Countdown Presents: Lord Havoc and the Extremists

I've been reading this comic, not because I have any attachment to the characters (I don't, tho' it's always nice to see some JLI alums pop up), or because I like the author (I don't), or because of the Countdown brand name (hellz no), but because I'm always interested in exploring new Earths throughout the new multiverse and yadda yadda.

Anyway.

I can't quite figure out whether or not it's supposed to be a parody of bad '90s comics with overwrought plots and dialog, characters who are total jerkasses, and art that looks like it was done by a hormonal 14-year-old boy.

If it is, then it's actually pretty darn clever.

If it isn't, it's crap.

Hmmm.
