So Brainy left him to die in the 21st century with a temporal anomalous disease caused by their time travel that could wipe out history when in the 31st century a school child could likely cure his team-mate? This makes sense how?

Keith Giffen was the Story Consultant on Countdown #6. I think that's all you need to know.

I think that Karate Kid has just been a silly plot device set in countdown... However, this was visibly decided well before Giffen was involved with the project.

Not to interrupt the "crappiest mini-series of all time" thread that seems to have taken over this Action thread ( ), but Comics Continuum has the first 5 pages of Action #863 posted here, along with some other DC books coming out this next Wednesday!
I cannot wait for this!!!! (except that it will be over for now...)

I try not to spoil myself on preview pages for books I love reading, but I'm glad I did. Brainy really is a genius.

I'm still trying to figure out how Dirk goes from the pron star mustache on one page to the Clint Eastwood Man with No Name five o'clock shadow on the next.

Good catch Scott! Dirk...as in Dirk Diggler? You'd think the colorist would have been a bit more consistent in that.
I liked Gim catching Dirk, and Yera's reaction to having to wake him up.
Looks like the sun will go yellow at the last moment before Clark splats to the ground, so the plan must be for him to instantaneously get his powers back rather than having them build up.

Things like this make me realize why I only buy Legion and the occasional other book (like the current Action story).
