No way do I believe John met Missouri in a pool hall.
That part totally threw me! I thought that John would find Missouri maybe in the way that Sam and Dean did - through the phone book maybe, or perhaps someone he knew suggested he go see her. But a pool hall?? Weird, that's for sure.
And yeah, we talked about the car accident thing in another post here - like you, I don't believe for a second that John and Dean would've lied to Sam like that. Makes absolutely no sense, especially with the way that John certainly didn't hide the fact that he was hunting. That was the biggest thing that turned me off from issue one - that lie.
As for the Impala, I suppose that the station wagon was Mary's car, as she probably toted the kids around more than John did. And the Impala is on the cover of issue # 2, so it'll make an appearance shortly. :-)
And the second big thing that turned me off was the fact that Mary died on her birthday. What?? And this fact wasn't important enough to bring up in the actual show?? That's huge!
I'm left scratching my head, but I know I'll still buy the other issues, just out of curiosity. It's a shame that canon stuff is so messed up in the comics, because I was hoping to use things in there about Sam and Dean's childhood in any stories I write in the future. But now? Certainly doesn't seem likely since nothing matches up with canon.
