Notes
- This issue reveals that Per Degaton has become a living paradox similar to Eobard Thawne.
Trivia
- Madame Xanadu's Snowglobe-induced visions reference Alan Scott saving Red Lantern, Jay Garrick finding joy again and Sandman's nightmare wearing his mask which is a nod to the incoming series Alan Scott: The Green Lantern (Volume 1), Jay Garrick: The Flash (Volume 1) and Wesley Dodds: The Sandman (Volume 1).
- Two others say Do not trust the Witch Girl and Beware! Eclipso is within! which tease later storylines with Salem the Witch Girl and Eclipso respectively.
- Madame Xanadu mentions sensing a "storm" inside The Snowglobe which is a nod to the globe containing the Flashpoint Timeline.[1]
- The cover of All-Star Comics #35, and its homages from America vs. the Justice Society #4 and JSA #72, are partially reproduced in this issue.
