About the author
Paul Dini
729 books724 followersPaul Dini is an American television producer of animated cartoons. He is best known as a producer and writer for several Warner Bros./DC Comics series, including Star Wars: Ewoks, Tiny Toon Adventures, Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, The New Batman/Superman Adventures, Batman Beyond and Duck Dodgers. He also developed and scripted Krypto the Superdog and contributed scripts to Animaniacs (he created Minerva Mink), Freakazoid, Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. After leaving Warner Bros. In early 2004, Dini went on to write and story edit the popular ABC adventure series Lost.
Paul Dini was born in New York City. He attended the Stevenson School in Pebble Beach, California on an art scholarship. He attended Emerson College in Boston, where he earned a BFA degree in creative writing. (He also took zoology classes at Harvard University.)
During college, he began doing freelance animation scripts for Filmation, and a number of other studios. In 1984, he was hired to work for George Lucas on several of his animation projects.
The episodes of the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon that were written by Dini have become favorites amongst the show's fans over the internet, although despite this as well as contributing to interviews on the released box sets of the series, Dini has made no secret of his distaste for Filmation and the He-Man concept. He also wrote an episode of the Generation One Transformers cartoon series and contributed to various episodes of the Ewoks animated series, several of which included rare appearances from the Empire.
In 1989, he was hired at Warner Bros. Animation to work on Tiny Toon Adventures. Later, he moved onto Batman: The Animated Series, where he worked as a writer, producer and editor, later working on Batman Beyond. He continued working with WB animation, working on a number of internal projects, including Krypto the Superdog and Duck Dodgers, until 2004.
He has earned five Emmy awards for his animation work. In a related effort, Dini was also the co-author (with Chip Kidd) of Batman Animated, a 1998 non-fiction coffee table book about the animated Batman franchise.
Dini has also written several comics stories for DC Comics, including an acclaimed oversized graphic novel series illustrated by painter Alex Ross. (A hardcover collection of the Dini and Ross stories was published in late summer 2005 under the title The World's Greatest Superheroes.) Other books written by Dini for DC have featured his Batman Animated creation Harley Quinn as well as classic characters Superman, Batman, Captain Marvel and Zatanna.
Best known among Dini's original creations is Jingle Belle, the rebellious teen-age daughter of Santa Claus. Dini also created Sheriff Ida Red, the super-powered cowgirl star of a series of books set in Dini's mythical town of Mutant, Texas. Perhaps his greatest character contribution is the introduction of Harley Quinn (along with designs by Bruce Timm) on Batman: The Animated Series.
In 2001 Dini made a cameo appearance in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back during the scene in which Jay and Silent Bob wear ridiculous looking costumes for a film being directed by Chris Rock, in which Dini says to them "you guys look pretty bad ass".
In 2006, Dini became the writer for DC Comics' Detective Comics. That same year, he announced that he was writing a hardcover graphic novel starring Zatanna and Black Canary. In 2007, he was announced as the head writer of that company's weekly series, Countdown. Paul Dini is currently co-writing the script for the upcoming Gatchaman movie. Dini is also currently writing a series for Top Cow Productions, based in a character he created, Madame Mirage.
Paul Dini is an active cryptozoologist, hunter and wildlife photographer. On a 1985 trip to Tasmania, he had a possible sighting of a Thylacine. He has also encountered a number of venomous snakes, a Komodo Dragon and a charging Sumatran Rhi

2.5 stars.
The only thing I cared about was the issues #16-13 focused on Jason and Bruce from Earth-51. Jason, who felt betrayed after his death wasn’t avenged, meeting a version of Bruce who did kill the Joker and many other villains. Very interesting to see how killing people changed Batman, rendering him a shell of himself, and Jason realising that. The ending for this little storyline was heartbreaking.
I hated the rest of the comic tho, so boring! Too many characters and too many things happening at once.

This volume was actually a little bit better. I found something to get emotionally invested in (Ray's new world). I think that things are starting to come together, but I don't know if that will make me care any more about the vast majority of these characters.

The first two volumes of this countdown were a mess but fun (I gave them 3 stars). This one, despite the negative reviews, starts to put its ducks in a row. Most the characters start having tie ins with the fourth world and multiverse monitors (threats in Final Crisis) and there's a mid countdown finale of sorts with superboy and monarch war on earth 51.
This volume was really good and at this juncture I don't understand the negativity. First two volumes? Sure. For me they were a guilty pleasure. Here? It's good.
The only strand that I wonder what the point is would be Jimmy Olsens storyline. There's still time in the next volume for this to make sense (though he is on apocalypse now)
The only thing people should know going into this is that these multiverse and Crisis events require continuity foreknowledge or at least willingness to just go with what you don't know. These events aren't for beginners.

