DC Countdown to... Nausea?

I just read DC Countdown. Sat down in my chair, dove in, and read it. My reaction: Aaaarrgghhhh!

The central character wasn't served justly here. I feel numb.

I am going to go let this set in whilst reading the other offerings I picked up this week and then give it another look tomorrow. Maybe my perspective will change. Maybe the magnitude of the story was too much to wrap my poor little head around. I have a rule about reading something twice before I feel I can make a rational opinion, so I will wait.

Any opinions? Carl, you weren't kidding that this could cause a dog fight at the local comic book shop. Let the madness ensue!
