52 #3
This volume collects issues #27-39 of the 2006 weekly series 52, which chronicles the real-time year following the events of Infinite Crisis. The narrative follows several key DC characters—including Booster Gold, The Question, and Steel—as they navigate a world without Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, with this installment focusing on the rise of the new villainous group Intergang and the mysterious island of Oolong.
In "The Past Best Hope," Batman, Nightwing, and Robin are deep in North Africa, where Batman confronts the roots of his training, while Nightwing and Robin uncover a thread linking their mission to the chaos in Gotham. As the Question's health declines and Montoya struggles to support him, Kate faces new pressures—just as Batwoman finds unexpected aid from a long-absent ally in her fight against Intergang. Written by Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka, and Mark Waid, with art by Keith Giffen and Joe Bennett, and colored by David Baron, this issue delivers layered tension and emotional weight, all wrapped in J. G. Jones’s striking cover.
