Thursday Reflections — Countdown

April 24 2008

Quick pretext, I’m trying out these “Thursday Reflections” as little posts on comics I’ve read on new comics day (thursday being new comics day in the UK) and my reaction to them.

Did anyone else feel like Countdown was basically a year long exercise in having sweet f.a happen for 52 issues and seeing if people would buy it? I mean, what happened? Mary Marvel went bad, had a whole redemption arc, then the writers didn’t know what to do with that, so she’s bad again. Some shit happened on the 52 earths and New Gods died, in the Death of The New Gods book. Feh.

While Trinity looks ok, I can’t be arsed with another of these weekly (weakly) books, 52 was great, countdown was like Lou Bega’s “I got a girl”.
