Notes

• The "Mask and Monsters" story takes place during the events of Lazarus Planet: Alpha #1.
• The "Trilogy", "City Boy" and "Rain of Terror!" stories take place a few days after the events of Lazarus Planet: Alpha #1.
• Ronnie bonding with Doctor Ramirez in "Rain of Terror!" has never been addressed again in any other issue which suggests that this was just a temporary merge.
• The entire issue is collected in Lazarus Planet.
• "City Boy" is collected in City Boy.

Trivia

• In the "Rain of Terror!" story, Ronnie Raymond states that he doesn't trust Martin Stein anymore after discovering that he was the mastermind behind the creation of Firestorm (and the birth of the metahumans). This is clear reference to the events of Doomsday Clock #12.
