Trivia

 * Ethan is the first character in the comics whose introduction and death occurred in the same issue (although Eric and Jim 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!".
 * Ethan is one of the many characters with an unknown last name.
 * Ethan was the first person to "Send a message" that Rick witnesses.
