Looks like Superman gets depowered by that issue.  He's in some kind of armor.

It's also obvious by looking at the one year later issues so far that the multiverse hasn't been recreated.

LOL, Jim Lee draws anyone the same.

That's Superboy-Prime of course.

As Super Monkey notes, it's Superboy-Prime in the armor...meh... (grumbles again about how stupid the idea of him becoming a villain is)

Figures... wonder what the point of all this is then (since things don't seem to be lightening up, either), besides making the last vestiges of the pre-Crisis universe (Kal-L, Earth-2 Lois, etc.) look like chumps...

Sad to say this is true about Jim Lee.  I couldn't tell the difference between Superman and Superboy Prime.

They rationalized away Superboy Prime's conversion to evil in their Infinite Crisis special.  The poor boy missed his parents so much. :?

Maybe Lois, Kal-L, and Superboy Prime had to listen to Culture Club and Huey Lewis and the News until the end of time in the Paradise Dimension...

Actually I think there might be 7 issues.  

No that doesn't make much sense, but what about this series has?

Nightwing, do you mean to tell me that you're actually following this series?!

I would have thought that an old curmudgeon like you wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole!

Another old Curmudgeon here...  Actually hopped on Infinite Crisis - first time I'd been to a comic book shop on delivery day in a while... Had to see what they'd do to bring back earth 2

But by Issue 3 I had doubts...

Haven't rushed for the next issues, but will read them eventually...

Sigh - could have been so great.

You only get to use Psycho Pirate once every 20 years...

I'm following it like I follow most things...I read reviews here, other boards and Dial B for Blog, and I keep an ear to the ground at Comic Book Resources and Newsarama to see what's next.  Basically I want to know what the DCU will look like when this is over, like everyone else.  I'm just not willing to spend money reading the build-up to that point.  I don't own any issues of Infinite Crisis or its various lead-ins.

On the other hand, I just bought Superman #650, Action...whatever the new one is, and AS Superman #3 in one go.  That's over 8 bucks worth of comics, probably the most I've spent on new issues since the early 90s (when, incidentally, I got nearly 3 times as many books for the same price).

I actually liked them all, to varying degrees.  So maybe my curmudgeon creds are in jeopardy.  Except that I'm still grousing about the price.

Anyway the reason "7 issues" stuck in my head is because it seems like a dumb number for a mini-series, and puts the end further into the "One Year Later" project than I'm betting they originally planned.
