Author Mike Johnson said, Craig was an mistake and "will be fixed in the TPB". https://twitter.com/mikecomix/status/847273098457960448/photo/1?cn=cmVwbHk%3D&refsrc=email --Tribble-Freund (talk) 11:12, March 31, 2017 (UTC)

A couple of things:
  1. Even though a retcon is likely, the original source remains available so we'll be keeping the name, as the original source remains available, and therefore valid. The retcon will present an alternate name for the character.
  2. as always, Twitter posts aren't published sources valid for inclusion as wiki data -- captainmike Wiki-wordmark 02:06, April 1, 2017 (UTC)
I don't think the correction of a mistake counts as a retcon. I agree that Twitter posts aren't published sources and we should wait until the TPB actually comes out before doing anything. It's possible they might forget to correct the mistake. --NetSpiker (talk) 12:07, April 7, 2017 (UTC)
It is a retcon because even after the TPB is released, i will still own my copy of the comic listing the original name and since my original copy of the book is a valid source, it will continue to be a valid alternate name.
even though the writer has called this a 'mistake', it is entirely possible for an alternate reality to have the same person with a different first name. Maxwell Forrest versus Maximilian Forrest, for example. This is why it is fortuitous that we do not mine author annotations and social media for content, because there's no real error here save for the author's regrets at what was published. -- captainmike Wiki-wordmark 15:27, April 8, 2017 (UTC)
The recap page of Boldly Go #3 calls him Clark Terrell. I don't know what the TPB calls him since I don't have it yet and it's not available on Google Books. --NetSpiker (talk) 04:17, April 3, 2018 (UTC)
