I'm not going to say that they're copying Darkseid's whole dealie in Countdown because the writers of Countdown by no means invented that motif but...yeah that looks a lot like what Darkseid was doing in Countdown, even down to a bunch of hero-shaped pieces knocked over.

To what are you exactly reffering, haven't read countdown.
Or do you just mean the cover?

The cover. Countdown to Final Crisis was basically just a chess game between Darkseid and Solomon the Monitor. A chess game which Darkseid eventually won.

Countdown ripped off Dormammu's chess battle with Odin.

Like I said, it was by no means a new idea. I'm sure the writers of that comic stole it from something older as well.

The cover is pretty good though, as it highlights what Doom is doing in the series.

K. But Countdown isn't exactly the most original ever, so I don't see why you'd point to Countdown.

Darkseid's chess thingy in Countdown is the one I remember. I'm a Darkseid fanboy remember?

My post was more or less meant as a joke, I would be heavily suprised if a cover like this wasn't used before (as you two already pointed out). The whole "chess metaphor" is as old as time itself.

Except I'm self-aware and actually have some grasp of the character I love so much and his capabilities. 😛

I remember only one instance where Quan said Thanos would lose. It was in the Thanos/IG vs Scathan thread.

Doomwar is better than Countdown and has nothing to do with Countdown's premise.

Omega is a batshit crazy Darkseid fan rivaling Quan also.
