I did enjoy 52, new multiverse aside it had some good character development. However when Countdown was announced I was more than a little disappointed. I thought DC would have learned something from how crossover heavy they were about 6 years ago (or however long ago OWAW was). The only difference between then and now is that the multitudes of crossovers are really just one story. If my theory is correct and the "New Earth" continuity is completely eliminated (including Dan Jurgens' stuff and whatever remains of Byrne), I'm dropping DC. If I want to live in the Silver Age, I'll buy the old hardcover volumes.
