The event of the year is here! This brand-new, year-long weekly series features a cast of hundreds where anything goes! With head writer Paul Dini and a rotating team of some of the industry’s best writers and artists, COUNTDOWN will serve as the backbone of the DCU in 2007.

When a character dies in COUNTDOWN 51, it sets off an unexpected ripple that will touch virtually every character in the DC Universe.

The COUNTDOWN is on…so begins the end!

This project presumably is the centerp

The weekly madness continues.  Is this a good or a bad idea?  Personally, I would have liked a break of at least a few months.

With 52 at #1 virtually every week, I don’t think I’d take time off either, if I ran DC.  Do you think the story will be told in reverse chronological order, a la “Memento”?

You remember that episode on Seinfeld?  Every scene was shown in reverse order.

I think Morrison is up for the challenge.

I’m one of the people who never liked Seinfeld.  It was just me and some guy in Wyoming, I think.  Wyoming guy didn’t own a TV and just kept mailing his manifesto to newspapers, so he may not even count.

Grant Morrison has been breaking down the fourth wall a little bit too much lately for my liking, but I’m still intrigued by the idea of Countdown…

It’s been a while since I’ve read the whole thing but didn’t he do something similar in Invisibles V3?  I think the story of Edith is told in reverse chronological order.
