Comics this week

Countdown #36- Out of the various stories in Countdown, the writes has got 2 things right. Mary Marvel and the Piper/Trickster story were the only 2 things which were right about the book. After this issue, there's is only Piper/Trickster. Mary Marvel threw a temper tantrum and battle with her would-be mentor because...I'm not really sure why exactly. Essentially, the writers had destroyed the Mary Marvel story which leave only Piper and Trickster. Wonder how long it'll take for them to destroy that one?

Hiding In Time #2- I pick up the book due to the great plot. Listen to this: In the near future, the Witness Protection Program relocate people throughout time to ensure their safety. But then the program got shut down and hired assassins begin finding and killing the witness. Nathan Crew, a technician in the now-defunct Time Portal Division of the WPP, has to travel back in time to stop the killings! Now is that a great plot or what? The execution of the story (and the art) isn't as good as the plot but it is passable. A good story that could have been a lot better. Still, it is very interesting.
