Countdown #41 - DC

I've said so much to praise this book, that to go on again, I'd just be repeating what I've said in pretty much every blog about it so far. So I'll just start in on the story this issue. Trickster and Piper are in a 32,ooo foot free-fall. But we knew that. Not only from the last page of last issue, but from the obvious state of affairs on the cover. Luckily though on the way out Piper grabbed at anything he could, and he just happened to grab the bag with all their gear in it. Trickster uses his flying boots to slow their fall. That, and the river they fall in, helps them survive. Meanwhile we see Jimmy starting to come up with his Mr. Action secret identity. Mary Marvel is mulling over her current state of affairs. And we see that she's being observed by someone of interest. I believe it's Eclipso. Donna, Jason and Ryan have taken off for the Palmerverse. That's the subatomic world where Ray Palmer would disappear to, to get away from the weirdness in his life. Bob says that he's the key to saving the Multi-verse. Bob? Sorry, that the name Jason has give the Monitor, because he needs to have something to call him by. Holly and Harley have been hanging out in the Athena Women's Shelter. But with all the weirdness going on in the world, anything to do with Amazon's has been targeted by the media. It's only a matter of time before they catch up to this place. Which they do this issue. And finally we get a little glimpse at the recent excursion to our time by the Legion. They're all heading back now, but they've left Karate Kid behind because they say he has an adventure here he has to go through. Triplicate Girl has also stayed to help him. But she's only 1 now, so she's called Una. Also our little history of the Multiverse back-up story is very interesting. It's almost caught up to present time. But what I'm interested in is when they show the bubbles of all the different worlds, and we see, obviously, a WildStorm earth. Also there's one with the Charlton heroes, the Shazam heroes, a Tangent world, and some of the other ones we've come to expect. I can't wait to see, after this series, on what DC is planning on doing with all this re-resurrected raw material. It should make for an interesting line of comics.
