The Starfire / Animal Man / Strange half of this issue was just running through the paces this issue. Just random action with little to no actual story progression filling up the issue. It was terrible, but it didn't really impress me all that much either.
The Forerunner half of the story was equally random, but in a different way. Monarch randomly betrays Forerunner, who, up to that point, had been pretty much as faithful a servant as you could ask for. Why he went to the trouble of getting rid of someone as powerful as her made no sense. She took down entire multiverse versions of the Justice League by herself and he betrays her? Came out of nowhere, much like many Countdown plot points.
I also hate how this story isn't lining up with the events of Countdown in the slightest. Last week revealed she was out of Monarch's services, but didn't reveal why. This week's issue shows he betrayed her and there has been no mention of this in the actual Countdown series. In fact, many of these events aren't lining up and it's getting annoying.
Verdict - Check It.
