One-sentence: Finally, a countdown tie-in that keeps the flavor of the original book while advancing a plot.
This was good. The last issue of the Atom was, well, not so good, really, but this one makes up for it. Not only do we have the best Countdown tie-in I've seen, but we have a very good story on its own. Honestly, any book featuring jet pack Hitler, let alone a panel featuring in-battle musings over punching out an evil horse, is automatically a gold-star book in my opinion.
Seriously, jet pack Hitler. Awesome.
The art really worked well for this out-there issue. And I liked that Ryan Choi had some chance to be his own character instead of just standing there occasionally muttering "Ray Palmer is sooo dreamy," ala Countdown. Nope, instead we get his character, the very defensive, logical Choi. I do hope this title sticks around; now with the Dr. 13 mini over, it's my favorite place for crazy antics in the DCU, and it happens to have a pretty good story on top of all that!
Oh, not just jet pack Hitler, but circus peanuts as a motif. Again, awesome.
