About this Collection

This volume collects the second half of the year-long weekly series 52, which follows the lives of lesser-known DC heroes and villains in the real-time year following the events of Infinite Crisis. Written by Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka, and Mark Waid, with breakdowns by Keith Giffen, the story focuses on characters like Booster Gold, The Question, and Steel as they navigate a world without Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. This new edition reprints issues #27-52 of the acclaimed series.

In "The Past Best Hope," Batman, Nightwing, and Robin navigate North Africa as Batman revisits the roots of his training, while Nightwing and Robin uncover a thread linking their journey to unfolding events in Gotham. Meanwhile, the Question’s deteriorating condition strains his alliance with Montoya, who leans on Kate for support, and Batwoman finds unexpected aid from a returning ally in her fight against Intergang. Written by Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka, and Mark Waid, with art by Keith Giffen, Joe Bennett, and Ruy José, and colors by David Baron, this issue’s cover by J. G. Jones captures the tension of a world in motion.
