Apparently this Earth 51 is to play a pivotal part in this whole Final Crisis thing. Because, the last few issues, this is where we've spent most of our time. But, it seems like Monarch's troops are destroying the whole thing. And now a Monitor . . Bob, I think . . has sent Superman-prime there because he has convinced him that this is the "perfect Earth" that he's been looking for. Meanwhile, Donna has defeated the other Wonder Girl, and has secretly taken her place. She did so to infiltrate her boss' headquarters . . Queen Belthera. She successfully does so, and then successfully defeats the Queen. Putting her in charge of all of her troops. "Ascension by combat! Hail to the Queen!" But that's ok, because later in the story when Monarch's troops are attacking, Donna has enough of her own to sway the battle. Jason, who was originally abducted, has convinced this world's Batman of who he is. In doing so, Bruce has decided to let him return to the mantle of his fallen comrade, Red Robin. He's also swayed him to take a more active role in what's going on in his world. In the last few years he's isolated himself from the rest of the world. But now, this world's Batman and Red Robin . . are back. And they are 2 peas in a pod, because neither of them have the compuncture against lethal violence that the team from our world does. Actually they both seem to relish in it. But it seems that all of this may be moot, because on the final page, Monarch and Superman-prime come face to face. And Superman is pissed. This issue has a neat origin of Gorilla Grodd in the back by Art Adams. A fantastic book. With only 13 issue to go . . there's going to be alot happening here.
