All right, considering what's planned for the Green Lanterns and how the whole New Gods thing is turning out, I should declare myself the Prophet of Doom (TM) after that last post. Heh.

Back to the thread. #10. Now that's the kind of crack these guys should be smoking. Daaaamn. This is all I need to say: The ACME Magical Mallet of Thalia. If they can just keep it like this for the rest of the run...

#10 was actually semi-decent? Do tell... I'm shocked. I'll have to skim it/Byrne-steal it in the store...

It was, in a sort of way. I can picture these guys going all "fuck this, we're bored, the readers are bored, let's go nuts". Cracky, and of course several "wait, what?" moments. #9 is somewhat back to normal, but the last pages had me again "wait, what?".

I begin to notice a repeated pattern all over Countdown: huge baddies getting obliterated (sometimes more than once, so who knows) in somewhat bizarre ways. Unless they plan a big resurrection party for Final Crisis, I begin to wonder who's going to be left to fight. Except for Mr Mystery Man from the current New Gods mini, who might be "IT".

read the last 2 issues .... (in the store) - still seems like crap to me. Bring on Final Crisis!!

The upcoming TRINITY by Busiek & Bagley might be decent... seems like it has a greater chance of being good than Countdown (consistent writer, consistent artist).
 
 
Papers, anyone, anywhere?

Trinity -- enh. Do we need more Big Three action? I can't help but think I'd be interested in it if it was the crazy shared adventures of Hellboy, Scott Pilgrim, and Yotsuba. You know. Instead.
