Countdown #39 - DC


First of all, a fantastic Shane Davis cover of Karate Kid and Oracle. Paul Dini and Sean McKeever do the story, and Jim Calafiore does the interior pencils. Overall, a very nice book. Karate Kid and Una have come to the building that Oracle resides in, because he wants some answers. Starman told him he would find them there. He fights his way past some major security systems, but eventually makes it to the inner sanctum. But Barbara, right now, is just to busy to deal with him. She's got a security breach on her computer, and right now she's trying to stop all the information about the world's heroes from being stolen. Meanwhile, Piper and Trickster are hiding in Penquin's basement. What they don't know is that the Suicide Squad has already arrived and are ready to take them in. It's the Bronze Tiger, Plastique, Deadshot and Boomer. Long story short, they escape the grasp of the squad, only to fall in to the hands of the Question and Batwoman. Donna, Jason, Ryan and the Monitor are traveling through subquantum space to a destination that they think Ray may be at. Of course he's not, but there is someone there watching them. Jimmy Olsen is still thrilling at the rush of being Mr Action. But I think he's starting to get a little full of himself. And at the Women's Shelter, Holly has gone to talk to Athena to try to figure out what's going on. But instead Athena has talked her in to going to a self esteem workshop that she's holding. I'm not sure what the point of that part of the story is, but I'm sure we'll get a clearer picture soon. Overall though, a nice story and book. Now we just wait for the next chapter.
