Title: After Countdown: The Next Big Event Post by: Michel Weisnor on May 23, 2007, 01:38:58 PM http://comicbookresources.com/columns/index.cgi?column=litg&article=2786
FINAL COUNTDOWN So what is "Countdown" counting down to anyway? The name I'm given is "Final Crisis." Is anyone surprised? 2008, seventy years of Superman celebrated with the last Crisis. Title: Re: After Countdown: The Next Big Event Post by: Super Monkey on May 23, 2007, 02:15:27 PM and after that: "Aftermath of Final Crisis" 52 issues weekly series which leads into "Final, Final Crisis" which is really the final crisis until the next one. ;)

Y'know what happened to that kid, right? He got ''et'. ;D Title: Re: After Countdown: The Next Big Event Post by: llozymandias on May 23, 2007, 07:53:59 PM and after that: "Aftermath of Final Crisis" 52 issues weekly series which leads into "Final, Final Crisis" which is really the final crisis until the next one. ;) http://comicbookresources.com/columns/index.cgi?column=litg&article=2786 FINAL COUNTDOWN So what is "Countdown" counting down to anyway? The name I'm given is "Final Crisis." Is anyone surprised? 2008, seventy years of Superman celebrated with the last Crisis. This is what i have been thinking. Here is hoping that when it's over DC has an infinite multiverse again. Or better yet a DC Megaverse. A megaverse being a collection of a nigh-infinite number of multiverses. Basically hypertime, if it were done right. Sure is sounding like the kid that cried Crisis - instead of wolf. Y'know what happened to that kid, right? He got ''et'. ;D [/quote) Or maybe DC is learning from its mistakes. Didn't DC tend to claim that every major reboot/retcon/crisis would be the last? That once they redefined their universe (& its continuity) that they would stick to it? Readers have very little reason to be loyal if the continuities they follow continue to be constantly discarded.

Though I like the idea of 2 TITANS books & that Cable sketch was pretty sweet. Real Liefeldish..

Title: Re: After Countdown: The Next Big Event Post by: Permanus on May 26, 2007, 03:16:28 PM Seriously though (if it's at all possible to take this sort of thing seriously), it's pretty shameless the way DC is capitalising on this with this frankly silly number of related titles.
Clearly DC with its Crisis stuff and Marvel with all its Civil War spin-offs are in hard competition, but have they already forgotten how they glutted the comics market with alternate covers to redundant first issues of Spider-titles and such back in the mid-90s and how they subsequently suffered for it and lost a lot of readers? They're making a fast buck now, but they can't string it out for three years, if that's their plan. Title: After Countdown: Busiek to Pen Final Crisis?

"THE FINAL COUNTDOWN. DEE DEE DEEE DEEE… I understand that Kurt Busiek will be writing the "Final Crisis" series that will follow on from the current "Countdown" series. And remember, Busiek always wins! I may understand wrong of course. But that's what I'm told and I'm sticking with it. Until I'm proven wrong. Why can't you have your cake and eat it?" So far, three names have been attached to this project: Judd Winick, Grant Morrison, and now Kurt Busiek. It will be interesting how this plays out. Still, why do I see Geoff Johns finishing what he started? |
