Week Twenty-Four of Fifty-Two opens with Oliver Queen on the campaign trail in Star City, being contacted by the new Firestorm, who’s starting up a brand new Justice League, consisting of a small contingent of F-List superheroes. Among the group of losers? Firehawk, Bulleteer, Ambush Bug, and Super-Chief. When they finally see combat, they’re confronted…

Twenty-three is a good number. Michael Jordan used to wear it on his jersey, and now we’ve got Lebron James flying the banner high in the sky. My first ATM pin number was “2323.” I like the number quite a bit; however, I hated this issue. It’s the first issue of “52” that I can…

Magnus: Robot Hunted! That tag on the cover makes it sound awesome. If only we were given an entire issue of Doc Magnus being hunted by big robots. We’re only given a few pages worth, though; although, those few pages are just as sweet as the cover promised. This week, number twenty-two of fifty-two, starts…

Well, I’m on beer number six, so I figure it’s about time I put something up about this week’s edition of “52.” The primary focus of this week is on a group of Luthor Everymen that I’ve been referring to as “The Generic Six,” but, according to the cover, we’ve been asking for something, and…

For the first time in the series, I find myself truly annoyed by “52.” I can put up with Lobo, and I can put up with filler issues, but not both. To start, let’s talk about what actually goes down this week. John Henry Irons opens things, helping fight a fire in some building. He’s…

This week in “52,” we’re given a big bucket full of question marks. It seems that everywhere you turn in this story, there are more reasons to scratch your head and wait until the next week. It’s compelling, but I’m starting to feel like a dunce, since I really have no clue where it’s all…

Admittedly, when it comes to Doctor Fate, I know next to nothing about the character; however, after a quick scouring of my old nemesis Wikipedia, I am now an expert. Not really, but I know enough about him to make sense of the shenanigans in the latest issue of “52.” Last time we saw the…

I don’t like Lobo. I read about a dozen or so issues of his series back in the ’90s, and I just plain didn’t like any of it. Every time I’ve read anything with Lobo in it, the writer gets this stupid idea in his head that Lobo will be funny if he’s an over-the-top…

Thanks to the first issue of Justice League of America, my hopes for the three marooned space cadets has diminished quite a bit. In that first issue, Wonder Woman mentions that she wishes they could have Buddy (Animal Man) join the team, but alas. Someone then mentions that they should pay his wife a visit….

I always thought that Booster Gold was a character with a great deal of potential. We’ve seen glimpses of it throughout the years. During the fight with Doomsday, he was one of the first to step up toe-to-toe with the monster (he was also one of the first to be clobbered into the stratosphere). Harbinger…
