Countdown #37

In "Forbidden Fruit," the latest chapter of Countdown brings together a fractured team of heroes at Shadowcrest, where Zatanna welcomes Mary Marvel into the fold as Oracle completes her testing of Karate Kid. Meanwhile, Atom and his allies encounter the enigmatic Sacred Wizards of the Arionite Temple, while Pied Piper and Trickster find themselves in a very literal pickle—choosing the wrong place to pick fruit. As Holly and Harley share a workout, Jimmy’s unexpected revelation puts Clark Kent’s secret on the line. Written by Paul Dini and Adam Beechen, with art by Keith Giffen, David López, and Mike Norton, and cover by Shane Davis and Matt Banning, this 2007 issue blends mystery, humor, and high-stakes intrigue in a story that keeps the team on their toes.
