Most issues were self-contained instead of multi-part stories because Faerber wanted a creative challenge.〔Bradley, Drew, "(Jay Faerber talks Near Death hiatus )", www.multiversitycomics.com, 25 September 2012, retrieved 8 November 2012〕 Each issue contains some form of bonus material, such as an article on crime fiction or a second, shorter comic.
