Summary: Why the hateful reviews?
Comment: I dont understand why there is so many bad reviews for this book. I loved the entire series. Great characters, great storyline, and amazing illustrations threw out the book. You should read the first, second, and third "Countdown to Final Crisis" before reading this. The main characters includes Jason Todd(former Robin), Donna Troy(Wonder girl), Jimmy Olsen(Supermans "Pal"), Karate Kid(superhero from 31st century), Holly Robinson(former Catwoman), Mary Marvel, Kyle Rayner(Green Lantern), Ray Palmer(Atom), and Harley Quinn. My personal favorite graphic novel series. It is a great follow up to the first, second, and third books. Recommend to anyone who likes DC comics, and wont take this book to seriously.

Summary: This Countdown was over before it even started
Comment: DC's second year-long weekly series comes to an end in this fourth collected volume of Countdown to Final Crisis, which takes the sheer boredom that populated most of the previous issues and doesn't do much to change the trend. Here, it becomes apparent that Paul Dini, the man behind the overall storyarcs of the series, had intended to interwine the fates of Jimmy Olsen, Karate Kid, the Challengers, Jason Todd, Mary Marvel, and all the other characters that no matter how hard you try, you just don't care about in the least. Not to mention that Countdown's depiction of Darkseid is just laughable compared to how we've seen him done in the past, and then seeing him face-off with Jimmy Olsen in Turtle Boy mode just has to be seen to be believed. There are some compelling moments to be found here though, with the Challengers and Mary Marvel's segments being just that, and amidst all the rushed looking artwork, Freddie Williams does a decent job and stands out on his own. However, as a whole, Countdown to Final Crisis is a massive disappointment, and in no way, shape, or form can hold a candle to 52. As said before, Countdown is only worth your time if you're a hardcore DC reader, but other than that, skip this and go straight into Grant Morrison's Final Crisis.
