It's been a long day and I have very little of note to say. So I'm just going to talk about the much maligned (unfairly, I fell) series Countdown.

One of the obvious things about Countdown is the preponderance of story arcs and characters compared to most series -- and even compared to 52. Though there is no point to this beyond organizing my own thoughts and laying them out, I will attempt to lay out the various story threads within Countdown. I have no idea how they connect or which ones are the most important. These are listed in no particular order.

1. Karate Kid and Una seek out... Something
   
2. Donna Troy, Jason Todd, and Bob the Monitor search for Ray Palmer
3. Monarch and Forerunner scheme
4. Jimmy Olsen and his amazing powers
   
5. Mary Marvel tries to find her way
   
6. The Monitors scheme more
   
7. Holly Robinson and the Amazons
8. Pied Piper and the Trickster run
   
9. Darkseid schemes the most
10. The Death of the New Gods
    

So there we have the ten storylines that I can see within Countdown. Again, I'm not sure which ones are the most important or connective. But those are the ones I see as important.
