The issue was ****ing amazing. Truly. I'm gonna end up re-reading it many times tonight i'd say.
I'm still confident that DC won't be going all Silver Agey. Earth-2 Supes is going to actually sacrifice himself this time round. And there'll only be one Earth after all's done.
And i hope Barry's only back temporarily, and this isn't the end of Wally.
Barry Allen was Mr. Corn-fed Whitebread, dull as dishwater. Wally has been a much more interesting character.
Maybe - they will push Earth-2 faaarrr away, so they don't exist too closely.

I like Barry better than Wally. So, screw you, man.
But, just when you thought they'd FINALLY let Superman not be the perfect superhero and possibly be wrong/bad guy....nope, he was tricked. Even when he is wrong, he really isn't wrong because it isn't his fault.
Goes to show you that even in other universes D.C won't allow Superman to be used for anything too new or radical. They shoulda made E2 a bad guy.
Superboy acts like a friggin' weirdo. It was cool to see him pushing planets around like nothing.
From what I saw, Barry just made a quick appearance and left again... Then again I was reading in a hurry before work last night.
Anyone else been picking up both covers of each issue? I sure have. lol.

I think that this time around though.. assuming the multiverse goes away as many believe it will. Myself included. Superman will meld with the other Supermen, which he never did the first time around, and be his full self again, and probably be incaculably more powerful.
After reading the issue myself I think it's easily the best issue of the series so far. The part with the speedsters makes me pretty confident that Bart Allen will be The Flash especially since his OYL codename is being kept secret along with Kon-El's.
