52 #1
This volume collects the first half of the weekly 2006 DC event series 52, which chronicles a year in the DC Universe without Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman following the events of Infinite Crisis. Focusing on lesser-known heroes and supporting characters, the story follows figures like Booster Gold, The Question, and Renee Montoya as they navigate a world grappling with the aftermath of the Crisis. This New Edition features updated coloring and restoration, presenting the saga in a more polished format.
"Golden Lads & Lasses Must..." kicks off the 2016 relaunch of 52 with a pulse-pounding blend of personal crises and rising stakes. Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka, and Mark Waid team up with Keith Giffen and Joe Bennett to chart the early days of a fractured world, where Ralph Dibny’s life crumbles, Renée Montoya seeks escape, and Black Adam asserts his rule—while a mysterious message, a missing scientist, and a haunting memorial hint at deeper currents beneath the surface. J. G. Jones’ striking cover captures the era’s tension, and the issue’s bold, character-driven momentum sets the tone for a year of reinvention.
