Countdown Presents: The Search for Ray Palmer: Superwoman/Batwoman

So I got my stack of comics this week and decided to jump into "Countdown" first just to get it over with. For "The Search for Ray Palmer" series, the synopsis remains the same. I don't think it is any spoiler to note that the didn't find Ray here. Artistically this issue is a mess with a hodge podge of pencillers and inkers. I liked the cover and wished that that artist had done the interiors. Justin Gray and Jimmy Palimiotti's story pokes fun at DC's failed "Amazons Attack" story line with Wonderman and the male Amazons attacking the rest of the world. The Challengers are given even less to do in this issue as they sit around as spectators to what's going on.

No real information is given out in this issue about Ray Palmer. Just another symbol left behind that he was there and no direction as to where he was going and what he was up to. Over in "Countdown" Bob seems to have an idea where Ray is but that hasn't flowed over to these books. If the editors are going to dictate these story lines then they need to ensure continuity across the titles.
