Countdown: New Weekly Series

TheCorpulent1 said:
Is it good enough to warrant buying the last ten issues? I've been wondering if I should get back into Countdown for the final ten, just so I know what the hell is going on in the DC universe.

If you're at all physically capable of reading it in the store, I beseech you to do that instead.

Otherwise, it's certainly not as torturous as it would have been during the "rock bottom" periods of this series, around issues 35-24. But, like I said, just because it's gotten better doesn't make it good.
 
"I'll kill you to death."

Funniest line ever.

Reading in the shop makes me feel guilty, like I'm stealing. I'll probably just punch a kid in the face and take his.
 
The only times I'd consider it justifiable to read in the shop would be, like, OMD.

Also, bwilly, are your reading it? Back when I HATED gail simone, I read her garbage before i talked ****.
 
Of course I'm reading it. I've read every single issue. I read everything I talk about.

I don't understand why people have this ridiculous aversion to reading in the shops. If that's all you're doing, of course that's rude, but I have yet to find a single comicbook store that had a thing to say about me reading in the shop so long as I buy my share of books at the end of the day anyway. I will never understand this mentality of buying books without knowing if I would like it or not...or, hell, buying books that I outright don't even like. You're paying for things that you don't even want when you don't even have to. It's like you're punching yourself in the balls over and over again.
 
The comic industry is so tiny at this point that my philosophy on comics is basically, "If I read it, I need to buy it." I can't justify buying Countdown, so I don't read it.

Plus, some people's shops are Nazi-like about reading without buying. Not mine, but I've heard stories.
 
Shook your head in sadness over the atrocities they committed, since they were mostly dead already?

Nerds often get precious about the condition of their books. One smudge, one crease and especially sticky fingerprints from small children will be enough to put these people off buying a copy of a book. If every copy in a shop is ****ed, they'll go somewhere else.

Not only that, but if 30 people all read the same copy then it'll be knackered by the time they're all done.

nerds like yourself are really picky about **** aren't ya?
 
I get depressed every time i smudge an issue, or a staple comes out, or if i crease it.
 
Jason Todd might have just become my favourite character in the DC(M)U after what he did in 12...

In fairness to the pocketholders, as long as your issues are not totally ****ed up (ripped pages, or torn edges or crumpled paper) its ok. You'd like to sell them off eventually.
 
I'm loving Red Robin. One of the best costume designs ever, IMO. Glad I stuck with Countdown. I think DC learned a lot from the piss poor quality of the first half of the series.
 
Well, Joker was making fun of the recently deceased Batman of Earth 52. So, Todd went and smashed his head in with a rock. It was kind of a cool scene.
 
I haven't read 12 and 13 yet but poor Earth-52 Batman. :(

He was awesome.
