Countdown round up
The last thing you need is me telling you why I hate DC's latest event. So let's see what other people on the internet are saying:
Randy Lander
In the end, I'm far more divided over this book than I was about Identity Crisis, and so I'm doing something I haven't done in a long, long time, and that's offer up two ratings. Basically, if I was looking at this from the point-of-view of whether I buy into it, whether it makes sense and if it looks and reads well, I'd give it a 6/10, for the many reasons detailed above. If I were to rate it on pure personal gut feeling and how much I wanted to chuck the book out a window after first reading it, I'd give it a 1/10.

these people read the same comics i did, must've liked them-- why would they work so hard to get into comics, suck up to editors, work for years... just so they can do the Blue Beetle Snuff Comic Crossover Experience? i guess when you get older you forget that feeling you had originally...
its such a sad hobby in so many ways... (Read the whole review, it's vintage A.K.)
Alan David Doane
FUCK THEM! IN THE ASS!
Mike Sterling
Well, I can say that I enjoyed it for what it was
Tom Collins
I don't buy the villain, I don't buy his scheme, I don't buy his need (nor the writers' need) to kill Blue Beetle, I don't buy his inability to kill Beetle before then if he actually wanted to, I don't buy the contemptuous fashion in which the other heroes treat Beetle (especially Batman, who may be a dick, but is -- or should be -- smart enough not to dismiss the suspicions of someone with Beetle's intelligence), and if this comic hadn't been one dollar, I wouldn't have bought the comic at all.
Brian Cronin
And it’s a real shame, too, for DC Countdown to Infinite Crisis truly is a result of what happens when you get four angry bulls together in one area.
A load of bullshit.
Johnny Bacardi
Like the horse that used to pop up in Ren & Stimpy, when you ask me what I thought, I'll say "No sir, I don't like it". And I won't be buying, either. Life goes on, and I stopped being emotionally invested in the spandex set ages ago. But that doesn't mean I can't be sad for this wrongheaded, venal direction that DC apparently feels it has to go in.
Tom Spurgeon
I think the things I like most about these series content-wise is how DC has been tying them into the death of various characters. Only in DC's largely-in-awe-of-itself collective mind would some goofball in a bug outfit kicking the bucket lend gravity to a potential world-destroying event.
Lyle Masaki
Overall, I was impressed. Tho that's a "I was expecting a 3 out of 10 and got a 6... it's twice as good as I expected!" sort of impressed.
Heidi MacDonald
The only problem with big epics that change everything forever is that you can really only experience them a few times in a lifetime. Then you wise up -- or are supposed to any way. Change is for kids. It seems that today's DC readers -- by and large men 25-40 years old, respond to this kind of universe changing stuff in a Pavlovian way.
Dorian's boyfriend, Pete
It was very well-written, and the heroes did it to themselves...Do they really have to keep on using killing people as a plot device?
