Countdown to Final Crisis #7

Our intrepid heroes are now back on Earth...or are they? This issue has the collected heroes running around Earth looking for help for Karate Kid and finding out that they may not be back to where they started. The characterization of Ray Palmer continues to jump all over the place with him now acting as a hero and not a whiny ass. This issue rambles along really going no where. It is better than last issues repetitious story, but not by much. I get the feeling that the writers are starting to stall again. After stalling for 26+ issues, throwing in some decent action, now we are back to treading water.

You could probably skip this week's issue and not miss a whole heck of a lot.
