I think that's going a bit far... They almost certainly cannot kill off Earth-2, considering that at least 2 of their books are set there (one in the 80's), so that one'll stick, certainly. And, because there are infinite Earths, there will always be the possibility of finding one that wasn't destroyed by the antimatter. Meanwhile, Earth-Prime had better not be destroyed (otherwise we're all in trouble), Earth-1 won't be destroyed (hard to set your comics on a nonexistent Earth), and I also guess that Earth-X won't be destroyed... Thomas seems to have a fondness for the Freedom Fighters. Meanwhile, though, I'm downright *glad* they're getting rid of such failures as Earth-3 (but I'm also glad that they made it interesting by having Luthor's son rocketed to Earth-1) and Earth-S (at least, I hope they get rid of Earth-S. Put Captain Marvel on some other Earth... maybe even 1 or 2. And get rid of the stupid Earths containing Hoppy, the Wonder Bunny, and Captain Carrot, etc. There were just too many earths altogether. Everytime somebody looked around and saw something strange, you could tell what they would say next: "I must be on a parallel world!" I, for one, am sick of it and am glad that they've finally cleaned out the gutter, so to speak. I'm fairly certain they'll keep 3 or 4 Earths around for good measure (and for storyline possibilities), but the rest can go. I'm tired of having people constantly discovering Earth-4 or Earth-312 or anything. Thank goodness! And thank you, Marv Wolfman!
