Countdown to Final Crisis (2007–2008) was a 51-issue weekly series, written primarily by head writer Paul Dini and a rotating roster of writers consisting of Justin Gray, Jimmy Palmiotti, Tony Bedard, Adam Beechen, and Sean McIver, initially meant as the leadup to Final Crisis for which it was named. However, much of the events were retconned or ignored after the book’s negative reception.The Multiverse has gone wonky. The Monitors have come back into existence with the return of the parallel universes, and they foresee a "Great Disaster" — and one Monitor, consulting The Source, is told that Ray Palmer (currently in self-imposed exile since the events of Identity Crisis) is the answer. From here, the script splits into a variety of plot threads: Donna Troy and Jason Todd end up traveling the Multiverse with Bob, one of the Monitors, searching for Ray Palmer, initially joined by Ryan Choi (the fourth Atom), but joined by Kyle Rayner instead when Choi gets whisked out of the plot. They search multiple universes and come up empty-handed most of the time. The Monitors spend 26 issues arguing over what to do and whether they should intervene in the natural order of things to either help or stop Solomon, a Monitor who killed Duela Dent and is attempting to purge the multiverse of lifeforms that migrated from alternate universes, claiming they are polluting the timelines. Superman-Prime and Monarch traipse through various universes (wreaking havoc on several alternate Earths) while Darkseid schemes to take over the main DC universe with the Anti-Life Equation. Mary Marvel, seemingly abandoned by the power of Shazam, goes out searching for answers. She ends up stealing Black Adam's power, turning evil not once, but twice. Jimmy Olsen ends up developing superpowers and tries to become a superhero — or at least find out why he has them. In typical Jimmy Olsen fashion, he soon gets sucked into an investigation into the death of the New Gods and winds up toe-to-toe with Darkseid. The Trickster and Pied Piper go undercover to gather info on the other Rogues and get framed for murder. They wind up in a Chained Heat situation and go on the run from both the heroes and villains. Holly Robinson and Harley Quinn end up in a women's shelter organized by Athena (actually Granny Goodness in disguise), who trains them as warriors without telling them why. Karate Kid and Triplicate Girl end up stranded in the past because Karate Kid is infected with a strange virus; they try to find a cure. In the meantime the pair run into Supergirl, who remembers her time with the Legion of Super-Heroes and learns she was stranded in an alternate future.The plot threads often overlapped as the result of the search for Ray Palmer, with heroes of one thread waylaid by villains of another, which resulted in a lot of multi-sided battles and several assassination attempts before Darkseid, The Monitors, Monarch, and Superman-Prime start slaughtering characters en masse. Multiple other plot points were also introduced, but these were resolved in other titles, as well as multiple spin-offs. | |

Evil Versus Evil: Monarch conquered Earth-51 and wouldn't stop there. Then Superman-Prime attacked him... Heel–Face Revolving Door: Again, Mary Marvel. Girl comes dangerously closer to the dark side, first by being given Black Adam's powers and gaining a dark version of her Shazam Family outfit. Then, she becomes Eclipso (Jean Loring)'s apprentice. Later, she returns to her normal heroic self, albeit powerless, until she meets Darkseid sitting on her couch and is offerred her powers back. | |

All There in the Manual: Much of the coherency of Countdown hinged upon a familiarity with the multiple tie-in titles. This contributed in part to its unpopularity. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| Countdown to Final Crisis (Comic Book) / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: DC promoted the series with the hint that Jimmy Olsen was going to be killed off by The Joker early on. They handed out buttons at conventions reading "Jimmy Olsen must die!" and even did a cover for Wizard showing Superman mourning a dead Jimmy, complete with grisly Joker Venom smile. Countdown #51 has The Joker holding Jimmy's press pass on the cover. And in that issue, Jimmy... interviews the Joker for a news story, and nothing much else happens. | |

Shoot the Shaggy Dog: Several, but Trickster making gay jokes about Pied Piper through half the series with the implication that he will learn a lesson about homophobia due to his adventure, only to be randomly shot through the head in the middle of things probably takes the cake. Will Karate Kid and Triplicate Girl manage to find the cure to his mysterious virus? Nope! | |

| Countdown to Final Crisis (Comic Book) / int_34082c59 | comment |
Wolverine Publicity: In Countdown Arena, the winner of the battle between the three Green Lanterns was an Alternate Universe Bruce Wayne, meaning that the best Green Lantern is... Batman. Particularly galling since the other two GLs (a Hal Jordan from a Fawcett Comics–style universe and a new GL from the Batman Beyond timeframe) were a lot more interesting. | |

Crisis Crossover: The maxi-series was touted as the lead-in to Final Crisis (as of its mid-point, issue #26), itself another "Crisis" event in DC's history: a threat to the multiverse, the presence of monitors (themselves holdover from Crisis On Infinite Earths), even Darkseid (perennial cast member of DC crossovers). | |

