In "Dances with Monsters," the fourth week of DC's 52 series brings a storm of tension across Gotham and beyond. Montoya keeps watch over a crumbling building with unsettling results, while Halo's search for the missing "space team" hits a turning point. Booster Gold's isolation deepens as he burns a bridge with the superhero community, and Steel's upgrade is interrupted by a mysterious assailant. Meanwhile, Ralph's meeting with Wonder Girl and the enigmatic Kryptonian cult leader Devem leaves him changed—though not necessarily for the better. With J. G. Jones' striking cover capturing the series' eerie edge, this issue blends personal stakes and cosmic mystery in a way only Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka, and Mark Waid could deliver, illustrated by Keith Giffen and Joe Bennett with inks by Jack Jadson, colors by Alex Sinclair, and letters by Rob Leigh.
