Let's do a quick recap. Superman gives Darkseid a bloody lip after one punch. I know he's Superman, but it's freaking Darkseid they have jobbing to him here. In fact, it doesn't turn to Darkseid's favour until he activates the chip he put in Jimmy Olsen and uses his powers to turn Jimmy into a walking piece of kryptonite.
Meanwhile, Mary Marvel is evil and uses Kyle Rayner as a human club and bashes Donna Troy repeatedly until the two of them are out cold. WHAP WHAP WHAP WHAP.
Finally, the Atom is inside Jimmy's head, breaks Darkseid's control chip and Jimmy then grows into a giant lizard-man thing and we end with him about to fight Darkseid. God, I hope the big conclusion to Countdown isn't an "epic" battle between Jimmy Olsen and Darkseid. I don't think I could handle it.
Verdict - Avoid It
