Notes

• Each of the Bloodlines annuals for 1993 introduces a new super-hero character. This issue introduces the character "Sparx".
• Superman does not actually appear in this issue. As he was at this point still dead at the hands of Doomsday after the events of "The Death of Superman", in this issue Superboy is filling in for him, one of the four eponymous heroes of the "Reign of the Supermen!" storyline.
• This issue is reprinted in the 2016 trade paperback The Return of Superman.
