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.
