Trivia

 * In Innocents Lost, the scrying crystal has a purple color. Now the crystal has a blue color, however, the color might be chosen just for the cover.
 * This is the first cover to feature scrying.
 * This issue explains how the Warrens came to be fully magical witches without Melinda's parents being magical at all.
 * The words on Cover B are a spell. It's the protection spell that Serena Fredrick cast in Something Wicca This Way Comes.
 * Paige makes a reference to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Phoebe did this earlier in Season 1.
 * Issues 8 and 9 photo covers feature photos from the same photo shoot. The girls wear the same clothes although in this issue Rose McGowan's top has been colored black.
 * This issue directly follows the event of Oh, Henry with Piper Halliwell being sent into a parallel dimension by Neena.
 * Paige wears the same necklace that she is seen wearing on the covers of Issue 2 and 8.
 * When asked in Twitter, Holly Marie Combs said that Seidman's cover is brilliant.
 * Paul Ruditis has decided not to reveal the title because of spoiler issues, but instead organized a small contest on Twitter. Everyone could tweet him with two titles for the issue. The title that won was "Desperately Seeking Piper".
 * That name is reminiscent of the title of a movie starring Madonna - "Desperately Seeking Susan".
 * Paul Ruditis feared the title would spoil a big part of the story arc which is why he didn't want to give away so soon. Based on the real title, it could be that Neena used The Nothing to capture Piper. It is also possible that a big choice will have to be made.
 * Paul Ruditis later stated that "The All or Nothing" title is actually not the original spoilery title he had chosen as he had to change it.
 * In Oh, Henry the Elders lightning color was the normal white blue but in this issue it is yellow.
 * This is the first comic in which Paige doesn't use any of her powers.
 * Cole Turner returns for this issue.
 * The true nature and history of both witches and warlocks is revealed.
 * Charmed once again takes creative justice with already established mythologies or religions as it works the story of Adam and Eve into the history of magic.
