Countdown #20

In "Loneliest Number," Brother Eye consolidates his forces in Bludhaven as the fractured heroes scramble to respond. Jimmy Olsen, wielding the strange powers of Turtle Boy, tracks down Forager, while Pied Piper drags Trickster’s body into the desert—only to confront the weight of what’s been lost. Jean Loring recovers the crystal from Mary Marvel, setting a quiet but potent moment in motion. Written by Paul Dini, Keith Giffen, and Adam Beechen, with dynamic art by Howard Porter and inks by Art Thibert, this issue pulses with tension and emotional gravity. The cover by Karl Kerschl captures the bleak intensity of the moment.
