Donna Troy faces off against Forerunner, an agent of the Monitors, but Forerunner's strength may be more than Donna can handle! Meanwhile, the Monitors themselves discuss the recent breaches in the Source Wall.
Countdown #45 was a solid read that was saved by such an unexpected surprise appearance by Captain Atom at the end. Other than that, the writing team just re-hashed what we have already read over the first six issues of this title.