This third volume is where things really heat up...!
Rereading Countdown, finally, I find it far easier to appreciate. As I’ve indicated with the previous volumes, I was, and remain, a big fan of its predecessor, 52, a comic I’d still like acknowledged as one of the great superhero comics. I still don’t think Countdown is at the same level, but...it never had to be.
The closest these pages get to regular continuity is a sequence of events involving Firestorm, eventually featuring the artist, Jamal Igle, who was drawing his regular series at the time, which I was reading and quite enjoying (so it’s nice to see some small part of it imbedded elsewhere). Otherwise things have pretty deliberately begun spinning off from the events of Countdown itself.
This volume reaches some big moments. Trickster is finally murdered. Piper’s story, in the volume, ends after he realizes he has to leave the body behind. Karate Kid, whom I remember having such a hard time remembering for what his role in Countdown ultimately accomplished, has his smallest role in these three volumes. But the Challengers (now I wish they had gotten to be a team, with their own ongoing, under that name, at least for a while!) reach a culmination point or two when they at last discover where Ray Palmer was hiding...which leads to the epic last stand on Earth 51, which leads to the battle between Monarch and...Superboy-Prime?!?
Of course, in Countdown he’s calling himself Superman-Prime. And his role is the same as so many others in the series, DC finally reconciling a number of things it had done since Crisis On Infinite Earths. Monarch is one of them, of course. Famously, DC changed its original plans for the villain before his debut finished playing out in Armageddon 2001, which it had attempted to course-correct before (in the little-seen pages of Extreme Justice). In Zero Hour, DC’s unofficial second Crisis, he was reworked as Extant, but ended up playing a disappointing second-fiddle to Parallax. Countdown effectively puts him back in his intended position.
Superboy-Prime is a similar case. He was the big foil of Infinite Crisis, but ended up playing second-fiddle in “Sinestro Corps War,” robbed of his singular agency. In the pages of Countdown his mad quest for “perfection” ironically ends on a perfect world...Monarch’s army has just destroyed. It’s a fitting exclamation point for them both (although I need to reread the issues in the fourth volume to be reminded if this was indeed where their tales end here).
In a lot of ways, Countdown is its own Crisis, and it’s an attempt to complete a narrative begun at least as far back as Identity Crisis, which proved controversial in a way Alan Moore’s Batman: The Killing Joke never did. Where Moore crippled Batgirl, fans seemed more scandalized by what Brad Meltzer did. It reverberated in ways DC might never have intended, bringing back memories of “original sins” like the death of Jason Todd, who was finally revived soon after, but then stuck in a holding pattern because the company no longer seemed as assured of its possibilities as it once had. After all, Batgirl, crippled, segued to life as Oracle. And if anything, she thrived in that role as she never had as Batgirl.
We find Ray Palmer living a perfect life. His evil ex, Jean Loring, gets her comeuppance at last at the hands of Mary Marvel (though again, there’s a whole final volume to account for). DC is correcting itself before the Crisis. Which, again, is to say that perhaps Countdown was the Crisis after all.
The countdown was merely the beginning of the end...

I read this as a follow on to the Search for Ray Palmer that I came to from The All New Atom; in this respect I really enjoyed the conclusion to this arc; the explanation was well founded and the arc was well written.
Other sections of the book read in isolation still worked, but some more than others. This volume seems to deal a lot with Earth 51 and this was all good, a very interesting slant on some of the big characters.
I wasn't as big a fan of the Jimmy Olsen section; especially as there was a humanoid bug lady with ridiculous fan service moments including her coming out of the shower. I would have expected a bug lady to be more bug-like, but this character is just a pink curvaceous female with antennae. Since she is actually an insect surely there shouldn't be any breasts. The Mary Marvel Vs Eclipso section is better but still has up-skirt fan-service splash pages, but these are a smaller part of this overall section, so not quite as offensive/guilt inducing.
As I was coming to the Pied Piper and Trickster section with out any prior knowledge, the homophobic mudslinging was a shock to read, I didn't even know whether the Pied Piper was gay at first; however when read in full throughout this volume the story was balanced and had an interesting and heartfelt resolution.
I don't really know about Karate Kid and wasn't sure how Harley Quinn had ended up where she was, but these 2 sections were also sensible enough to read in amongst the rest of the threads. I am actually interested in reading the other 3 volumes now.

The beauty of a huge undertaking like this is all the disconnected stories coming together in harmony in ways the readers don't expect. This has been the complete opposite of that. Some stories connect but in obvious ways. Some stories are nearly abandoned. Most of these stories lack any kind of drama. The more the Monitors talk the more I fall asleep. Added to that is the lame inclusion of Monarch as an overarching super-bad. There is some good (SuperMAN Prime, Piper Jason, and Mary Marvel). Other than that, this is pretty bad. Even in a weekly format, this book seems incredibly rushed. Its dense and only going to be enjoyed by such a small amount of people I can't understand why DC did it. Overall, nearly possible to like.

