Countdown #28 was a good read. Dini continues his upward trend on this title as almost all of the plotlines have been jumpstarted and are now progressing with a point and purpose. Countdown still isn't a title that I would definitely recommend you run out and buy. Nor has Countdown come close to matching the incredible experience that was 52.
