Trivia

 * Ethan is the first character in the Comic Series whose introduction and death occurred in the same issue (although Eric and Jim Bridges could be considered as well, Ethan is the first one whose identity was confirmed on-panel.)
 * Ethan may have harbored feelings for Crystal. This could be supported by when he's struggling with Rick, he shouts, "Anyone who tries to stop me is killing Crystal", and, "He [Gregory] has to die or Crystal dies!".
