DC countdownis a follow up to Identity Crisis, and is due out march 30th, it is an 80 page special for only $1.00. Writers include geoff johns (teen titians), greg rucka (wonderwoman) and judd winick (batman) art is by rags morals (identity crisis) phil jimenez (wonderwoman) jim lee and alex ross do the cover. basically this is identity crisis part 2. more dc heros will die, and others will be changed. my guess is the blue beetle is the 1st to go.

yeah, blue beetle is gonna get torched. batman is going to use talia to bring him back to life because he is gonna feel bad about not listening to him. maybe they can make him a member of the bat squad. that would be pretty cool.

dc countdown ships march 30th, i read a few sample pages, and it looks like the blue beetle plays a big part. if you have read birds of prey, you know that ted kord (the blue beetle) has a heart condition. this would be a great way to bring this person back.

SPOILER ALERT: IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THIS BOOK AND PLAN TO, DO NOT READ THIS MESSAGE. well i picked it right, the blue beetle is dead and gone, i really like him, but it was a neat story, and will have major implications for years to come. the way this played out , with Max Lord as the villian, was cool. Max was a member of the JLA for many years. this sets up a lot of things, like the villians now know batman and supermans secret identities. wow a great read. I'm glad i bought all the 1980's JLA's last year.

ya...i figured max out about 3 or 4 pages before i got there. i just figured that had to be him. also...i dont think that the villians are gonna learn the secret identities...max had omac up and running to protect ordinary ppl...not whipe out supers. i think that batman may have had some kind of hand in all this, whether directly or indirecly i guess i cant say. i think that batman is gonna figure out wat is goin on, if he hasnt already all along, fix the problem w/ max (by beating the piss out of him) and then beat down the jla for messing w/ his mind. new society of super villians is super cool as well...hope deathstroke beats ollie down for stabbing him in the eye. should be good reading.

the other cool twist is sasha b from bruce wayne murderer story line works for checkmate, and batman thinks she is dead. (or is this one of his plans) makes you think huh?

im not so sure sasha is goning to play as big of a role as me and you originally thought. on dc's website they have a pretty good write up of all the characters that will be playing major roles in their books for the next year or so...and sasha's name isnt even on the list. whether that is by intention or design i do not know...i guess we will just have to wait and see.

i know sasha sends batman, beetles bloody mask and googles, thats how he knows he is dead. the new wizard has four pages from next months jla, and batman is not the only one who was mind wiped, they also did somthing to the martian manhunter. look for thing to heat up in a hurry.

ya if batman and the martain manhunter team up there is no stopping them. because im pretty sure that wally and maybe even green arrow will side w/ them as well. plus...all the outsiders, titans, etc. if it comes to blows...nobody is more connected then batman.

if you haven't read omac, rann thanagar war, villians unite or any of the other books, pick them up now, they will clear $20.00 each as soon as people figure out what is going on, most shops are selling out BEFORE THE BOOKS ARRIVE. we have people driving 150 miles to buy these books from us, and we limit them to one book each. Dc has anounced that they under printed them by about 600%. they will be like buying a $10.00 bill with a quarter. also the stories are going to be very inportant for years to come.
