Now that I'm one of precisely two people in my acquaintance who's actually reading Countdown, I figure that puts me in optimal Mocking position.I actually spent some time at my job tonight thinking about precisely how I should go about it. What would show my disdain for Countdown, while illustrating just how shallow and empty each issue is.
It occurred to me, that using l33tspeak was almost made for the task. It's shallow and laughable, much like this series. So as the first in what may return as a weekly post, I give you...

Captain Marvel & Mary Marvel

Sadly... that's the essence of Countdown #44. Each grouping of pages could actually be summed up by two... well, I hesitate to actually call them phrases... how about strings of l33tspeak. I've just saved you $2.99, gentle reader. Let me know what you thought. It could just be that mine was the only diseased mind to find this amusing. But if anybody enjoyed it, I might have a reason to keep throwing money at DC. Who knows?

That's funny stuff, JW.
Sorry I missed you last night.
I got in kind of late and went straigt to bed with a caffiene withdrawal headache.
No sweat. But should you hear the sounds of thousands of heads exploding, you should deduce that those people read the Sinestro Corps Special. I'll get you more details shortly.
