52 is done and out but the weeks continue to roll on like the living end. Now, after the build up of the year gone before, the next part of the DC swig. A countdown to another thing and the comics start from the end...
The event of the year is here! This brand-new, year-long weekly series features a cast of hundreds where anything goes! With head writer Paul Dini and a rotating team of some of the industry's best writers and artists, COUNTDOWN will serve as the backbone of the DCU in 2007.
When a character dies in COUNTDOWN 51, it sets off an unexpected ripple that will touch virtually every character in the DC Universe.
The COUNTDOWN is on... so begins the end!
