DC's Countdown

Ultra Humanite? d'oh, i remember him, from jlu... silly me...

i thought maybe the guy on the left was a future roy, but i know its just a shot in the dark...

Who I'm worried about is Mary Marvel. It seems to me that in her search of powers she might be turn into a villain. I would really hate that...she is one of the sweetest gals in the DCU. Would really suck to see her go SBP in the end.

i liked the page with the 'wwmmd' badge... it's going to be interesting...

Countdown looks to be better than 52 because I like every character unlike 52 were some of the sub lots turned me off. Only problem I have with countdown is the hurtin it gonna put on my wallet.

She won't ❌

I have a feeling Eclipso is going to try to corrupt her, like she did with the Spectre, but in the end Mary won't turn into a villan

But, I really want to see a more in depth look into Mary's character.

Billy's always had the spotlight because he was Cap.Marvel and Black Adam got his fair share in 52. Now Freddy is the new Shazam (isn't that what he's going by now?), so he's got his trials book, but poor Mary is still left behind.

I mean, we all love powergirl, and the current supergirl is a stupid b*tch so I think it's time for Mary to become a bigger part of the DCU

I hope so...repeating the same story of a young superhero becoming evil...would really ruin the story.

Here are next week previews:

so obviously things go south with the legion then...

I didn't notice this at first but in the pic of Superman his sleeves are the Earth-2 style. Just thought that was interesting.

JLA #9

the other guy is Degaton: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degaton

So is that Degaton, Ultra Humanite and Despero (a different version)? or is it someone else completely...

That's what Despero originally looked like before he absorbed the Flame of Pytar I believe.

i just remember seeing an old pic of despero...

is there anyone else it might be?

An Upcoming cover for Countdown:

I think Countdown will beat 52 for best covers. 👆

I liked JG's art on the 52 covers, but I think the Countdown covers a bit more well thought through 😬

So far, Countdown >> 52

It's got more interesting characters, a more interesting plot and it's not as generic.

Is that Mary Marvel? 3 things I get from that picture. 1. Somebody (probably Black Adam) is gonna repower her. 2. If it is Black Adam (guessing because of the black outfit) then he's gonna get his powers back first. 3. Mary's into bondage. naughty Sick cover. 👆

Yup, that's her! Gotta love her shorter skirt.

I think there is a chance Mary might discover the secret word BA is searching. That might explain her new costume.

Let's wait and see...😉

I really liked the first 2 covers for Countdown, but to be consitantly as good as 52 is gonna be a challenge.

I hope Darkseid smacks him down with the quickness so that the "supermn beatz his azz!!!11!!" people will shut up, and I even like Superman.
