After many years, I was finally free of my prison... and would soon use that freedom to destroy all there is.

Notes[]

  • This issue continues retelling the history of the reborn iteration of Prime Earth. The events depicted in this issue span from the aftermath of Crisis on Infinite Earths to the return of Barry Allen in Final Crisis , adapting the Modern Age events within the continuity of Prime Earth.
  • There are many changes to the DC continuity:
    • The issue confirms that Post-Flashpoint Power Girl is a Temporal Paradox, as she was displaced from the Pre-Crisis Earth-Two to Prime Earth at the end of the First Crisis. However, in the new continuity, she lost her memories, which eventually returned during the Infinite Crisis.
      • Similarly, the Kents from Earth-Two/"Earth-2", Earth-Three/"Earth-3" Alex Luthor, and Earth-Prime Superboy are confirmed to be survivors of the Pre-Crisis Multiverse. Like in the original continuity, they lived in the Paradise Dimension before making their return in Infinite Crisis.
    • Beth Chapel, Yolanda Montez, and Rick Tyler all debuted after the Crisis in the revised timeline. They were the first member of Infinity, Inc., like in the original continuity.
    • Billy Batson also debuted just after the Crisis. The events of Justice League (Volume 2) #0 are confirmed to be his origins in the reborn Prime Earth.
    • Roy Harper now discovered the existence of his daughter Lian after the Crisis.
    • The return of Superman during the Reign of the Supermen saga now occurs before the Knightfall storyline.
    • According to this issue, the Supergirl who died in Crisis on Infinite Earths is the one and same Supergirl who debuted in The Supergirl from Krypton storyline. In the new continuity, Darkseid resurrected her, rather than her having come from Krypton.
    • The birth of Jon Kent is once again retconned. In the reborn timeline, he was born during Superman's one-year retirement from 52 (Volume 1). In the original timeline of Prime Earth, Jon's existence was originally a Temporal Paradox– as Jon was born from Clark and Lois' Pre-Flashpoint selves during the Convergence– later merged into the past of Prime Earth during the cosmic upheavals from Superman: Reborn.
    • This issue reveals that Damian Wayne was artificially aged to childhood. It is very possible that he ages slower than normal humans, which could explain why he is a teenager– as he turned fourteen in Robin (Volume 3) #1, whose events chronologically occur in 2021– in modern days (2025).
    • Damage (Grant Emerson) is mentioned to be only a descendant of Atom (Al Pratt). In the New Earth continuity, he was son of Pratt.
  • Many events and concepts are missing in the new history of the DC Multiverse:
  • The DC Timeline is based on research by Mark Waid and Dave Wielgosz. There is also a special thanks to John Wells.
