I know what you mean. I haven't read Countdown yet, but I've been reading a lot of old comics lately, and I find that I'm missing the era I wasn't really around for. Impulse, Young Justice, old Superman... they weren't the dark things. The darkness was supposed to stay in things like Batman and Nightwing.
And yet it's spreading. Things are getting more angsty. And it seems like the characters that were never supposed to fall that way are, and it feels like something's being spoiled or ruined. That's one reason I fear the upcoming Teen Titans/Outsiders crossover, because it seems like they're going to take what Kon used to be and completely beat it over teh head until he's unrecognizable.
They're doing that too much lately, and I don't really like it. :/ That's not to say I don't love DC still, and enjoy their books. But I'd like to see some of the old days again, yaknow?
