Four heroes travel to an alternative earth.

Split up and look around.

Meet a superhero who is different to how they are in DC continuity.

Heroes find symbol of Ray Palmer.

Four heroes travel to an alternative earth.


There's no progression, the story doesn't begin or end, and nothing of relevance happens.

Go and read Red Son or Gotham by Gaslight instead.

This was probably even more fun to write than to read, since the authors got to make up 6 different Earths. One where Superman is Russian, one where the genders of all the heroes are reversed, one where the good guys are bad guys etc...

It led to some cool situations, but they we're always just a step behind Ray Palmer. You have to wait for Countdown 18 to find out what happens.

The art in this series of one-shots was hit or miss, sometimes great, sometimes bad and sometimes just average.

Kind of awful. No wonder the lead-up to final crisis is so reviled at large. If countdown to final crisis is anything like this I'll probably stay far away. Yikes. How did they go from the really fun infinite crisis stuff and all the lead-ins to this?
