AHAHAHAHAH it's like they're admitting they have no idea what the hell this is or why anyone should care.

 

[CaptainCanada]

Countdown continues to be a colossal mess, quite frankly; you should be able to tell a complete story in 52 damn issues, and not require an orgy of spinoffs and one-shots (I'll be fascinated to see what they do with this series in trade, and in regards to series that have major plot points tied to Countdown).

Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps look very good, though. I can't wait for the conclusion to the Sinestro Corps story.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

So... Donna Troy, Kyle Rayner, Jason Hood, "Bob," and possibly Ryan Choi are now the Challengers of the Beyond? Like, an official team?

 

[Darthphere]

I'm disgusted right now. I mean, DC, what's wrong with you?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

 

[Manic]

Can someone explain to me why there are two spin-offs from Countdown about the Search for Ray Palmer? And for that matter, why the entire story isn't confined to the pages of Countdown? Also, why Countdown sucks?

 

[Delete]

They sure are knocking that Ras story arc out as fast as they can.

 

[3dman27]

are the challengers of the beyond the modern day verion od challengers of the UNKNOWN?

 

[Kebab gud]

So... Donna Troy, Kyle Rayner, Jason Hood, "Bob," and possibly Ryan Choi are now the Challengers of the Beyond? Like, an official team?

they have been that ever since they started looking for Ray

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I thought they were just a bunch of people whom "Bob" roped into finding Ray Palmer. I didn't know they'd chosen a team name and stuff.

 

[TheDarkKnight_NL]

The "Resurrection of Ra’s al Ghul" sound like its going to be great, I'm probably going to add Robin & Nightwing to my subscription list for 2 months for this

 

[Darthphere]

All these mother****ing solicitations on this mother****ing internet sound like ass.

 

[Fledermaus]

I thought you were Mexican, and here to find out you're Sam Jackson.

 

[Darthphere]

I've been watching a lot of Katt Williams stand up lately.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Can someone explain to me why there are two spin-offs from Countdown about the Search for Ray Palmer? And for that matter, why the entire story isn't confined to the pages of Countdown? Also, why Countdown sucks?

They aren't two spin-offs. It's all a series of one shots about the Search for Ray Palmer. Just like Outsiders: Five of a Kind.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

Dc can go **** themselves.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Have they pulled their lips too far out of Hal's ass for you or something?

 

[Darthphere]

Have they pulled their lips too far out of Hal's ass for you or something?

It's a cycle. GAH started off as a Marvel zombie, then he became a DC Zombie and hated everything Marvel, now he's been posting sporadically in the Marvel forums, as a return is imminent.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Ooh, exciting. He'll have a whole new universe of great characters to hate and crappy comics to love.

 

[Manic]

They aren't two spin-offs. It's all a series of one shots about the Search for Ray Palmer. Just like Outsiders: Five of a Kind.

What the f*** is wrong with DC?! That kind of bull is exactly why I couldn't follow those Helmet of Fate one-shots.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Because they were one-shots rather than a mini-series?

 

[Prognosticator]
