IT IS DONE!

51 comics in the main series and then the tie-ins.

Countdown to Mystery - 8 comics
Countdown to Adventure - 8 comics
Lord Havok and the Extremists - 6 comics
Metal Men - 8 comics
Countdown Arena - 4 comics
52 Aftermath - World War 3 - 6 comics
Countdown: The Search for Ray Palmer - 4 comics

95 Comics later. Overall it wasn't amazing, but it was interesting getting to know a bunch of DC characters I had never been introduced to. Lots of great art (especially the Metal Men), but also a, literally, New deus ex machina ending. Fortunately things never end in comic land and this was "just" the countdown, the "real" crisis is here, just not sure what it is.

This thing slowed down, and everything made less sense as it went along. Still a wild time, but not nearly the ending I thought that would lead into Final Crisis. Kind of meh.
