6 – DC
5- Marvel
1 – Avatar Press
1 – Red 5 Comics
1 – Dark Horse
1 – Hero History, which really isn’t a review…
hardly 5:1 ratio

And even if there were a more unfair ratio, does that mean that we favor DC over Marvel? Nope. Means that Marvel shipped diddly-squat two weeks ago, and that this week wasn’t Marvel-heavy, either. Right now I have 5 Marvels and 3 DC’s in my “to do” list. I’d promise balance, but they don’t SHIP the books in balance, so I just try to do something interesting every day.

Sometimes is Marvel, sometimes it's DC, sometimes it is even someone else all together. mosdef: LOL – that’s funny – I just got an email the other day asking why we reviewed more marvel than DC comics… :P

While I am continuing to love the characters in the DCU, I am not happy with the whole idea of Countdown nor the direction that the whole DCU has taken. I think I may have to stick to back issues until the Final Crisis. So I take it that the cover blurb saying Captain Carrot and the Final Ark #1 was a tie-in to this Countdown issue was complete B.S.

Lord Havok is Doctor Doom, roughly, and Tracer (the one with the feathers and the super senses) is roughly Sabretooth. Doctor Diehard is Magneto, Dream Slayer is Dormmamu, and Gorgon is Doctor Octopus. The Extremists were designed to be analogous to Marvel’s biggest heroes.

The moral of the story is - don't get too attached to anyone in this series unless they are featured in other comics. In Infinite Crisis characters like Kole got a single panel meaningless death. In WWIII Terra got a hole punched in her. I think the odds are good that a lot of incidental characters will be biting the big one. The only issue I take with this is that we'll probably have a 52 v.2 and a Countdown v.2 about 5-6 years from now.
