I was bugged, too, by the things that seemed out of canon, like andro said. By 12, Dean would have been well familiar with the whole world they were living in, and firearms.
Also, I was confused by Silas and his coma. Were we supposed to infer that Silas had been in a coma since Mary died? Eight years? And then suddenly wakes up when John arrives, and nobody questions this? Or, was it only a few months that Silas was in his coma? It kind of makes the whole November 2 connection null if it was only a few months. What was the point? Especially if he was able to wake up and talk to Sam before he was killed? Seemed like wasted intrigue to me.
That said, I did enjoy this issue for all the Dean connections. I couldn't help but wonder what must happen to him to change his attitude so completely. Right now, he's belligerent and questioning of John's motivations and actions, something the Dean of 26 would never do. At some point he loses this part of his personality, which I thought had really happened as part of the whole Something Wicked plotline. But since that was when he was 9, and this comic takes place when he's 12, I was wondering--again--if it was just a matter of incontinuity on the author's part. Bah.
