In the last issue of Countdown, we saw our little Challengers trip to Earth 3. The world of the Crime Society. A quick note, I like the way they're putting the little logo's on the cover that tell us exactly which Earth we're dealing with. In the long run, it's really going to help us with our scorecards. Anyways, we saw what happened. They didn't find Ray Palmer, so they took off. With the Jokester in tow. But on this world, he would actually be a good guy, since the Crime Society are the bad guys. So this book really is just an origin issue for said Jokester. We also find out why Duela kept saying she was the daughter of the Joker. Because she was. This one. I'm also kind of thinking that maybe Jason Todd . . is actually Owlman's sidekick from this world, Talon. Again, I may be wrong, but the Monitor, Bob, has made more than one reference that Jason Todd isn't from our Earth. So where is he from? Anyways, the Jokester is along for the ride now also, with Donna, Kyle, Jason and Bob. And back on Earth 3, Duela's mom, Evelyn Dent, is morning because she lost her husband, the Riddler, her daughter, and now her first true love, the Jokester, as she watches him pass from this world. So there may be some payback coming from one of her 3 personalities. I don't think we've seen the last of Eve. This issue features a great story by Sean McKeever, and fantastic artwork by Jamal Igle. I'm not sure how many more of these specials there will be, but I think it's kinda neat that we get a glimpse in to all of these different worlds. The next one, is the world of Red Rain. You know. The story with Batman and the Vampires and all that.
