Countdown:Arena
It seems as though every internet comic book site,comic news service and magazine has an ‘exclusive’ on the new DC series Countdown:Arena. So,CBO announces it’s exclusively low-key news on the series!
Keith Champagne,best known recently for his writing work on DCs Green Lantern Corps and the World War III tie-in to the 52 series, was formerly best known for his inking work but will now be writing an oversized four-issue weekly mini-series called Countdown: Arena.
The series will see battles between “some of the greatest heroes from throughout DCs 52 universe”.
Which confuses me because isn’t DCs “52 Universe” part of the regular-continuity-all-over-the-place universe??
Anyway,in the series,the megalomaniacal Monarch gather the greatest heroes from several parallel Earths with the idea of convincing them to destroy the Monitors. But there is a twist of sorts.
Perhaps not such a good idea but,in September,fans will be given the chance to vote on the outcome of some of the battles. Oh boy.
Covers will be by Andy Kubert while series art is by Scott McDaniel and Andy Owens.
