DC Especial: Arena - Contagem Regressiva

In 2009, Panini Brasil launched DC Especial: Arena - Contagem Regressiva, a single-issue special that served as a prelude to the larger "Arena" storyline. Published in Portuguese for the Brazilian market, it was a tie-in to the multinational crossover event, setting the stage for a conflict that would bring together heroes and villains from across DC's global publishing lines. Though brief, the issue is notable as a unique, localized entry point into a broader, internationally coordinated saga.
