   I haven't seen the Final Four yet, and I've avoided most of the spoilers.
Maybe if I'd seen them I'd have an answer, but at the moment, I'm confused.

   A *live* Markab?  B5 comic #11's "now" looks like it's supposed to follow
_Divided Loyalties_.  However, on page 2, Diane says one of the business
people we see is a *Markab* trader, which would put "now" before _Confessions
and Lamentations_.

   The easy out (if you need one) is to say "she was mistaken".  You can do
that because (1) it makes no difference to the story whether it was a Markab
or not, and (2) it lets you take advantage of art work inaccuracy -- "Markab?
How could she think that was a Markab?  Markab don't look anything like
that!".  :-)

   Or, is this evidence that some Markab still survive?

Well, it may be an error.  It is noted in the show that "A few isolated
colonies may have survived" and a Markab trader would be pretty isolated
I would assume.  He'd probably be pretty ticked off though (assuming he
even knew)

     There's nothing that I'm aware of in comic #11 that would place it
after "Confessions."  It's a general pamphlet prepared by Psi Corps some
time before.
