Countdown - Arena #3 - DC


This issue our heroes . . from various worlds . . make a little more headway against Monarch. The creative team is the same . . Keith Champagne and Scott McDaniel . . and we still have the beautiful covers by Andy Kubert. One of the Batman's that was killed was bitten by the Red Rain Batman. So he turned in to a Vampire also. Now he's using those new abilities, to try to get some intel from around the ship. The holster that one of the Beetle's built was made to travel between dimensions. Monarch came in shortly after they found it, and destroyed the power source. So, with all these other Firestorms and Captain Atom's running about, you'd think that one of them would've thought up the solution before it had to be handed to them by Batman. He's given it to Breach, a Captain Atom alternative, and sent him out to find as many versions of himself as he can. He wants him to bring them all back to the ship. His other part of the plan is to get someone to the lower decks that can get the fallen heroes out of stasis. He wants to put them back in to action. The only way they're going to beat Monarch is with sheer numbers. And now that they have the transportation device, they just might be able to pull that off. This issue we see fights between the Starmen, the Flashes and the Wonder Women. Next issue is the ultimate fight . . . Superman vs. Superman vs. Superman. Also don't forget, Forerunner is out there running loose in the multi-verse somewhere. And she's not Monarch's biggest fan anymore.
