“This is my swan song, Trickster. What shall I play?
I stand on a lonely stage… with a single spotlight…
Another hero… Another mindless crime.
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime…
Yeah, the perfect song… The showstopper!
Outside the dawn is breaking…
But inside, in the dark – I’m aching to be free!”
- Pied Piper, Countdown to Final Crisis 09

Did I waste time redesigning costumes of minor DC characters? Yes, I did.

These two are my favourite part of Countdown. I don’t usually get emotionally involved with whatever’s happening in comics but they really got me rooting for them! (Also the Show must go on is an epic song so…)
