That issue was the best thing ever. I don't think I stopped smiling once while reading it.

Catching up with my DC single issues, I've come to a few conclusions, lately:
1. Did I miss a WHOLE lot of continuity between "Countdown" 8 and 7? Because I got the grip of things at issue 8, relating to previous events, but man... after issue 7, right to 6, I feel more than a LITTLE bit lost.
2. I'm loving the developments in "Green Lantern" and "GL Corp".
3. If y'all haven't been reading "Death of the New Gods", you only have one more issue to go, before the grand finale, and I can't say enough to READ THIS MINISERIES! (The same goes for "Countdown to Adventure", which also has a month to go.)
4. "JLA" has been getting better, after that slight misstep that was the "Injustice League" arc. Now that the story is crossing over with "Salvation Run", which has also been good, we're getting some of the excitement "step" back.)

1. It's simple. Soloman/Monitor sent the Challengers, Karate Kid, Una, Firestorm, Atom, Harley, Holly, Jimmy, Forager, Mary and the rest were sent to an Earth which was created to become the world of Kamandi. There wasn't anything else to it than that. Jimmy thought that he could go after Darkseid, but that's not the case as Soloman wanted to play another trump card.

THAT'S where I've been quite stumped! Thanks for clearing things up for me!

"Final Crisis!: Legion Of Three Worlds" by Geoff Johns and George Perez.
Highlights.
Geoff Johns posted:
NRAMA: But Geoff, you're going to have all three Legions in this story? One Legion sounds overwhelming enough to a new Legion reader, but three??
GJ: But there's a focus on a group of characters. Certain characters will really get the spotlight. A lot of other characters will be in the background. That's what George does. When you have these big epics and you have dozens and dozens of characters, it can get overwhelming, but there's a focus on a group of characters that have their goals and missions that really represent to me the heart of the Legion. And those characters will be getting most of the attention. But everybody will be in there. Just about everybody.
It's like the Sinestro Corps had a lot going on, but it was focused.
NRAMA: So, just like it didn't matter if you knew the name of every Green Lantern and Sinestro Corps member during Sinestro Corps War, you don't need to know anything about the Legion going into this – is that what you're saying?
GJ: If you do, cool, if not, if you’re a DC fan you’ll enjoy this.
Geoff Johns posted:
NRAMA: So these five issues – do they have a direct tie-in to Final Crisis?
GJ: There is a tie-in that Grant and I have .... yes. But like you could read Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps separately during Sinestro Corps, you can read Final Crisis and Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds completely separate. Or you can read them both.
During Final Crisis, I'm basically Robin to Grant's Batman. I'll be there to help facilitate and support and hopefully energize my books in line with his.
Geoff Johns posted:
NRAMA: OK, let's go back here for a second. When The Lightning Saga was written, you knew this Legion of 3 Worlds story would eventually be told, right?
GJ: Yeah. There was actually a panel in Justice Society #6 that showed the Legions of all three worlds, but we cut it out because we didn't want to show the Legions together until we got to this project.
It was a flashback to the first time the three Legions met, and it was cut because we started planning on doing this. In my mind, they had met a long time ago as really young kids, once, and now they were going to have a second adventure together. So it was an adventure no one ever saw, but we removed the panel because we wanted to show those three Legions together for the first time in the actual Legion of 3 Worlds series.
NRAMA: That was leaked, wasn't it? I saw that original page somewhere online.
GJ: I think it was. I think it was on Dale's original page – the one that was sold. And that's fine. It's no big deal. Dale put so much energy into that so it’s nice people have seen it here and there.
NRAMA: Well, we've seen the teaser image by George Perez that’s in the back of Action Comics this week. And Brainiac 5 is holding that lightning rod.
GJ: Oh yeah. What lightning rod was that? [laughs]
NRAMA: [laughs] The one from the end of The Lightning Saga.
GJ: Ooooooh! Right! I forgot we had that loose end to tie up. Oops. [laughs]
NRAMA: So... that little face we saw in the lightning rod at the end of Lightning Saga wasn't just a printing error, was it?
GJ: [laughs] That lightning rod is definitely a point we'll deal with. It's the one loose end that was purposely left for this series.
NRAMA: So that specifically will be dealt with in this series, and we'll find out who or what is housed within.
GJ: Absolutely. And why the Legion has it.
Geoff Johns posted:
NRAMA: For the folks among our readers who are amateur Legion historians, when does this story take place in each Legion's history?
GJ: It's now. Right now for everybody. It's as current as the main book itself.
NRAMA: So the very latest that we've seen any of these Legions – that’s when this takes place?
GJ: Yep.
NRAMA: Everything in their history – is it all canon now?
GJ: Yeah.
NRAMA: So, nothing's been wiped away by any crisis or time-altering event?
GJ: We find out really where all those "wiping aways" and the various plans throughout the universe and history were orchestrated – like when Superboy was found to be an imposter right after the first Crisis, and then when they were wiped away in Zero Hour – there’s a connection to all that stuff. Someone's been screwing with the Legion for a very long time.

Geoff Johns speaks at CBR about "Legion Of Three Worlds" as well as Brainiac and Toyman. And he discusses his core Legion membership.
Also at CBR, Johns speaks about Green Lantern.

The three latest Countdown issues are the three worst comics ever published at any time in history.

Never forget that for as many times as DC fumbles, Marvel will do so five times over that single DC instance.

I'd agree with you, but if you look at the sales figures Marvel is beating DC almost every time.

No.
One More Day was pretty bad, but at least it's led to Brand New Day, which is excellent. Even if nothing remotely important in Brand New Day needed One More Day in order to happen. Also, while the plot was somewhat worse than something a three year old could write while drunk, stoned and suffering from... from... something bad, the art and writing were decent.
The art in Countdown is passable. Beyond that...
