There's a growing belief among comic fandom that what Countdown is counting down to is yet another Crisis, DC-style. Now, I like a DC Crisis tale as much as the next nerdy, geek fan-boy, but wasn't it just a little over a year ago that Infinite Crisis wrapped up? Maybe I'd be more jazzed at the prospect of another one had the last one not fizzled out the way it did. There's also been speculation that this Crisis will be called Final Crisis, which seems a little unlikely to live up to its name (if true) considering how quickly new Crises are breaking out these days. (Of course, the so-called Infinite Crisis was far from being true to its title, too!)
Anyway, this latest teaser image from DC (shown here) implies an impending Flash death (or something similarly traumatic) which is, after all, a typical DC Crisis move (Barry "Flash" Allen was killed in Crisis on Infinite Earths and Wally "Flash" West was sent away to parts unknown at the end of Infinite Crisis). I guess we don't really know enough yet to draw any conclusions, except to say that that's a pretty cool cover! (I especially like how the last word of "THE FASTEST MAN ALIVE" has been trashed!)
