A Countdown to a serious loss of sales!

At the Savage Critic blog, it's discovered that ComixExperience in California has lost a lot in sales of DC's Countdown weekly, which certainly tells that people may be starting to smarten up to DC and Dan DiDio's tricks.
Though it may not really be a company-wide crossover in the way that Marvel's World War Hulk and DC's WW3 are turning out to be (the x-over even extends into the "All-New Atom", with even Jason Todd making an appearance), it is a case of the superfluous, and no one should be forced to spend their money on something that could likely turn out to be another underwhelming ripoff. If Countdown does turn out to be a flop, DiDio will certainly be receiving a well-deserved lesson for repeatedly short-changing the audience.
