Background[]
- The back cover stated inaccurately that Blood Will Tell comprised six issues.
- Commanders Kor and Koloth appeared in both stories. IDW presented them as they appeared in TOS episode: "Errand of Mercy" and TOS episode: "The Trouble with Tribbles", whereas the DC story depicted them with ridged foreheads.
- A similar volume with the same title was solicited in 2009 as Volume 7 of the Star Trek Archives omnibus series, but had been canceled. The proposed collection would have included DC's first story arc along with DC issues #31 Maggie's World! and #32 Judgment Day!.
- The Blood Will Tell miniseries was also released in its own omnibus in 2007 and in digest size in the Star Trek Omnibus: The Original Series collection in 2010.