Unstable Powered Woman | |
| Countdown to Final Crisis (Comic Book) / int_3b4c1417 | comment |
Unstable Powered Woman: Mary Marvel loses the powers originally bestowed upon her by Shazam, but a dying Black Adam grants her his own powers, which leads to Mary taking on much greater power with a new darker costume to go along with it. The villain Eclipso (herself once the wife of superhero The Atom) uses this to rapidly seduce Mary to evil, only for Mary to turn against her once she realizes she's gone too far. Almost immediately afterward, though, Mary receives a visit in her home from none other than Darkseid himself, who correctly guesses that despite her temporary reluctance, Mary is still addicted to the evil power and tempts her into receiving it once again. | |

Not-So-Omniscient Council of Bickering: The Monitors, who spend almost the entire series arguing if they should do something or not. It's worth noting that later in the series the main characters have to decide if they should kill Karate Kid, annihilating his disease before it will kill him and turn into a pandemic, or look for another way to deal with it. Instead of doing something, they spend the entire time bickering at each other, until it's too late. | |

Earth-Shattering Kaboom: Superman-Prime becomes one of these during the miniseries. Having been displaced from his own universe, he tries to find his way back—repeatedly flying into a rage at the inferior copies of Earth he finds in the alternate universes and destroying them. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| Countdown to Final Crisis (Comic Book) / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Nice job bringing along a deadly plague that destroys an entire universe, then leaving without trying to solve the problem, "heroes". Special mention goes to that universe's version of Hal Jordan. The plague would have been confined to Earth, if he hadn't had the genius idea to go out into space to warn other planets... without realizing he was already infected. | |

Random Events Plot | |
| Countdown to Final Crisis (Comic Book) / int_a07afea2 | comment |
Random Events Plot: Between having seven intertwining main plots with their own subplots, excessive reliance on 12 different tie-ins, and running incorporation of whatever going on in the DCU at the time, and the story ended up becoming a convoluted, nonsensical mess. | |

Canon Discontinuity | |
| Countdown to Final Crisis (Comic Book) / int_a32334b4 | comment |
Canon Discontinuity: A good portion of the whole mess was rendered non-canon within weeks of its completion. Everything concerning Superman-Prime, for example, was tossed out of the window, with the character going from his role in the Sinestro Corps War directly into Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds. Likewise none of it is even alluded to in Final Crisis. However, Superboy-Prime annihilating Earth-15 is still canon, according to The Multiversity, and the JLAxis of Earth-10, who are recruited by Monarch appear in a dream-sequence. | |

Character Filibuster: Solomon the Monitor spends half the series repeatedly hijacking the Monitors' conference with constant, doom-prophesying horror stories about Crisis on Infinite Earths, in order to convince the other Monitors that they have to kill Bob and stop his interdimensional joyride, justify his murder of Duela Dent, and get everyone to help him wipe out all the people who were originally from Earth-2 and the other pre-Crisis parallel universes. | |

All for Nothing | |
| Countdown to Final Crisis (Comic Book) / int_aed65980 | comment |
All for Nothing: The Hunt for Ray Palmer ultimately turns out to be this - he's supposed to be the antidote for Morticoccus virus, since he's never been sick a day in his life, and the Ray Palmer he replaced had been working to make sure each universe would have at least 1 person immune to the virus. However, the virus ends up infecting Karate Kid, who thanks to being from the future (and having different genetics), causes the virus to grow beyond Ray Palmer's immunity, which leads to the virus spreading and wiping out the entire universe. For that matter, because the finale stays in Earth-51, it doesn't even impact Prime Earth. | |

Be Careful What You Wish For: Jason Todd notably gave Batman grief during the Under the Hood arc for never avenging his death at the Joker's hands by killing the Joker. In this comic, Jason enters a universe where Batman did kill the Joker in retribution for murdering Jason Todd, but quickly escalated to wiping out all the other supervillains as well as his fellow heroes the moment they disapproved of his methods. | |

Four Lines, All Waiting | |
| Countdown to Final Crisis (Comic Book) / int_e8dcd1c0 | comment |
Four Lines, All Waiting: Countdown is an easy contender for having some of the most convoluted, incomprehensible series of plot structures in comic book history, and a big factor in it is that there are way, way too many stories going on in it. There are at least seven main plots in the main comic alone, and they frequently intertwine with each other and have their own individual subplots as well. And then, you have several tie-in comics with their own plots that directly overlap or also intertwine with the main comic, including the Amazons Attack! standalone story, tie-ins in other comic series such as Justice League of America, The Flash, Outsiders, Birds of Prey, Death of the New Gods, Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew!, and five more tie-ins directly tied to Countdown—Countdown Arena, Countdown to Adventure, Countdown to Mystery, Countdown Presents the Search for Ray Palmer, and Countdown Presents Lord Havok and the Extremists. Plus, the series broadly factors in events going on in the main series comics of the characters. | |

When Ray Palmer manages to destroy the mechanism allowing Darkseid control, Jimmy immediately takes on his Giant Turtle Boy form to lay a beatdown on the Lord of Apokolips. | |
