Countdown to Adventure #7 - DC


This book has proved to be very interesting. The only downfall? There's only 1 issue left. That stinks. Hopefully though, we'll see this concept carried on in some other book. There's going to be a Rann/Thanagar War book coming out in a couple of months. A mini-series. I'm sure we'll see Adam Strange there, but I don't really know about any of our other characters. We also might see Forerunner there. If for no other reason than that Golden Eagle is Thanagarian, and he's currently Forefunner's . . . concubine. In the Forerunner story, they're at the Source wall and they find a space-shuttle . . . one of NASA's . . . floating adrift. They bring it aboard and find someone cryogenically frozen inside. However, this issue, we don't find out who that is yet. Also, somehow, when they were near the wall, the Source drained most of the energy from their core reactors. So now, they're adrift in space also. This story is brought to us by Justin Gray and Fabrizio Fiorentino. Meanwhile, on Rann, Buddy, Ellen and Starfire have arrived from Earth. Their plan is to use Rann's triple sun to reboot the Princess' powers. They found that blasts of solar radiation can counter-effect Lady Styx's virus. They accomplish that, and Starfire sends out a burst that cure's the Rannians, but not before Hazard, the guy that replaced Adam, heads back to Earth. He also throws a wrench in the Zeta-beam so the others can't follow him. But, with everyone cured, that means that Sardath is of sound mind again, and since he's the one that created the Zeta-beam . . I'm sure he can fix it. Also, don't forget, during the course of all this, Adam had to destroy the whole Rannian fleet so that Hazard wouldn't lead them in an attack against the Thanagarians. But doesn't that leave them open to an attack themselves? I guess we'll have to wait and see how this affects the mini-series this summer. Now all they have to do is head back to Earth and cure the people of San-Diego there. However, the transmissions they receive show the city to be in pretty bad shape. The virus is out of control, and the Healers have begun sterilization. This story is brought to us by Adam Beechen and Allan Goldman. It's definitely an exciting and action-packed story-arc. With only one issue left, they're going to have to accomplish an awful lot next issue. I'm sure they will . . I'm just wondering how it's all going to affect the future. This was a fabulous mini-series.
