- The indicia for this issue reads JLA/Doom Patrol Special, but the cover reads Justice League of America/Doom Patrol.
- On pages 26-27 covers of each of the Justice League of America members' first appearances is shown (historical first appearance, not New 52 first appearance): Justice League of America #75 for Black Canary (Dinah Laurel Lance), Action Comics #521 for Vixen, Omega Men #3 for Lobo, Ray #1 for Ray (Ray Terrill), DCU: Brave New World #1 for Atom (Ryan Choi), and The Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Man #19 for Killer Frost (Caitlin Snow). Also shown is Action Comics #1 as well as the first page of All-Star Superman #1 for Milkman Man, though it is later revealed that this is not a transformed Superman.
Solicitation:
- “MILK WARS” part one! Welcome to the un-event of the year! Kicking off a line-wide adventure, DC’s Young Animal collides with the DC Universe to bring you a different kind of crossover.
- The Doom Patrol has discovered that an interdimensional corporation called RetCo has been stealing stories, reconfiguring them and repackaging them for new markets. Our gang of misfit heroes have felt the touch of this nefarious company, and it has already started to change them. Even scarier, though, is how deeply RetCo has embedded itself into current continuity, using the radioactive milk of psychic cows to quell the more dangerous impulses of the Justice League and turn them into heroes safe for the masses. And to kick this off, RetCo has gone all the way to the top.
- Meet Milkman Man, heretofore unknown final son of Krypton, who was sent to our planet to save him from the destruction of his homeworld, only to be adopted by an evil dairy farmer and raised to love all things dairy!
- Co-plotted by Steve Orlando and Gerard Way, with art by ACO (MIDNIGHTER), this extra-sized special starts “Milk Wars” with a splash!
- Plus, who is Eternity Girl, and how does she connect to this whole scheme? A special four-part back-up feature by Magdalene Visaggio (Kim and Kim) and Sonny Liew (The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye) begins here.

Comment(s):
- This story appears as if it was a reprint from 1956's Astounding Tales #32, the debut of the Formless Girl created, written and pencilled by George Sumner. This is, however, an original story and marks the first appearance of Eternity Girl.
- This story is continued in Mother Panic/Batman Special #1/2.
