Okay, so the preview for Countdown #4 just about made my head explode.

First, I've never seen... Just... Well hell, look at that cover. If I didn't know better I'd say that Mary's right breast is bigger than her left one. Is this some sort of allegory on the superiority of good over evil?

Also: Darkseid on a couch. Apparently the DCU's supreme embodiment of evil likes a good sit down every once in a while. Do you think he was watching TV before Mary got home? Maybe rooting around in the fridge for leftovers?

Mary: How dare you eat the last slice of cheesecake!

Darkseid: Darkseid dares all.

So tell me... What do you all think of this little image? This teaser for Countdown?

Are you worried they're goint to make Mary Marvel grim and gritty? Ruin the fact that she's one of very few genuinely nice girls. in comics (or the real world, for that matter) Perhaps that concern is justified.

But I am not concerned. I believe that Mary is tough enough to come out of whatever DC throws at her intact. She'll come out of Countdown as strong as she's ever been. Without losing any of what makes her Mary Marvel.

But then, I've always been an optimist...
