Countdown to Adventure #3 - DC


I guess this must be Countdown week. Including that title, and the one's related to it, there's about 5 different things out this week. I like this mini-series so far though. Basically, we're following the lives of the space-travelers from 52, after they've returned to Earth. There seems to be a virus, or something, that's starting to sweep over Buddy's community. People are going in to these blind rages, where they're ready to kill or maim anything they can get their hands on. Including friends and loved ones. But, it's also happening on Rann. From reading the stories, I'm guessing that somehow it's connected to Buddy. The movie set that he's working on, has been recently shut down, because the star of the movie has disappeared. But, where no one has made the connection yet, the star, Hazard, has actually gone to Rann. Sardath decided that he wanted to give Adam some time off. He wanted to give him some time with his family. But, I think, before he left Earth, Buddy infected Hazard. Now Hazard, who has been running rampant all over Rann trying to prove himself, is infecting that planet. It only seems to affect 1 out of every 3 people. But still, that's an awful lot of raving lunatics to have running around. But they're starting to suspect that it has something to do with Lady Styx, because they keep saying, "Believe in her." At the end of this issue, and alien space craft shows up and it appears as if they're looking for a way to cure the virus. The good news is, they've put up a force-field to contain the outbreak. It won't spread any farther than San Diego. The bad news is . . . they put up a force-field to contain the outbreak. That means that Kory and Buddy are locking in with thousands of raving lunatics, and they won't be able to get any help from an outside source. The backup story continues the origin of Forerunner. With everything she, and her race, have gone through, you almost feel sorry for her. She's landed on Earth 33, in her quest to search for warriors for Monarch. It's a world much like ours, but ruled by Magiks and Sorcery. They have all our heroes, but they're all magic based. And, since they know of the Forerunner tradition, they immediately attack and contain her. But, come to find out, they are being led by an Oracle. An Oracle that turns out to be in disguise, because she's actually Dark Angel, Forerunner's sworn enemy.
