COUNTDOWN follows up the events of bestsellers INFINITE CRISIS and 52 and leads into DC's next major event, FINAL CRISIS. When a surprising character dies in chapter one, it sets off an unexpected ripple that will touch virtually every character in the DC Universe and change the status quo forever.I like it !!! How can any one be closed minded with comics? I thought we read 'em to kinda keep us away from all that. I thought the art was fantastic ..if hurried ,, that makes it even more remarkable! I for one was not dissappointed ..Mary Marvel was worth the price of addmission..
