I’m giving Countdown a stay of execution. While the series didn’t improve much this week, the Jimmy Olsen story alone is going to keep me around for at least one more. So, let’s go through the quick and dirty. This week, Jimmy Olsen decides to do some investigating after he receives an odd note at…
I am totally phoning this one in. One of my best friends is in town, and we’ve been hanging out all day, so, at this point, well, I’m more than drunk, and I must say, I am completely bored by this issue of Countdown. I feel I shouldn’t even dignify it with a response. That’s…
Well, folks, I’m pretty drunk, so you know what time it is. It’s time to review the newest issue of Countdown and talk about what happened in it and stuff. Let’s run through the quick-and-dirty real quick. Mary Marvel meets with Black Adam, newly re-powered, in the remains of the Kahndaq Embassy in Gotham City….
I think my criticism against Countdown was a tad premature. I really enjoyed this issue. Whaddya say we run through the plot points real quick. Things open where they ended last time, with Killer Croc breaking free and attacking Jimmy Olsen, who pulls a Plastic Man and warps all out of place; The Monitors talk…
Let’s recap. Jimmy Olsen finds the Red Hood and questions him about events in the last issue. Red Hood directs him to the Joker. The Joker claims he’s never had a daughter. Killer Croc escapes in the last page and looks to be ready to go Sobek on the little guy. Elsewhile, Mary Marvel still…
I sure could have used a break. Don’t get me wrong, I loved “52,” and I’m just as excited as the next comic fan for “Countdown,” but, seriously, they could have at least given us a week off to enjoy the finale of one series before throwing us right into the next. The cover of…
Phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal. I don’t think I’ve had this much fun reading a comic book in years. The end of 52. And, yet, the beginning of so much else. Way back in Week Seven, I went on and on about how much potential Booster Gold has as a hero, and, well, this issue, all of…
The secret of 52 is that the multiverse still exists. How much cooler would this week’s issue be if Dan Didio hadn’t let that little bit of information spill out all those months ago? 52 worlds. 52 Morrows. Apparently, a year ago, when Alexander Luthor’s hands were tearing open space and time, way out near…
Well, my Kurt LODers, the week we had all been looking forward to has come and gone – the week of DC’s World War III. It was the story too big to be told in the pages of 52 – the story that would tie up all the loose ends still lingering after twenty-five twenty…
Part four picks up with virtually every DC hero–sans the big three, but including Power Girl’s jubblies–standing at the Great Wall of China while Black Adam wails on China’s Great Ten. The divergent plot lines–the resurrection of the Suicide Squad, Martian Manhunter’s soul searching and Black Adams’s rampage, collide with heart-punching results. Green Lantern Alan…