The cow patties are beginning to hit the fan as we get closer to a resolution or I guess more craziness, since this is the "countdown" to something even bigger. Even though I'm reading all the "countdown" spinoffs (I think there are 5 of them), I still feel like I'm missing some details, and I think it's because I'm not reading any of the other major titles that were still going at the time, like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash etc... Seems like you'd have to be retired and rich to get the full story. :)

We get two major revelations this volume: the identity of Monarch and the reason the Monitors are obsessed with Ray Palmer.
The former is tossed off with absolutely no fanfare and hasn’t been brought up since; the latter is ridiculous and points pretty clearly to the fact that no one knew the end of the mystery when it was introduced.
And yet I keep reading...

O něco slabší než druhý volume. Tady už to všechno bouchá a mlátí se to mezi sebou ale pořád to má svoje momenty a celkem obstojně napsaný postavy.

Pretty enjoyable than the previous volume.

Ok so this is where shit starts to get a bit confusing. I was on board for the first 2 volumes of this series. And I still enjoyed this, but this is where the holes start forming.
We get a lot of stories opening up here, and some revelations as well. But what we also get is more characters to follow, which as you can imagine gets harder to keep track of. Superboy Prime is back, although I'm not sure how he got to be here after Infinite Crisis. And he's as stupidly immature as ever here, which is saying a lot cause he was such a dumb ass in Crisis. He's suppose to be 19 but he acts like a freakin 4 year old having a temper tantrum. We get to see some of the stories cross paths here and bring in some scope on the big picture of events.
It seemed that some stories were taking big jumps when they didn't have page time. Jumps that seemed really confusing and put together really quickly. It wasn't enough to ruin it for me, but enough to bug me.
I can't find the next volume anywhere for a price that isn't god damned ridiculous so I guess I'll move onto Final Crisis and pick it up one day when I can find a copy.
Overall it's not an exceptional series, but I enjoyed it anyway.

Many of the many, many story lines are starting to wrap up, or at least make a little sense, and this book is shifting from an incomprehensible mess into a mindless page turner. As the book wears on, some characters seem to be getting longer stretches starring in the book before vanishing for a while, and that extended exposure makes for more understandable action. There's a big, vague war towards the end of the book that seemingly ignores tactics and pathos, but it's interesting to see how the likes of Donna Troy and Jason Todd react to them.
Among the other characters: Superman Prime is getting to be insufferable. Jimmy Olsen's really not making much sense. The reveal on Ray Palmer is engaging and a bit heart-breaking. Darkseid and Apokolis are hovering over the countdown in ominous yet bland fashion. Mary Marvel and Karate Kid prove that alliteration doesn't make you interesting.

The Countdown is definitely nearing the end game. With Superman Prime rampaging through the multi-verse, torturing Myxlpltk, and the war against the Monitors begins to heat up. The Challengers find Ray Palmer, and many of these story lines are starting to edge toward a conclusion (since several of them are now beginning to be stitched back together).
I found this intriguing to catch glimpses of what the heroes “could have been” in parallel universes, as well as curious how these characters will change as a result of these cosmic actions taking place.
A good read if you are a serious DC fan or have been following any of the 52/Crisis storylines. Check it out.

Reprints Countdown #24-13. Superman-Prime searches for his perfect Earth while Jason, Donna, Kyle, and Bob search for the Atom. The Countdown series seems pretty pointless. This volume wasn't as bad as the previous volume, but still not great. DC like 52 and 52 was all right (if not a little boring) but Countdown pushed it too far with odd plot twists that didn't fit the characters and "major events" that didn't seem to fit with or affect the DC Universe.

Oh, yes, now we're getting somewhere :)
The stories are seriously developing, some rather confusing though, but all in all you can start to see the grand picture forming..
Still no clue what is happening to poor Jimmy, but I'm sure we are bound to find out soon enough..
Meanwhile all hell is breaking loose on 51 thanks to monitors, Monarch, Superboy Prime... Let's see how our heroes will manage this.. I'm off for the last part of the countdown!!

This book in the series really stepped it up. I enjoyed it greatly. It tied alot of threads together for the first time and actually made sense. It also introduced Superman Prime and him finally finding his universe. All in all the best so far.

Countdown to Final Crisis, 51-issue weekly series, starting with #51, ending at #1. They are collected in four volumes. Volume three contains #25-#13
OK only. Not so great. Storyline sometimes feel good, sometime meh.

I'm in for the long-haul with this story. This one was slower than the others, but it's still putting together some radical business for Final Crisis.

The art definitely got better as the issues counted down. Finally most of the characters are coming together and intertwining!
