Countdown to Mystery

[Animalchandler]

As you can tell from my avatar I'm a Dr Fate fan so I was looking forward to someone putting him back in the DC universe. It's a new character (But a descendant of of original Kent Nelson), new costume, new helmet, no Nabu, new villain and a totally new outlook on how Dr Fate lives and breathes in his magic world. The good news is that it looks like someone is finally getting some good ideas on how to handle Fate, and making him a new user of magic means that everyone gets to learn from the ground up. Magic is more about the perspectives of the individual rather than the weird system they had where you had to sacrifice something.

 

The only gripe I have with this is the odd 'Dr Strange' spells he's shouting out - not a fan of that.

 

The Eclipso storyline I haven't got into as much, but my opinion of eclipso is based on the tussle he had with the phantom stranger during the 80's and that was near forgettable.

The Eclipso story is the reason I haven't picked this up. I'm hoping that they trade the Dr. Fate part without the Eclipso part.
