EVERYBODY’S TALKING ABOUT COUNTDOWN
Well, DC kept the solicitations for previously LITG’d “Countdown” issues 51,50,49 and 48 out of the solicitation listings they sent to the press, but they remained in the online catalogue and can be seen here, priced at $2.99 each, with a poster, as
well as a signed version of #51 from Dynamic Forces.
What hasn’t beenseen yet are the solicitation details. Well, I can tell you that each issue will have a different creative team, with Paul Dini acting as
“showrunner,” “52″‘s Keith Giffen providing breakdowns and Andy Kubert and Tim Townsend providing covers.
Looking at May’s issues, the first issue, #51, is written by Paul Dini and drawn by Jesus Saiz. “Hawkman” team Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray write the
next issue, drawn by Jim Califiore. Then Tony Bedard writes, with Carlos Magno on art and finally Adam Beecham writes #48 with art from David Lopez.
This seems like a perfect way for DC to carry over the large audience that “52″ carved out for itself and for lots of happy retailers. Expect lots of early
incentives to keep them on board as as well.
Also expect to hear plenty more details about this from DC at NYCC and in this week’s Previews. It’s notable that on the Diamond website, there is no
available “back cover” image file for Previews. Yet. I understand that will update on Thursday.
It’s okay, that’s what I’m here for.
I’ll have a consonant please, Carol.
