Three of the issues making up the "Distant Mirrors" group were published between the "Season of Mists" and "A Game of You" story arcs.

"Convergence" appeared between the "A Game of You" and "Brief Lives" story arcs. It contains Issues #38 "The Hunt", #39 "Soft Places" and #40 "The Parliament of Rooks".
