COUNTDOWN TO FINAL CRISIS #11Story by Paul Dini

The good for this issue? Uh, the story progressed. The bad? Everything else.
Holly, Harley and Mary defeated the Furies, a New God group that recently took down Hercules and went toe-to-toe with Wonder Girl and a bunch of other heroes before the New God killer killed one of them. Let me point out that none of those characters are super powered outside of some minor enhancements for Harley. They also dispatch a platoon of parademon shocktroopers and take their weapons before moving on to free 'the gods', which I assume will be Athena and the other gods Granny somehow captured.
OMAC is assimilating the entire planet of Apokalips, Parademons are turning into OMACs and the planet is being absorbed or something. For some reason I just can't see Darkseid sitting by and watching this when he could probably destroy OMAC in 10 seconds flat. It's human technology destroying futuristic, by human standards, weaponry and defenses, which are all controlled by a freaking god that makes Superman wet his pants.
Elsewhere, Karate Kid is cured and up and running around, kicking demon ass. I must have missed the scene where he got better, as he even says he has the virus in him still. Last time I recall seeing him, he was lying on the ground dying, unable to even stand on his own power. Una turning into an OMAC made little sense either, but at least it signals that storyline is nearing an end.
In general, lots of random, unexplainable nonsense. Thankfully, it moves the story along to a point where I can probably forget about everything that happened this issue by the time the next one shows up.
Verdict - Avoid It
