I have to say the last two issues of Countdown have been my least favorite (I've liked most of the issues so far) and I truely believe they're the worst ones so far. The whole Journal/Notepad comentary from Buddy Blank really didn't do anything for me and Una's death just seemed really pointless. I understand they were trying to convey a sense of horror and "OMG the world is doomed!" but it really came across a little to blunt to me. If you want to really convey a sense of horror, you need to take time to build it up and not just rush through it in two issues.
Everything else this week was pretty good. The biggest suprise to me from the DC comics this week was they actually saved the Lord Havok and the Extremists mini from being utterly pointless. Apparently Lord Havok had a contigency plan ready and just before Monarch went BOOM he and the Extremists teleported onto Monarch's ship (at least I think it was Monarch's) and are now dedicated to bringing order to the other Earths of the Multiverse.
I have to agree with this. I haven't hated Countdown for the most part. But the last two issues just seem to be phoning it in... I don't like not having any dialogue and instead just having a narrator. It really just seems like they know they're near the end and they want to wrap everything up and move on.
