Countdown to Final Crisis #1
Countdown to Final Crisis, Vol. 1 collects the first 13 issues of the weekly series that served as a direct prelude to Grant Morrison's Final Crisis event. This sprawling DC Universe saga follows multiple threads, including the search for the missing New God Ray Palmer, the death of the Joker's sidekick Duela Dent, and the journey of Jimmy Olsen, Holly Robinson, and Harley Quinn across the multiverse. The volume features a rotating cast of writers and artists, weaving together the fates of heroes and villains from across the DCU as they race toward an impending cosmic catastrophe.
"Look to the Skies" kicks off Countdown to Final Crisis with a high-stakes, multiverse-spanning mystery that throws Trickster and Pied Piper into a harrowing freefall—only to survive it in ways that defy explanation. As Jimmy experiments with superhero gear, Atom and his allies race to find the missing Ray Palmer, while Una remains in the 21st century with Karate Kid, all under the watchful gaze of Eclipso, who has his sights set on Mary Marvel. Written by Paul Dini and Adam Beechen, with dynamic art by Dennis Calero and bold colors by Guy Major, this issue sets a pulse-pounding tone with its layered, interconnected threads—cover by Andy Kubert and Tim Townsend.
