Book Description

September 19, 2007
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.

52 combines the brightest and best talents from the comic book writing field, Geoff Johns (INFINITE CRISIS), Grant Morrison (ALL STAR SUPERMAN), Greg Rucka (WONDER WOMAN) and Mark Waid (KINGDOM COME), working together with the world's finest artists to tell the tale of a world awakening from a nightmare to face a new day.

The DC Universe's most eventful year continues in this latest volume of the acclaimed series with Booster Gold, Renee Montoya, Black Adam, The Elongated Man, Animal Man, Lobo, Starfire and Adam Strange taking center stage.

4.0 out of 5 stars The best of the series so far September 21, 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
52, DC's innovative real time weekly comic series that fills in the events between Infinite Crisis and One Year Later, continues to go strong in this TPB, which collects weeks 27-39. In this collection, Black Adam and his Black Marvel family attempt to convice the world he's a changed man, while his new brother Osiris attempts to join the Teen Titans. The JSA disbands in the wake of Lex Luthor's young super heroes, and soon enough his true intentions are revealed. Also revealed in this collection, the identity of the masked Supernova, and it's quite a well done shocker. In the meantime, Ralph "Elongated Man" Dibny goes on a journey with the helmet of Doctor Fate, Renee Montoya learns a hidden secret from The Question, and Adam Strange, Starfire, and Animal Man learn of Lobo's true intentions. The final pages appear that things are about to come to a head, which all together make this the best collection of the series so far. With the writing tandem of Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka, and Mark Waid; would you really expect anything less? Each writer shines through in specific moments in each issue, and fans of Morrison's Animal Man run will love the delicious cliffhanger twist as Buddy Baker finds himself left behind. We also once again have a variety of pencilers and inkers as well; featuring Keith Giffen doing breakdowns, as well as Phil Jimenez, Dan Jurgens, Joe Bennett, Keith Champagne, Rodney Ramos, and Prentis Rollins. All in all, the third collected volume of 52 is where the series really hits it's stride, and with one more volume to go, the best is yet to come.

3.0 out of 5 stars A heavy heavy book which hard to completely like August 3, 2010
Format:Paperback
Just on its scope, this is a huge success. What an unbelievable undertaking a year long weekly comic. That being said, this series has gotten worse with each trade. Part of that is the focus on the plotlines that I hate (Lobo & crew, Sobek) or plotlines that have drug out too long (Question, Ralph Dibney). The art is also a step down from the last two volumes but it was churned out so fast its still impressive. Overall, I like many aspects of the book (Black Adam's family, Batwoman, Everyman Project, Booster Gold) but I really want all the stories to end also. Maybe its just my impatience but this was just a decent book but I have high hopes for the last volume.

5.0 out of 5 stars review for all four volumes February 12, 2008
Format:Paperback
DC's 52 was highly ambitious, which made me more than a little nervous, since projects as big as these usually fall flat. With the big three missing, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, DC picks up some acilliary characters and kind of turns them into the modern age superheroes. Really DC is trying to kick start some other books. But they do a good job, especially since there is a book a week. Bravo gentlemen.
