Wow. That would be a prefectly delightful plot twist. That sort of revelation could drive the Earth-2 Superman over that "fine line between genius and insanity".
I could be wrong but doesn't 'ol Clark look a little mesmerized in that last panel? I'm beginning to really wonder about the mental health of our "Strange visitor from another planet". If Superboy could be encouraged to go berserk then perhaps the older Kal-el could go just as mad under carefully arranged circumstances (the trademark of a Luthor btw).
Yeah, I'm actually looking forward to each issue..of a crossover..whodathunkit?

Well, I finally picked up the latest issue, and once again I am appalled at the graffic nature of this series. The images of the Titan deaths were a bit excessive, I think. Kill them if need be, but those characters have their fan base too, I'm sure, and I would bet that those fans would have preferred that the characters "die heroically" rather than be mutilated.

I think having Click Here For A SpoilerPantha's head knocked off was bad enough, but having it bounce across the ground to land in front of her "family" was tacky. And as a Risk fan, I was disappointed that they brought him out of limbo just to rip off his arm. He didn't even get to do anything.

I just hope there's a point to all of this. There's an awful lot of blood being spilled, and if we're just doing it to either a) give everyone a big sigh of relief when it turns out that somehow all this mayhem has been averted when everything turns out okay or b) just to show how important and world changing this crossover is, I'll be disappointed.

I think that's what a large part of our feeling this way is, AFOB.

Here you go:
Click Here For A Spoiler
Everyone's confused because of all the heroes who disappeared last issue, including the heroes themselves, who find themselves on a deserted Earth-2.
Booster Gold and the New Beetle visit the Batcave to join his group that he's organizing to go against Brother Eye.
Earth-2 Superman and Lois are happy to be home, until Lois dies. Supes screams out Lois's name, which is apparently heard by the other Supes on Earth-1, who comes racing. They fight.
Wonder Woman receives a visit from Earth-2 Wonder Woman, who tells her that she is fading from existence, but that WW needs to help Supes. She says something about not trying to be perfect, but being human.
WW interrupts the two Supes fighting. Earth-1 Supes says something along the lines of "If you're from this Earth, it can't be perfect. The perfect Earth doesn't need a Superman." Earth-2 Supes suddenly realizes that he's been duped, and the plan was never to bring back Earth-2.
Cut to Alex, who is pushing the next step in his master plan to bring back all of the infinte earths until he finds the perfect one to survive. Along the way he drops some information about various post-Crisis heroes (Breach, Huntress, Kyle Raynor) being from "Earth-8", which is really puzzling.
Thousands of Earths appear in the sky as Superboy and Nightwing prepare to attack Luthor in the arctic.
A Flash appears in Tokyo, where he tells Dr. Light that "they couldn't hold him".
Superboy-Prime re-appears, wearing the Anti-Monitor's armor.

Click Here For A Spoiler Breach was to be the Captain Atom of Earth 8. The current Huntress Helena, Kyle Rayner and Jason Rusch Firestorm were supposed to be that Earth 8 versions of GL and Firestorm. So is it safe to say that any new version of a hero we have seen was supposed to be Earth 8's version? Conner Hawke being that worlds Green Arrow. Tim Drake being that worlds only Robin? What do you think the signficane of Earth 8 is?
Also, Dido did an interview for Newsarama saying that it was SB Prime punching the wall to this univerise and everytime he did a time ripple would come about. That would help to explain all the retcons, versions and new histories of all the heroes.

Also, Click Here For A SpoilerWonder Woman of Earth-2 amuses me. Actually, both Wonder Womans amuse me. And, w00t~ for the return of Zauriel!! I him.
Oh, and the Earth-8 stuff made me giggle. I'm not sure why... maybe it was just the mental image of those particular heroes being the only ones on their earth. It'd be... something, all right.
P.S. Did anybody know Ragman was Jewish? That too amused me. As did Blue Devil's appearance. I do so love the Shadowpact.

I thought it was common knowledge Ragman was Jewish. At least that's how I remember the mini that introduced this version being set up.
