    Very interesting!

    Trickster seems to be holding Pied Piper's sonic flute...and wearing the 2nd Trickster's pants?

    Cyborg Supes seemes to be conferring with Kingdom Come Supes and "Returned from the Dead" Supes?

    Mary Marvel appears to have been corrupted by Granny Goodness and Eclipso but that's no surprise really...

    Nice to see Luthor in the Superfriends suit...I'm tired of the warsuit Luthor myself...

    Besides the broken Green Arrow on the ground, what's the rest of that stuff? Is that the Book of Crime? Phantom Zone Projector?

    These teaser images always look cool but I feel that Countdown is a letdown so far...sorta like "52", some cool sequences and arcs but on a whole a lot of filler.

      pretty sure that's the book of Destiny. Interesting that Penguin looks like a Earth 2 version.

        You are right. If you look closely he has gray hair and his face appears to be aged.

          re: The Penguin, I think it's just Ethan Van Sciver's personal style coming through in his interpretation of Cobblepot.

          That does look like the Bible of Crime on the ground alongside Black Racer's broken skies and poles. Not sure what the box with the sun on it is.

          Note the Joy Buzzer Joker is palming behind Catwoman and The Atom symbol glowing on KC Superman's hand.

          Is that Hippolyta's Wonder Woman Shield behind Granny Goodness?

            Just noticed that Superman-In-Black appears to have his hand cupped, whispering to Cyborg Superman maybe? Plus, he's got his back turned to the camera...hmmmmmmm

            Is that Brother Eye in the center of the firey background?

              That has to be one of the most bizarre pix with familliar characters I've seen

              Don't know if I'll ever read the book, but thanks for posting the cool pic

              Love that Luthor costume

                Very interesting INDEED!!! Looks like a lot of 4th World references, why are they around the smashed statue of Darkseid and what are Superman and batman's capes doing on the ground!!!
                I also play with other dolls:

                  cool--the series has picked up a bit as late, I think it has real potential.
