Notes
- Pandora has appeared in every first issue of the New 52's first and second waves, except Earth 2. Writer James Robinson confirmed in a podcast with Comic Vine that she was originally planned to appear in Earth 2, but was removed late in production due to Earth 2 being set in a separate universe.
- Dan DiDio has stated on numerous occasions that the naming of the event and the number of titles published were on the advice of Jim Lee, who insisted on 52 titles in keeping with DC's former uses of the number after DiDio had initially only planned for 48 titles.
