Story continues from Justice League (DC, 2018 series) #39 "Justice / Doom War Finale". At the end of that issue, the heroes disappeared into a void, this issue shows that in flashback. However the flashback shown here includes Green Lantern Hal Jordan when in the original issue it was Green Lantern John Stewart who was present instead.

Wally West is shown here after he gained the powers of Doctor Manhattan, as shown in Flash Forward (DC, 2019 series) and The Flash #750.

Indexer Notes

Story has 1 named chapter:
The Big Rock

Art credited pages don't sync up correctly, credits indicate the story is 38 pages. Story is actually 43 pages, which includes a 2 page title spread (pages 2-3), and a chapter title page (page 29). Greg Capullo art continues until page 33, then 8 pages of Yanick Paquette art (credited as pages 29-36, actually pages 34-41), and then the last 2 pages by Bryan Hitch (credited as pages 37-38, actually pages 42-43). Even if the 3 title pages are not included in the story page count, the credits are still wrong, as then the Paquette pages would be pages 31-38, not 29-36, and the Hitch pages would be pages 39-40, not 37-38.
