COUNTDOWN PRESENTS: LORD HAVOK AND THE EXTREMISTS #2 (OF 6)Written by Frank Tieri

Not sure what to make of this series now. It's basically just filling in gaps in a story that took place months ago in Countdown. I like seeing DC's take on Marvel characters, but the story is pretty weak and not really doing anything for me as of this second issue. In fact, from what I can tell, the whole point of this series will be to retell the Challengers / Monarch / Extremists fight from Countdown while giving brief origin stories for the Extremists.
I'll probably stick around for the duration of the series, but I'm not sure it's going to end up being worth my time or money. If you're not reading this, you aren't really missing anything either. If all we'll be getting is an origin story with some rehashing of Countdown events, I'm going to recommend just skipping it altogether unless you absolutely need to know everything about these characters and don't want to read the bio's on Wikipedia.
Verdict - Avoid It
