The musician, artist and writer clarified the credits on the cover giving proper credit where credit is due.

“Despite the names on the cover, Jeremy and Nick and I didn’t create this issue, as this is a stand-alone story, and an idea that Becky and Michael had for a while that they were very passionate about. It’s incredibly fun and meta as hell. If you haven’t been following DP WOTW you can still enjoy this issue. Check it out! Just ignore the credits printing error on the cover, but enjoy the cover image by Becky and Tamra!”
