Countdown #51

So Begins the End!" — and DC made that promise count with this ambitious 2007 weekly series launch. Andy Kubert and Tim Townsend's cover delivers a sweeping charge of the DC Universe's finest: Superman soars at the forefront, flanked by Wonder Woman, Batman, Robin, The Flash, Supergirl, Green Lantern, Red Hood, and a crowd of heroes surging forward with unmistakable urgency. With Paul Dini at the helm and fifty-one weeks of storytelling ahead, Countdown arrives as one of 2007's most ambitious DC publishing events.
