- I try to resist. I really do. But he slides his fingers through my thoughts, and blocks and tweaks and rearranges, until what I see is what he wants. No path makes sense to me except the one he offers. There is no hope and no salvation. There is only Etrigan. I had no idea I was capable of this. But people change.

Notes
- In October of 1994, all of the existing mainstream DC Comics titles released a special "0" issue to coincide with the Zero Hour crossover event. The purpose of the "0" issue was to reveal a previously unknown aspect of the title character's background. DC Titles under the Vertigo imprint were largely unaffected by Zero Hour and thus, no "0" issue specials were published for them.
- Zero Hour provides Jason Blood and Ertigan with a new backstory. Any previous origins should be considered 'false memories' manipulated by the demon.
