We-- all of us live in constant crisis. In constant chaos. Every day. I want to stop for one minute, today, and celebrate that our sister, Wonder Woman, has returned to us.

Notes
- This is the third and final annual for Justice League (Volume 4), which will end with issue #75.
- This comic was originally solicited as Justice League 2021 Annual #1, but its release was delayed until 2022; the book was also swapped with Justice League Dark 2021 Annual (Volume 2) #1.
- This story takes place some time after the events of Justice League (Volume 4) #74.
- The Gold Lantern storyline is continued in Justice League vs. the Legion of Super-Heroes (Volume 1).
- The original Post-Flashpoint O.M.A.C.'s Future was set some time between the 25th Century and the 31st Century.[1] However, in this story, it is set in late 21st Century, like in the Pre-Flashpoint continuity. This could be a change due to the destruction of the Hypertime and and the rebirth of all the Creation.
- This issue is reprinted in Justice League: Leagues of Chaos.
Trivia
- A picture showing the JLA fighting Starro uses the cover of The Brave and the Bold #28.
