In a nutshell: Booster’s back, and he hates Supernova. They fight, and Booster goes boom thanks to a nuclear sub exploding high above Metropolis (yes, that actually makes sense). Renee and The Question break out of prison. Next week, Adam and Isis make it official. It’s been weeks since we’ve seen Booster Gold in 52….
“52” has fast become one of my favorite pleasures of every Wednesday. This week’s no different, save for some small complaints I have with the cover of the issue. Simply put, the cover doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Take a quick look at it. It’s got a sweet picture of Steel holding the…
“Poor Ralph . Even after he thought he’d lost everything, he still had his mind. Now… Now what happens?” Save three pages, this issue is all about the resurrection of Susan Dibny, Ralph Dibny’s deceased wife, murdered by Jean Loring in “Identity Crisis.” In this issue, Ralph brings in Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Green Arrow…
It looks like we have another answer to one of the questions scrawled on Rip Hunter’s blackboard, folks. Who is Diana Prince? Why, she’s one of Cassie Sandsmark’s aliases. Ralph Dibny, ever the detective, figures it out while looking for the people who broke into his storage garage last week. Cassie and the Cult of…
So that this review can be found with the other 52 reviews, I plucked it out of the week’s compiled reviews and gave it its own little home. “And gathering together countries like chess pieces to consolidate a power base that only serves to threaten your people and the rest of the world.” How does…
In Week Six, Booster Gold visited Rip Hunter’s lab, only to find that the good man has gone plum insane and has also vanished without a trace. Amongst his mad scribblings on his chalkboard, Rip has left a note reading, “Who is the Batwoman?” She’s been shrouded in mystery ever since showing up in the…
I think that may be my favorite moment in “52” so far. Granted, Black Adam has been nothing short of bad-ass throughout this thing, but that moment is absolutely brilliant. That aside, here’s the rundown on this issue. Clark Kent is fired from the Daily Planet for not being able to secure an interview with…
After hearing about Lex Luthor’s plot to create a procedure designed in order to turn regular saps into super heroes, we finally get a glimpse of what he’s capable of (other than turning John Henry Irons into actual steel). That’s right, folks, he can turn average people into a bunch of foolish looking tough guys…
In week eight, we find out, conclusively, that John Henry Irons has been infected by Lex Luthor’s metagene, which is slowly turning his body into stainless steel, an ironic joke on Luthor’s part, which eventually turns Natasha, Irons’ niece, into Luthor’s hands, where she’s also going to be given the gene, since she thinks her…
Let’s get the nitty gritty out the way first. In this issue, Renee Montoya goes to a private party where she hopes to find some clues on the case they’ve been working on. At the party, she meets with an ex-girlfriend, named Kate Kane, whose family owns the warehouse on 520 Kane Street in the…
