Regarding DC's Countdown titles, don't you wish they would..?

get the whole thing taken care of already? I have not been able to purchase any of these titles because there have been so many, and the stories have taken so long. I may do so in the near future, but can you afford to buy all these? I sample a few comics here and there, and have 3 titles I buy on a regular basis, but with both Marvel and DC doing the Annihilation and Coundown to Crisis stuff, I just can't afford to keep up. I like some of the characters from all the other worlds, etc., but I DO favor just one Earth, both for DC and Marvel. What's your take?
