Countdown Presents: The Search for Ray Palmer: Red Rain

In this 2008 one-shot from DC, writer Peter Johnson teams with artists Angel Unzueta, Eric Battle, and Kelley Jones to spin a grim, supernatural side-quest out of the sprawling Countdown event. As the title suggests, the story follows a desperate hunt for the missing Ray Palmer, but here the search takes a bloody turn through Gotham's underworld, where a vampiric plague threatens to consume all in its path. A moody, standalone horror-tinged chapter, it showcases Kelley Jones's iconic, gothic style and expands the Countdown universe's darker corners.
