Notes

This comic was given away as part of Free Comic Book Day 2022.
It is a prelude to the Dark Crisis event and follows on the events of Justice League Vol 4 #75 which featured the "death" of the Justice League.
- The issue also contains a preview for Dark Crisis #1.
The story "The History of The Multiverse" reuses panels from Justice League Incarnate #4.

Trivia

While disguised as the Hall of Justice guide, Clayface mentions that "the Justice League Origins are often debated" which is a reference to the various reboots that changed the first meeting of the League.
