Sometimes I really can't believe how good this book is. Especially coming out on a weekly title. And, admit it, even thought this title has changed from 52 to Countdown . . it's really the same book. Just a different focus. So they've really been doing this now for about 90 issues. That really is incredible, if you stop to think about it. Anyways, this whole thing about Earth 51 . . being the perfect Earth, and where Ray Palmer was working to stop the coming Crisis . . it's all moot now. Why? Because Superman-prime and Monarch have completely obliterated it. Well actually, not just the Earth, but the whole universe that it exists in. During their fight, Superman decided to rip Monarch's suit off, and the obliteration is a result of that action. But not to worry, none of our main characters perished. I'm sure Superman-prime and Monarch are floating around out there somewhere. And the Monitor of this Universe? Apparently she was the only one spared. Also our Challengers, Jason, Kyle, Donna and Ray, have all gone off the Apokolips. Solomon, the Monitor back at their base of operations, has beaten Forerunner. Didn't really think there was much of a chance there. And now Solomon and Darkseid seem to be in this chess match with the rest of the multi-verse as their playing board. We're down to the final 12. This is when things could get really hairy. We're already seeing preview of the new Final Crisis book by Grant Morrison and JG Jones. It's going to be a 7 issue series, like the first Identity Crisis book. It's listed for May. Start saving your pennies now.
