Just read it. Suggests a certain 'slacking' in editorial as DC rather than it being a writers problem.

Look, in Seven Soldiers of Victory, Darksied took Human form and ran a criminal underworld...still he was possessed by his search for the Anti life equaition..The "New Gods'' had been reduced to inhabiting the bodies of the homeless...

Morrison is pulling from there and just about every obscure area of the DCU he can find...Why? Because..thats what 52 and Countdown are all about...The characters you hardly ever hear about..DC's full of the "known" characters...Morrison wants to give the wannabe's a shot..the one-shots...

I for one think it's entertaining...

you got a lot of characters..why not use them...

Not to sound dumb, but I don't get what the point of the Final Crisis is?  I did read the original Crisis, read thru message boards on what's been going on in DC and even read Final Crisis #1. I just don't get the concept of another Crisis or where they are going with this.

Umm, have you not seen DC's sales numbers? Talk about a Crisis (compared to Marvel at least)!

Seriously though, What Morrison has to say about Countdown in that newsarama interview ... it's ridiculous. The thing was called "Countdown to Final Crisis" for god's sake. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a bit of continuity in there. And DC these days is so continuity driven, with so many obscure things (unsourced of course, where's Julie Schwartz when you need him?), there's no way they can just sweep this under the rug by saying "it's comics. Don't sweat the continuity, it doesn't matter." Ugh, it's super annoying!

I really wanted to get into Final Crisis but it seems like a mess already. I think i skip the second issue and just read the summaries.
