52 #4

This French-language collection from Urban Comics brings together the acclaimed weekly saga by Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka, Mark Waid, and Keith Giffen. The cover presents a somber, elegiac scene — a monument draped with a hero's cape and hat, a lasso and other tokens laid at its base, while a crowd of costumed figures stands in solemn tribute against a grey sky. It's a quietly powerful image that sets an appropriately weighty tone for this fourth and final volume of the 52 story.
