52 – The Lost – Part 2/2
Now our detour ends, the second part of our look at the heroes who had been lost in space for year in 52. The Universe had been saved, but getting home from the job was a little bit more complicated that it should have been. Starfire, Adam Strange, and Animal Man had been stranded in [...]
52 – The Lost – Part 1/2
And now for a brief detour. When I came to write Starfire’s entry for The Graduates series of posts I realised that a lot of her recent history led back to 52. Last summer I ran a series of posts under the banner “52 in 52” charting the return of the Multiverse in 52. The [...]
The 52 in 52: Part 6 – The Truth
In this run down of 52 I’ve been concentrating on the subplot behind the number 52 itself. Rip Hunter and Booster Gold have been fighting an evil version of Booster’s sidekick, Skeets, a library/security robot from the 25th century. It knows that time is broken, that something powerful and new has been left behind in [...]
The 52 in 52 – Part 4: Skeet’s hunt for Rip Hunter
52 was DC’s first modern weekly comic. It bridged the missing year between INFINITE CRISIS and the “One Year Later” relaunches. At heart was the mystery of the 52 – what was the significance of the number? I’ve been following the 52 subplot through the series. First I covered the missing super geniuses from across [...]
The 52 in 52 – Part 3: The replacement League
I’m running down the events of 52 that eventually led to the revelation of the central mystery of the series. So far I’ve covered the disappearance of the evil geniuses and the death of Booster Gold. A slight interlude this time with a look at the wannabe Justice League from Week #24 – this is [...]
The 52 in 52 – Part 2: The Death of Booster Gold
Last time in this analysis of the mystery behind 52 we saw the genesis of several subplots – why were the Red Tornado’s last words “52″, why is Intergang kidnapping evil geniuses, and just what has Mister Mind turned into? Now it’s time to look at one of 52’s big players – Booster Gold (Michael [...]
The 52 in 52 – Part 1: The missing minds
Following on from our quick look at the publishing history of DC’s Multiverses I thought I’d go over the discovery of the 52 Multiverse in the series 52. Following the conclusion of INFINITE CRISIS the internal chronology of DC’s superhero titles jumped forwards by one year in a stunt called “One Year Later.” The idea [...]
