Notes
  • * This issue is reprinted in the Superman: Up, Up, and Away! trade paperback. * This issue is part of the One Year Later event, which follows the Infinite Crisis limited series, and the 52 maxi-series. * Mahjoub the pretzel vendor appeared last in Superman (Volume 1) #650. In this issue, Superman accepts a free pretzel from him before flying off towards the North Pole. Ironically, Superman's last interaction with Mahjoub was as Clark Kent. * This is the first and only known appearance of Kryptococcus, the Omni-Germ. * Bratten, the Daily Planet reporter, appeared last in Action Comics #839. * St. Martin's Island is not referenced by name in this issue, but it can be correctly identified by its relative positioning to the island of New Troy. * It is mentioned in this issue that although Lex Luthor is taken to Stryker's Island Penitentiary, he escapes only a few hours later with the help of some flying robots.

  • I'll always be there. Always. It's not the powers. Not the cape. It's about standing up for justice. For truth. As long as people like you are out there, I'll be there. Always.
