Waitaminute! That’s not the cover! The solicits lied to us! We’ve been duped! Remember that “Rain” we’ve been hearing about for the past few months, that’s supposedly coming to “52?” Well, if you take a look at the picture and replace all of the flames with falling Everymen, you now know what the Rain is…
Happy holidays, everybody. I’m a week behind on my “52” reviews, and I could very easily claim that I’ve been traveling, stuck in airports, celebrating with family, etc, but in the spirit of the season, I’ll just be honest and let you know that I’ve spent the better part of the past two weeks drunk…
Is Ralph Dibny dead? It’s doesn’t seem plausible, since he’s interacted with so many characters throughout this series, but I think he’s either dead or going to die soon. He’s told that the end is written, and he wrote it himself, in the Ambassador Hotel in May. Remember, the first time we see him in…
Ralph Dibny knows. One of the bigger mysteries in “52,” the identity of Supernova, has been figured out by Ralph Dibny. We’ll get back to that. This week, well, heck, if you look at the cover, you’ll know just about as much as I do in regards to what’s going on out in space. Lady…
Welcome to this week’s recap of the current issue of “52.” I’m your party host for the evening. This week marks the thirtieth issue that’s shipped on time in a row of the fifty-two we’re eventually going to see. Just think about that. We’ve only got twenty-two issues left to go, and this whole thing…
Hey, everybody, it’s my birthday! What better way to celebrate than finishing up my review of “52” in a timely manner and then getting completely slammified at the bars? I can’t think of a thing! So, that said, what happened this week, and, more importantly, how was it? Glad you asked. This issue focuses primarily…
Aside from an incredibly decent cover and a neat splash page featuring Batwoman laying the smacketh down on some Intergang thugs, this week’s issue is surprisingly dull. For the sake of ritual, though, let’s address what actually happens this week, and I’ll tell you why it sucks so much. First off, we find Renee Montoya…
After what’s been a surprisingly long time (a couple years now since Identity Crisis), Ralph Dibny comes face to face with Jean Loring, his wife’s killer. The issue focuses almost entirely on this meeting and it’s a damn good thing they gave it such focus. Sue Dibny’s death is one of the major tragedies in…
Whoa, we’re half-way there! This week’s issue of “52” opens up with the Black Marvel family dropping the Question and Renee Montoya off in the middle of nowhere, near some icy, impressively large mountains, where the duo meets up with a couple of the Question’s friends. One of them is the man who trained the…
In the first couple of pages of this week’s issue of “52,” we meet the main boss behind the Intergang infiltration of Gotham, and he’s not only a cannible, but he’s a terrible party host. He murders a lot of his guests. He doesn’t murder Magpie or Ventriloquist, which is interesting, since they’re two of…
