Notes
- The crossover event We Are Yesterday continues from Justice League Unlimited (Volume 2) #6 and is continued in Batman/Superman: World's Finest #39.
- The "That's the Way of the World" story partially adapts the events of Green Lantern (Volume 2) #87 into the Prime Earth timeline.
- It is unclear which war John fought in during the flashback. In the reborn timeline of Prime Earth, the Silver Age events are assumed to take place in the early 21st Century, suggesting that the war in question is either the War in Afghanistan or the Iraq War.
- There are several errors in the vision of the Justice League Unlimited:
- Khalid Nassour's Doctor Fate suit actually resembles Kent Nelson's, rather than his usual design;
- The color of Booster Gold's suit.
Trivia
- Batman recalls Dick being displaced back in time during The Devil Nezha storyline.
- Before this issue, Henry Stewart was only featured as a Radiant Dead spectre in Green Lantern: War Journal (Volume 1).
- Senator Jeremiah Clutcher was originally mentioned in the Post-Flashpoint continuity in Green Lanterns #9.
