Notes
- The "IMPeriled" story continues in Batman/Superman: World's Finest #25.
- "The Ties That Bind" story takes place just after the battle with NewMazo from Batman/Superman: World's Finest #17.
- The "Sting Like a Bee" story takes place during the Prime Earth version of the events of Teen Titans #31 as the journalist on tv mentions "the Teen Titans defeating a brainwashing madman" (Dr. Pauling) in Elford University.
Trivia
- In the "IMPeriled" story:
- Green-Mite's "avatar" is obviously a mashup between Green Arrow (Oliver Queen) and Green Lantern (Hal Jordan);
- One of the Imps mentions that Hawkman "can't keep his origins straight" which is a nod to Hawkman's origins being changed several times through the various continuities due to his existence shifting between Carter Hall and Katar Hol.
- However, this was actually resolved in Hawkman (Volume 5);
- Green-Mite states the he wants "chili" which is a nod to Green Arrow's famous chili;
- The Flash-like Imp states that "the The Flash is the best tv series". However, Green-Mite replies that "he fought the same villain for five seasons" which is a reference to Eobard Thawne (or his time remnants) being the main antagonist during Season 1, Season 5, Season 7, Season 8 and Season 9.
