Countdown - Stretching The Truth / History Of The Multiverse
As Jimmy Olsen leaves his interview at Arkahm Asylum, he doesn't feel he's any closer to understanding the death of Duela Dent than he was before speaking to the Joker. But he's so intent on his phone call to Lois that he's missing something important right behind him. The Trickster and the Pied Piper are working together to earn their way back into the Rogues. But when the Trickster gets some leverage on the Pied Piper, how will he use it? Despite the warnings given to her by Madame Xanadu, Mary Batson has gone directly to Gotham, the one place she was specifically warned away from. Now, pursued by ordinary street criminals, she attempts to take refuge in a building that has been abandoned for some time... the old embassy of Khandaq. Will she find her salvation, or destruction within?
