Panel 2:Wellp, there's your reference to Hell, which was mentioned in the title page as the subject of this chapter's many short vignettes.
Note that our setting for this flashback scene is the Empowered vol. 6 funeral that was being held at "Suprahuman Mausoleum #2."
Note also that a deceased cape previously glimpsed in vol. 5 is finally given a partially visible name on his or her gravestone, visible at the bottom edge of the panel: "Eye Eye Sir."
