52: The Companion #[nn]

A handsome grid of portraits on J. G. Jones's cover — a suited man with a gun, a close-up of a determined woman, a blue-costumed figure in a green energy field, a metallic powerhouse, a roaring figure in gold-and-black armor, and a goggled hero in yellow-and-blue — announces this 2007 DC trade collecting solo adventures starring the breakout characters from the hit series *52*. Among the creators inside is the remarkable pairing of writer Steve Gerber and Walt Simonson, who handles art, inks, colors, and lettering on his contribution. At $19.99, it's a satisfying deep-dive for anyone who fell in love with this corner of the DC Universe.
