Brainiac 5 finishes a time viewer, Supergirl (of that time) uses it to look in on Superman. But while doing so, they go through 4 or 5 versions of Superman before getting to the one of the new continuity. Golden Age, Silver Age, Mullet Age, and Birthright. Brainy and Kara look at his past with retcons involving:
Clark's adventures with the Legion
Clark not in civvies when he saved the space plane
Lex in Smallville
Martha's dad's funeral
Donner and Johns' interpretation of Krypton
Superman and the Justice League
And some Loeb stuff including Superman/Batman
Spoiled!

DC should be ashamed of the obvious tentacle rape implied in that picture.

Funny. If DC was doing to start doing tentacle rape, I would have thought they'd do it in the pages of Aquaman.

Oy, they're beginning to do it... Teen Titans #47 has the team arriving at Duela Dent's funeral, and then it says "See Countdown #48 for full funeral".
I don't care cause I steal these comics from the internets, but if I was buying em I'd feel cheated... especially after seeing that the Titans sequence in Countdown is like one page long.

Which, as others have noted, is really counterproductive. A mini series like Countdown should be drawing readers into the ongoing series, not the other way around.

Issue 47
Jimmy has a nightmare that he's part of the source wall. Holly Robinson wants a fresh start. After telling Mary Marvel that hope is a sick delusion, he gives her his powers. All of them. One Monitor (do these guys even have names yet?) attempts to persuade the rest that their job is not to commit murder, yet they must rectify the errors in the new multiverse. He's silenced by his brother who seeks to eliminate the "virus" infecting the multiverse. The Rogues have a party! Oh, and the Amazons Attack.
In the back up, chapter three of the history of the multiverse. Featuring the first appearance of Earth 3 and the Anti Matter Man.

Issue 46
Jimmy chases a story to Suicide Slum where he meets up with Sleez, former servant of Darkseid. Sleez yells "He's here!" just before the building they're in crumbles. Someone says "So begins the end" and blasts Sleez. Mary Marvel finds a piece of the Rock of Eternity. Upon confronting it, out comes the demon Pharyngula, harvester of stillborn souls. They fight and Mary takes a lightning bolt through her body. The Rogues fight in a diner. Donna Troy and Jason Todd do more talking before Jason gets the crap kicked out of him by someone named The Forerunner (she's the weapon of the Monitors, people, spoilers).
In the backup, chapter four of the History of the Multiverse. This time with more Earth One and Earth Two teamups. Red Tornado stuff, both adult Robins (the gay Batman looking one and Earth Two Robin), and the presence of more Earths.

Issue 45The issue where stuff actually happens! Not really. Just more talking. Harbin...er...Forerunner and Troy fight. Donna uses a machine gun ( a fucking machine gun?  ) against Forerunner only to use her wristbands to deflect Forerunner's spikey things. "Oh I intend to give you an old school beat down" Donna says.  A Monitor arrives to stop the fight, then disappears with Jason and Donna. Karate Kid, Doc Mid-nite, Dream Girl, and Starman talk about stuff that's going on in the JLA/JSA crossover. Other Monitors bitch at each other. Jimmy Olsen recaps everything that's been happening to him lately, he also spells out who the New Gods are and his relationship to them. Oh, he's gay for Lightray. Then the end, is that Monarch? Then in Chapter Five of the History of the Multiverse: More meetings between the JLA and JSA with the battle between the two teams and Mordru. Heroes pairing with their counterparts. Blah Blah leading up to a crisis of infinite blah blah.

Issue 44
Mary is teleported to the Rock of Eternity. After getting a lecture from Billy about her desire for power, Mary flips out and decides to pursue her own destiny. Jimmy tests his theory about his powers (that they activate when he's in danger) only to be proven somewhat wrong. He gets punched by a thug, then shoots spikes from his body! Holly ends up with a bunch of Amazons. Piper and Trickster are on the run for killing the Flash. The Monarch approaches Forerunner, convincing her to join him...for now.
Then, Chapter Six of the History of the Multiverse...it's Crisis on Infinite Earths!

Finally, History of the Multiverse chapter seven. A brief summary of events leading from COIE to Infinite Crisis.

So from what (little) I've seen over the past couple weeks Mxy has closed off the path to New Earth's dimension, vowing never to return (another sign of things to come I think). Jimmy is getting his ass handed to him, Mary Marvel is wising up to Eclipso's temptations, and the Challengers visited Earth 12. Looks like the Trickster bit the big one too. Gob help me though, I'm probably wrong on some things.
