Here on in, I am just going to be doing a weekly post on this Week’s Countdown… Dan Dido keeps suggesting this is the backbone of the DC Universe, so you can get your spinal tap here :)

This week…

  • Still tying in with Amazons Attack!

  • Jason Todd and Donna Troy go head to head with Forerunner

  • Jotham swore he saw somewhere that Forerunner had the same energy signature as Waverider from the Armageddon 2001 storyline (1991)

  • Not surprising because Monarch shows up at the end to save a depressed Forerunner (Monarch was the big baddie from Armageddon 2001)

  • Jimmy Olsen gives a back story for the New Gods, to catch some readers up

Overall, a filler week, just like issue #46. The only thing that really stood out as a “Wow” was DC re-using Monarch. It seems that when they opened the door to their multi-verse again, they are planning on using all of it :)
