Marvel Knights 4 #27 was the last issue of this series to go by the original series title: Marvel Knights 4. The "Marvel Knights" imprint was folded into the broader main Marvel line. With the next issue, the series title was simply Four. So the next issue after this is 4 #28 or Four #28.

An alternative form of this story's title is: “Threshold of Revelations”. Webpage for Marvel Knights 4 #27 (Apr. 2006) created 18 January 2011. Last modified 27 December 2013.
