Earth 2: Futures End #1 (HERE BE SPOILERS!)

Here we go again.

This issue reads almost exactly like "Detective Comics:  Futures End" #1.  The author is under the gun to reveal a specific fact about the future -- in this case, that the residents of Earth 2 abandoned it for Earth -- but everything else makes little sense.  Mr. Terrific and two versions of Terry Sloan are in some sort of battle for portable boom-tubes, though we never learn what either Sloan wanted with them.  We also learn that Sloan is from neither Earth nor Earth 2, though I have no idea what we're supposed to do with this information.  In other words, the only thing that this issue does is set up the premise of "Earth 2:  World's End," since it seems that said series will result in its inhabitants abandoning it for "our" Earth.  The problem is that I don't believe it.  Are we really going to see Earth 2 destoryed?  It seems rather unlikely.

In other words, I just saved you another $3.99.
