Countdown to Final Crisis #9 - DC


Everything is hitting the fan now! Desaad is desperate for the Piper to play his flute. Through it he can access the anti-life equation. Then Desaad can control the Piper. We learn that everything that has led the Piper to this moment, has all been choreographed by Desaad. He's been controlling Piper's destiny for some time now. In an effort to get away from Desaad, he stumble across some OMAC's getting ready to dissect Karate Kid. We know that he carries the virus that could be the end of all mankind. But the twist is that the virus also stops the OMAC's from assimilating the human host. And it's the same virus which Ray Palmer naturally carries the immunity for in his system. Things are really starting to come together. Also we learn that Darkseid has some trick up his sleeve. It has something to do with a long gone experiment of Desaad's. Whatever it was never worked, but Darkseid feels he can use it to sidestep the coming catastrophe. He's even keeping it a secret from his chess partner, the Monitor, Solomon. At the end of this issue, Piper turns the tables on Desaad. He knows his own power better than anyone. He does indeed play a tune, but not the one Desaad is expecting. Instead the tune he plays, kills him. And then he goes to the power-core of this recently acclimated world of Brother-Eye's. There he plays a tune that basically puts the world in self-destruct mode. The problem our Challengers face is that their ticket through outer space, Kyle, is knocked out. Man . . this is a fantastic book. Like I said, all the pieces are coming together now, and things are going to be coming at us fast and furious. Are you ready? Lets get ready to . . . . .
