Countdown - Death From Above / History Of The Multiverse
Against the advice of Madame Xanadu, Mary Marvel has traveled to Gotham City, where she has found herself drawn to the building that used to house the Khandaq embassy. Here, she discovers Black Adam, and the remains of any who have crossed his path in his time here. But Mary feels that she may be here for a reason, and that her exile from the Marvel Family may tie her to Teth-Adam. While covering an apparent attack in the skies over Metropolis, Jimmy Olsen once again exhibits super-powers, this time in an intense burst of speed. But when the New God Lightray falls to Earth, apparently dying not even Superman can determine who is responsible. And at the funeral of Duela Dent, the Joker's Daughter, Donna shares a moment with Jason Todd... both of them familiar with the notion that they're living on borrowed time.
