Indexer Notes

It is revealed in Justice Society of America (DC, 2007 series) #20 that the members of Justice Society Infinity reside not on the original Earth-2 seen in DC comics published from 1961 through 1986, but on a new version of Earth-2 created by the actions of Alexander Luthor and Superboy-Prime in Infinite Crisis (DC, 2005 series).
