ok so let's bitch about Countdown. A comic that sucks. But luckily a comic that's almsot over. But it still sucks. This topic will contain spoilers, but since this comic has no plot, this shouldn't really matter (still it's in the title)
Last issue saw Superman Prime clawing at Monarch like a chimp. It was one of the manliest comics I have ever read since the early Image stuff by Leifield. Every muscle was taut, every blow took up a page, every scowl was so badly drawn that they looked like different characters. Every character died... to death! It was epic.

But countdown has been something of a meandering mess, and it is revealed that Darkseid is behind it all! I know, he's had some cool plans before, but this is just convulted beyond belief. Jason Todd has been an angry goat and has killed an alternate joker two panels after said joker killed alternate Batman. That's how random it is.
This is the past 40 issues of Countdown in brief:
The Mary Marvel story has been hysterical because nothing really happened. She flew around and thought Eclipso. That's it.
Jimmy Olsen's story is so beyond a joke its not funny.
Forerunner is blue.
The dimension hoppers were betrayed by Bob, who was betraying the monitors but then isn;'t and WHAT?
Also Captain Atom decided to become evil. and got blown nup.
Superman Prime shouted LOTS.

discuss. And when possible compare to the actually VERY FUCKING GOOD 52.

Hi Kaworu. I'm not really equipped to talk with you about comix but why do you read this if it's really bad (nearly to its end no less)

Also could you please tell me what Superman Prime is, thanks

as long as you haven't been buying it it's okay to read countdown since it takes like five minutes and includes lines like KILL YOU TO DEATH.

I only bought a few issues of Countdown and I regret every purchase.

I've... purchased every issue and because of who I am (a penis) I have to see it through to the end! Plus I am a story whore with DC and I like to know where things're going.
but not long to go now.
Mark, Superman Prime is Superman from an alt dimension, well Superboy just rapidly aged (I dunno have you read infinate crisis or something recent?). It's really gay, he started off as some crazy ass, then was kinda cool in Sinestero Corps war, but turned into whiney gayfag again now.. Like he spent an entire issue torturing Mxyzptlk. You just can't do that to Mxy!

Also I have been hearing that they may be doing ANOTHER weekly title after Countdown. This is where I will likely put my foot down, as I know my brother will likely buy it.

And as BAD as Countdown is, it's actually not the worst DC title around. There's CRIME BIBLE and INFINITY INC which are beyond worse, like they don't even atempt to try and look like they have something resembling a plot. Infinc is like WHOA NEW POWERS WHOA THERE IS TWO OF ME WHOA ONE OF THEM IS GAY WHOA I CAN CHANGE GENDER and is just fucking random, and Crime bible couldn't even manage that, like I have NO FUCKING CLUE what goes on in that series. Renee makes out with a chick, who has some conection to intergang who are using crime as a religion to... WHAT? At least 52 just brushed over that crime bible shit because it wasn't AS IMPORTANT as the characters it affected.

dammit kaworu they wouldn't keep making it if you didn't buy it why dont you know this.

also crime bible is okay and infinity inc kinda sucks yeah but neither one is a flagship title at all (crime bible being a spinoff of 52 I think!)

the best DC book is Booster Gold, quote this.
