Notes[edit | edit source]
- This arc will be the first time the series has collaborated and co-printed with another comic book publisher.
- Joe Hill mentioned in a tweet that he included a single detail in "In Pale Battalions Go" that is a part of a bigger Locke & Key story which he says that at this pace he won't get to until he's in his mid-fifties (Joe Hill was 48 when he made the tweet).[7]
- Gabriel Rodriguez replied to the tweet saying:
“ | (Let others live the life of dull iron structure office buildings makers. We're trying to live the life of stonemasons builders of cathedrals) ;P[8] | ” |

- Due to the release schedule for some issues, it was initially assumed that Locke & Key: Grindhouse and Locke & Key: Dog Days were a part of the Golden Age arc. But Joe Hill stated via Twitter that those issues were standalones that didn't belong to any of the arcs.[5][9]
