DC COMICS PARTNERS WITH MYSPACE FOR AN EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW OF COUNTDOWN

COUNTDOWN, DC Comics's new, yearlong weekly series, will be supported with an unprecedented preview of the first two issues of the series on MySpace's new comic book community.  MySpace Comic Books, located at www.myspace.com/comicbooks, will be the only place to see the first two issues of COUNTDOWN online, in their entirety. The online content will roll out over a series of three weeks:

       *       The first ten pages of COUNTDOWN 51 will be on www.myspace.com/comicbooks on May 4.
