Another great episode. I liked the Sin-Eater storyline when it first came out; Peter David knew how to write serious stories as well as goofy humour. Stan Carter's ultimate fate was "suicide by cop" when he held a kid hostage with an unloaded gun.

I found this map of Symkaria on the Marvel Wiki: https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Symkaria?file=Symkaria_from_Secret_Avengers_Vol_1_19_001.jpg

I guess it fits in somewhere above the former Yugoslavia; I think there was a Marvel Atlas published years ago that showed all the fictional countries, so there might be a better map in there.

It was asked what Jean DeWolff did to get killed. She was the one true innocent in the Sin-Eater's killing spree, as Stan was attracted to her, and the "Sin-Eater" personality couldn't deal with that.

Side note: This storyline also gets retconned into Venom's origin, as it's later revealed that Eddie Brock had reported about the man who falsely confesses to be the Sin-Eater, and when the story has to be retracted, he loses his job in the process, starting his downward spiral which ended up with him meeting the symbiote.
