006 (PST)
- Had anyone come up with the rest of them in the last year? Or at least Issues 8-10? TayJK 01:22, 25 July 2007 (EDT)
