About this Collection

This third volume of DC's sprawling weekly series Countdown to Final Crisis continues weaving multiple threads toward the event that reshaped the DC Universe. Key storylines include the search for Ray Palmer across the Multiverse, the rise of the new Monarch, and the escalating conflict involving the New Gods, with characters like Jimmy Olsen, Mary Marvel, and the Challengers of the Unknown caught in the chaos. Collecting issues #30–#38 of the 51-issue series, this installment deepens the mystery of the Great Disaster and sets the stage for the final confrontation with Darkseid.

In "Bedlam Below!", Pied Piper grapples with the aftermath of Trickster's death while racing against a ticking clock—his manacles set to explode in 24 hours. As Desaad and Granny Goodness weigh the coming Great Disaster, Holly and Harley push through Amazon training, and a Monitor attempts to erase the Challengers of the Beyond, the stage is set for chaos with the sudden arrival of Karate Kid and his crew. Written by Paul Dini, Keith Giffen, and Sean McKeever, with art by Jamal Igle and inks by Mark McKenna, this high-stakes chapter of Countdown to Final Crisis features dynamic storytelling and bold visuals, all capped by Stéphane Roux’s striking cover.
