DC's Countdown

Things seem to really be picking up now. (took long enough)

I'm also glad they didn't touch on every story this issue and just focused on a couple.

this week's issue was my personal favorite out of every one so far- things actually happened.

Black Mary being presented as a weapon to Darkseid an Desaad entering the Firestorm Matrix? That's cool stuff.

hey, to anyone who's read this week's countdown already-

why was Darkseid's face chilling in Bludhaven? Was he just watching Karate Kid and company? Or did he have something to do with the destruction of Bludhaven that I don't know about? Or did he actually just superimpose his face against all nuclear craters, because, ya' know, that's just how he likes to do things?

Well according to Wikipedia Darkseid is manipulating reality from far Apokolips with chess pieces.

The covers for Arena look really awesome!

Might make a siggy out of one of them.

I'm really glad to see the return of GL Bruce Wayne. It was among my favorite Elseworld titles.

Can we get scans of Arena issues since they'll be EPIC !

It's either that or waiting a year for teh TPB.

Mine too and I feel that things are slowly developing nicely.

Do I see an Apollo look a like? Or Apollo himself. Mmmm.

looks like apollo to me. also just to get this clear Monarch is still captain atom right?

Why the hell is Apollo there ?

Ach ! The art...it's kinda shitty....

Superboyman Prime casually and easily destroying a planet was pretty cool.

He also INCINERATES Batman with nothing but the friction of reentry.

And Desaad ALREADY loses the Firestorm matrix. Pfft.

Actually a good issue for once.

Too cool:

Whoops. Apparently, KMC censors words even in links. The **** should be fuck.

It's not a good week for Darkseid or Desaad fans in either Countdown or Batman/Superman.

For once Countdown was actually pretty decent. Still hate the "new" SBP costume though.

What happened in S/B?
