Countdown to Final Crisis #4 - DC


Well after last issue, where they single-handedly destroy the Earth that Solomon had sent them to . . they get a bit of a respite this issue. But . . not much. As you can see from the cover, Mary is trying to come to terms with herself. Does she like her wholesome image . . or, does she enjoy the power? She sways towards the power this issue, but I don't think she's fully committed yet. I believe she can come back. Anyways, when the world was almost done last issue, Jimmy boom-tubed everyone back to what hopefully is their real Earth. For all intents and purposes it appears to be, but we don't really get anything solid to confirm that with this issue. Never-the-less, everybody splits up because they just want to go home. However, that's when Mary runs in to a bit of trouble, because at her home . . she finds Darkseid waiting for her. And he has in his hands, literally, the power that she left behind back on Apokolips. He's willing to give it to her and all he wants in return is . . . Jimmy Olsen. It appears that Karate Kid or Una didn't make the trip with them this time, so Ray Palmer seems to be a little lost. What's his purpose now if not to stop the Great Disaster. It's almost anti-climatic for him. But the rest of the team? They have a new mission because Mary does indeed come back and swoops up Jimmy. So now . . they're going to have to find him. A fantastic issue, with only 4 to go. With everything that I read that's planned . . I think it's going to be a busy summer in the DC Universe.
