JMS and the power of Loeb combined do not nearly match the sheer shit-force of Geoff Johns, and the reincarnation of Bill Jemas himself, Dan Didio. With Infinite Crisis, DC came to a dead halt, and threw the gears completely in reverse. In less than a year, they pretty much ran DC into the ground, as far as I'm concerned. Civil War was glorious literature compared to IC. Countdown is just another misstep, and I guarantee another shot in the foot for the company...
