Notes

• The epilogue of this issue takes place three days after the defeat of Per Degaton, just after the events of Stargirl: The Lost Children (Volume 1).
• Helena Wayne's Future is erased from existence due to her interference with Earth 0's past. However, she seems to have become a living paradox like Per Degaton, Eobard Thawne and Power Girl.
• The Legion of Super-Heroes of an alternate future depicted in this issue resemble their "retroboot" selves, introduced by Geoff Johns with Brad Meltzer in Justice League of America: The Lightning Saga, and supplanted in continuity by the post-Rebirth Legion.

Trivia

• Helena Wayne mentions that her father will be killed by Bill Jensen. This is a reference to the Golden Age character, William "Bill" Jensen, which is the killer of Earth-Two Batman.
• In the possible future of Earth 0 where Per Degaton's Army defeats the heroes of Earth, Geo-Force is shown to be a member of Black Lightning's Outsiders. This may suggest that, in the near future, he will be released from A.R.G.U.S.' jail where he was imprisoned because of his actions in the Shadow War.
