from THE COMIC READER #218 (June 1984):

(1) "[DC UNIVERSE: CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS] will forever shake up the struc-
ture of the DC Universe in that the conclusion of the series will result in all
of the various parallel worlds collapsed into one --- i.e. there will no longer
be an Earth-One, Earth-Two, Earth-X, ...[etc.]"

Looks like Hutch's source was right.

(2) "Negotiations for the three suspended Capital books (NEXUS, WHISPER, and THE
BADGER) continues, and currently, the best money is on First Comics being the
one to take them over. Talks with marvel and pacific continued, both of whom ex-
pressed interest only in NEXUS, and with DC and Eclipse, who, like First, were
interested in all three."

Will the population of the final Earth (Earth-?) be n times that of the
original earths?  Will everybody be confronted with several doubles of
themselves?  What about the various funny-animal earths, like that of
Captain Carrot?  Will the funny animals live cheek-by-jowl with Clark Kent?

Or will they just take the daring approach and kill off the other earths!?
(Saving, of course, the various heroes from Earth-2 so we can still see them
from time to time.  But where to put them?  You can't have two Supermen
on Earth!)

Perhaps the Huntress will come to live with Uncle Bruce!
