Notes:
Page 9 references the covers of All Star Comics #3, All-Star Comics #58, and JSA #1. Maxine Hunkel's line "It's time to try...defying gravity" is a reference to a lyric from the musical Wicked. Despite her appearance on the cover, Maxine Hunkel has not yet chosen the codename or costume of Cyclone. Starman's dialogue references the two series Legion of Super-Heroes and 52. Alex Ross painted one of the panels of the final page.
