[UPDATED] COUNTDOWN
DC unleashes its next weekly comic event, and head writer Paul Dini gives Wizard the exclusive scoop!
By Rickey PurdinToss out your stopwatches, people—DC Comics takes control of counting down from now on.
Beginning May 9, the week after the final issue of 52 hits shelves, DC unleashes Countdown,
a massive, yearlong weekly series with writer Paul Dini sitting at the
steering wheel. The series literally counts down as it starts with
issue #51 and screeches to a deafening halt with issue #0. Along for
the rip-roaring ride will be a slew of backup writers, the entire DCU
and enough action to melt your face.“This is the ‘sh– blows up’ book,” deadpans the series’ Associate Editor Jeanine Schaefer about Countdown’s mammoth tone. And Senior VP-Executive Editor Dan DiDio couldn’t agree more.
“[Countdown] takes the best of Infinite Crisis and best of 52
and gives an even broader look at the DCU,” says DiDio. “It is going to
be a fast-paced action story that really ties in and plays through all
of the DC Universe on multiple levels. Paul Dini is the head writer,
and he’ll be bringing consistency in tone and voice to all the
characters. [It’s] something he did so well on ‘Batman: the Animated
Series’ and all the TV shows he’s worked on.”We tackled the Countdown
chief, Dini himself, to tell us why he’s doing the book, how much
“Lost” influences the title and what surprising characters will find
themselves in the spotlight.
