Countdown: Arena #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeCountdown: Arena is a 2008 DC Comics miniseries that pits alternate-reality versions of DC heroes and villains against each other in a tournament-style conflict. Written by Keith Champagne, the story features characters from across the Multiverse, including various iterations of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, battling for survival in a cosmic arena overseen by the Monitor. This collected edition compiles the four-issue series, serving as a tie-in to the larger Countdown event that explored the DC Multiverse before the Final Crisis storyline.
In "All Fall Down," the final clash between the Supermen reaches a fever pitch as Monarch forces them to channel their combined energy into Christopher Kent—only for Monarch to withstand the assault. Meanwhile, in the Bleed, Captain Atom (Earth-38), Quantum-Storm, and Batman (JSA: The Liberty File) confront Monarch, who reveals the shocking truth: Blue Beetle (Earth-33) and Breach have been working with him all along. With Breach arriving at the Arena leading the "Captain Atom Brigade," Monarch absorbs their power and prepares to face the Monitors, now fully empowered and unstoppable. Written by Keith Champagne and illustrated by Scott McDaniel, with inks by Andy Owens, colors by Guy Major, and letters by John J. Hill, the cover by Scott McDaniel and Andy Owens captures the moment of ultimate confrontation.
