My task is to record. To write, so that all may be remembered. Perhaps I grow sentimental. Perhaps that is why I called you here. Will you listen, Metron?

Notes

• Chronicler refers to Urgrund as the "Second World" for the first time in the Post-Flashpoint continuity. Previously, it was only referred to as the "First World".
  • In the Pre-Flashpoint continuity, the GodWorld, which later became Urgrund in the modern continuity, was both the "First World" and the "Second World".
• This issue features a first visual appearance of the Greater Omniverse in the Post-Flashpoint continuity.

Trivia

• The Chronicler originally appeared in Dark Nights: Death Metal Rise of the New God #1 where he also resurrected Metron years after his death at the hands of Doctor Manhattan. His appearance heralds the possible death of the Multiverse.
  • Chronicles saying that "he's grown sentimental" is a reference to the events of Dark Nights: Death Metal Rise of the New God #1 where he became fond of the DC Multiverse after reading its stories and discovering its characters.
• Galactica the "Third World" was originally introduced in the Post-Flashpoint continuity in Green Lanterns #23.
