Countdown to Final Crisis #10 - DC


This was a busy issue. Like the last, the whole thing takes place on Apokolips. We start out with Mary, Harley and Holly, fighting to get away from Granny and the Furies. But as they're getting away, Mary gets an epiphany that she knows where they're holding the Greek Gods. Her previous connections to them are helping to guide her. They have to go through a couple of obstacles but she uses the lightning the overcome the final one. The lightning shows the Challengers where they're at, but it also reveals the pantheon. They give Mary her powers back as gratitude. But they also grant Holly and Harley some powers too. "Harley Quinn, I grant you a small portion of the cunning of Thalia, muse of comedy! And I, Diana, grant Holly Robinson a portion of my skill and strength as a hunts-woman!" After that, they get back in to the fray, but somebody else comes along and takes out Granny. Meanwhile, Karate Kid is fighting an OMAC that used to be Una. It tries to assimilate him, but I think because of his virus though, he's immune to the process. The OMAC can't assimilate him. He crosses paths with Red Robin, Jason, but when he won't let him kill the OMAC, because of Una being inside it, he decides the Kid's to much trouble and takes off. The rest of our Challengers, Kyle, Donna and Ray, catch up to our trio of Greek powered misfits. Dessad, for some reason, has picked up the Piper. He wants him to play his pipe. He claims he can access the anti-life equation through his music. That's the first I've heard of that. Anyways, before anything else can happen there's an upheaval on the planet. Don't forget that when Karate Kid landed, he was brought her by Brother Eye. Well, it looks like Brother Eye has finished his mission. He's absorbed and transformed the entire planet of Apokolips to be his vessel. "Can you hear me, father Bruce. Eye am no longer a child. Eye have surpassed you, father. Eye have become a world unto myself!!" That . . can't be a good thing. Like I said, we're down to the final 10 . . there's gonna' be a Zero issue . . . so everything's going to be coming fast and furious at us from now on. Hang on kiddies! The rides about to get bumpy!
