Editorial Review: Product Description: After the INFINITE CRISIS, the DC Universe spent a year without Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman -- a year in which those heroes were needed more than ever as the fate of the world hung in the balance. This is 52, a four volume collection of the unprecedented, critically acclaimed weekly series of death, danger, romance, terror and the never-ending search for heroism in the DC Universe's most eventful year ever. The series features the best and brightest writers from the comic-book field: Geoff Johns (INFINITE CRISIS), Grant Morrison (ALL STAR SUPERMAN), Greg Rucka (WONDER WOMAN) and Mark Waid (KINGDOM COME), working together to tell the tale of a world awakening from a nightmare to face a new day. With their leaders gone, which heroes will stand tall? Who will fail at the most critical moment? Who will live -- and who will die? Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - VOLUME 1... Not bad at allI'm a guy going through the road to Final Crisis and I gotta tell this book worth every cent of my money. I took the liberty of begining with Crisis on Infinite Earths, Hush, Under the Hood, the Countdowns and Infinite Crisis. 52 is a direct follow up to Infinite Crisis. Just were it left, without the 3 main guys and with the leftover heros... did I say "leftovers"?. I mean, this books (52) screams "DC Comics is not only Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman". There is a whole other ... Read More Rating: - "24" for the cape-wearing setThis volume collects issues from the "52" series--a year in the life of DC comics told in real time. There are multiple storylines woven throughout, my favorite being the quest of Ralph Dibny (the elongated man) to reunite with his beloved wife, Sue. The events here take place between Infinite Crisis and Final Crisis. At this point, I will read anything Geoff Johns writes; he, along with Morrison, Rucka and Ward craft a terrific series. Rating: - A very good beginning of the seriesIn the aftermath of Infinite Crisis, DC Comics launched an ambitious 52 week story arc that covered the DC world for one year. It tells the stories of the various DC characters as they deal with the new world with Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman gone. Many of your favorite DC heroes are here, including Booster Gold, the Elongated Man, John Henry Irons, Adam Strange, Black Adam, and many more. Overall, I think that this graphic novel was a very good beginning of the series of four, with ... Read More Rating: - Multiple storylines that are all goodI thoroughly enjoyed Vol 1. The world is out of the Crisis, so they think, and the big 3 are all missing...Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman. With these three gone and countless others missing or dead after the last Crisis, other super heroes try to step in to take their place. Black Adam seems to have gone a little police state nutty, Booster Gold is trying to capitalize and Lex Luther is trying to repair his always tarnished image while still screwing people over... and a few other very interesting ... Read More Rating: - The B-grade superheroes get the A-grade treatmentFor every comic book fan who's ever dreamed of a lengthy epic that deals with the B-grade superheroes, the superheroes who get forgotten in the press, well, welcome to 52. This wildly scripted and imagined world, drawing inspiration and characters from decades of comic books, is deeply satisfying to long-time readers. 52, Vol. 1 Buy superhero comic book collectibles at the Superhero Mall! |
