Notes

• This is technically the last Justice League Dark story to be set before the death and rebirth of Creation, as the Endless Winter event was originally set in a paradoxical timeline of Earth 0.
  • Wonder Woman's story chronologically continues in the Justice/Doom War storyline and, eventually, in the Dark Nights: Death Metal event.
  • John Constantine's adventures chronologically continue in The Sandman Universe Presents: Hellblazer #1 and, then, in John Constantine: Hellblazer (Volume 1). Both of them take place before the invasion of the Dark Knights and the beginning of the last Metal War.
    • During the events John Constantine: Hellblazer, Constantine still has demon blood in his veins, which means that he had it restored as a consequence of his resurrection in this issue.
• Although it is not named in this issue, the unnamed man from the epilogue is Merlin the Wizard.
  • His story is eventually continued after the rebirth of the Multiverse in Justice League (Volume 4) #61.
• This issue is reprinted in Justice League Dark: A Costly Trick of Magic.
