Non-canon chapters
All the chapters are canon in the Arrowverse, except for chapters 11 to 18, chapter 21 and chapter 22:
- In the second season of The Flash, the "King Shark" episode, Shay Lamden of Earth One is dead, and in The Flash: Season Zero, he is alive and he is became King Shark. Consequently, all chapters dealing with King Shark (chapters 11 to 18) are non-canon. In conclusion, the Shay Lamden from TV series is canon, while Shay Lamden from The Flash: Season Zero is non-canon.
- In the first season of DC's Legends of Tomorrow, the "Marooned" episode, Leonard Snart explains to Sara Lance that the first time wheb he meets Mick Rory, Rory helped Snart from getting bullied. But in The Flash: Season Zero comics, Snart meets Rory when he wanted a good partner. Consequently, these chapters dealing with Snart meets Rory when he wanted a good partnet are non-canon. In conclusion, "Of Fire and Ice" and "Of Ice and Fire" chapters are non-canon in the Arrowverse.
