Countdown to Final Crisis #3 - DC


Well, it turns out that our team actually is back on Earth . . the right Earth . . and they've made contact with the Justice League, to ask for their help. Meanwhile, Mary has taken Jimmy to Darkseid. He's decided that he's wants all those powers back that he's been storing inside of him. "Brace yourself Red. This is the part where Darkseid tears open your ribcage and beats the living hell outta your vital organs." But, as if right on cue, Superman shows up to help his buddy out. He and Darkseid just start going at it. Shortly after, the rest of the heroes, as well as Forager, show up to try to help with Mary. Darkseid, however has a contingency plan set up. He's got some kind of Apokalyptic device inside of Jimmy that let's him control his powers. He can turn them on or off. Now he's turned them on and has his whole body acting like a Kryptonite reactor. However, remember when Ray disappeared last issue? Well, it turns out he's been hiding out in Jimmy's bloodstream. He finds the devices and then does the best he can to short circuit them. It seems like it's just in time. Mary has just gotten done giving a beat down to all the heroes, and Superman lies unconscious at Darkseid's feet. But with the control shut off, now Jimmy can control the powers and he looks like a giant when he starts to attack Darkseid. Can you believe there's only 3 issues to go. I'm counting the #0 issue also. This issue was deftly drawn by Freddie Williams II. He did a fantastic job. It's really going to be a nail-biter right to the very end. What a series!
