Countdown presents : the Search for Ray Palmer - WildStorm #1 - DC


Well our band of misplaced travellers have jumped from the pages of Countdown, to their own unique mini-series. Ray Palmer has left the micro-verse, and has gone in to hiding in the multi-verse. So now our little group, which calls itself the Challengers from Beyond,
have gone to the WildStorm Earth as the first stop on their trip around the multi-verse. They come in to contact with Gen13, StormWatch, Grifter, WetWorks and the Authority. The last of which is the only one that I think didn't at least in some way try to help them. While they're there, Monarch, or Captain Atom, also finds Kyle. He pulls him in to the bleed so he can talk to him. He's trying to get him to join his army so he to can save the multi-verse. But that's what they're looking for the Atom for, so I think Kyle thinks he's already pretty much got that covered. Plus he's starting to think that this whole Monarch thing may have turned Atom in to a nutjob. Anyways, Majestic comes to our Challengers aide, when the Authority is trying to beat them up. He vouches for them and tells them that the Atom is no longer there. So now they're off to the next leg of the journey. Which will end them up on the world of the Crime Syndicate. I have to admit though, this is a cool way to introduce all these different worlds to the readers that don't know about them. And hopefully we'll get to find out where all our heroes are gonna end up. Which I think, really, is the whole master plan behind this whole thing. So lets get the foot-race started.
