changing my mind about Countdown

I was wrong. The comic Countdown is essentially unreadable.

I knew that it was vastly inferior to 52, but the idea of a weekly comic that tied together other titles was still very appealing. I still firmly believe that great things can come from entertainment deliberately designed to be ephemeral, disposable. It might very well turn out that new, fun ideas might come from trying to undo the crap being churned out in Countdown, and in reading the bad stuff, i'll understand how awful things became.

No. Poor characterization, an incoherent storyline, and very weak attempts make reading this a chore. And yep... i'll still be reading it.
