Countdown #35 - DC


Here's the lowdown - Donna, Jason and Ryan are trapped in some kind of magical micro-verse where an evil sorceress is holding them captive. She's subjugated Bob, the Monitor, to her will and is looking to use him to expand her realm to the rest of the Multi-verse. Mary Marvel is having a bit of a tussle with Zatanna. Mostly because Eclipso is trying to exert her influence over her. She's trying to push her anger, rage and confusion. " . . that's right, Mary . . . give in to the darkness . . " But Zatanna's had enough of it. She ejects her from Shadowcrest and banishes her from it forever. Superman has taken Jimmy Olsen to the JLA headquarters to test his theories about his powers. But, since they didn't use lethal force, they never really activated. All her really got out of the experience, besides hero worship, is a headache and banged up. Holly Robinson has learned that her "purification ritual" is actually a combat ceremony. Basically everyone gets in to battle gear, with weapons and everything, enters the arena a participates in a survival of the fittest contest. Not at all what Holly was expecting. Karate Kid and Una have found the mysterious Mister Orr. But from the reaction of his sentry, Equus, he doesn't want to be disturbed. But then for some reason, he comes out of his bunker, calls off the attack, and agrees to help him with his questions. Oh . . and then we see the origin of Parallax in the back of the book. Overall, another great issue. I can't wait to see . .when this all wraps up . . . the effects and changes this is all going to have on the DC Universe.
