Boolah did the Page Layouts for the entire issue, so today's really cool page was all his doing. Except for that trainwreck in the the lower right corner. I was experimenting, and it went wrong, and when you're under the gun and an experiment blows up in your face, you just roll with it and move on.
Anyway, my Photoshop boo-boos aside, in the upper left hand corner we have a group of Ortex Executives. The big one in front, of course, is Jack DuPre, aka the Deathbringer, CEO of the Ortex Corporation and "President" of Earth. The man in white is his Executive Vice President and CFO of the Ortex Corporation, Johny Styles. The Old Fellow is Old One Eye, who has bedeviled the Clown on numerous occasions. The white guy with Big Hair, is the Lawyer from Hell, Luther Dirge, who, incidentally, is not dressed as the Pope of the Church of Ortex on this page, which means that that organization hasn't been formed yet. Lastly, the Blue Guy is the traitorous Akuma Boy, which means this flashback occurs at some point after the Fall of the Skull Mob at the End of the Candy Colored War.
If you'll look closely at the Lower Left Hand Panel, you will notice that Old One Eye's Demon form is part of the attacking Ortex force. If you'll remember from "Clown & Penguin" #1-2, when Old One Eye appears he has a Harem of Angel Slaves that serve under him. This was Old One Eye's reward for participating on the attack on Heaven. So there's that little puzzle piece.
