Issue Notes

1 in 10 variant.

This issue went on sale two weeks after the solicited date and with new content. This issue was solicited to have the next part of the "Grounded" storyline, but DC announced via a press release on 2011-06-21 (the day before this issue shipped) that there would be a fill-in issue substituted for the solicited contents, saying that "DC Comics determined that the previously solicited story did not work within the 'Grounded' storyline."

Printed on 6/10/11.
