Trivia
- Hawkwoman accidentally addresses Ice as Power Girl in this issue, though this may have been the result of a misdirected word balloon.
- Dove's appearance in this issue poses a continuity problem: Justice League Europe #31 shows that Armageddon 2001 #2, in which Dove died, takes place before the JLE's encounter with the Norse gods in War of the Gods #2, so she should be dead at this point.
- This is the first time where Zatanna fights a zombified version of Zatara. She will fight him again during the Blackest Night.
- The first Dove is seen zombified in this issue. During Blackest Night that would be impossible since he attained peace.
- Commander Steel is seen zombified in this issue. He is seen again in Eclipso: The Darkness Within, alive without explanation, only to die again in a mission.
- The first Mister Terrific is seen zombified in this issue. He is seen zombified again during Blackest Night.
