About 52 Volume 1
Product Description Four of the most critically acclaimed writers in comics--Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka and Mark Waid--are joined by breakdown artist Keith Giffen and a host of the industry’s finest pencillers and inkers to create this unprecedented event in comics history. DC’s groundbreaking publication of the weekly comic 52 tells the story of a “missing” year in the DC Universe--in real time. The cataclysmic events of INFINITE CRISIS have left the world without its three biggest icons¾Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman--and the question is asked: who will stand up in their absence? Now, in the first of two volumes, 52 is collected with bonus material after each chapter, including concept designs, page breakdowns, scripts, alternate story elements, and more! Collects 52 #1-26. Review “ Ambitious…. as addictive as any good TV series, any good mystery-novel series, any good comic-book series.”— ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY “An intriguing set of interlocking stories that look to take full advantage of the DC Universe's depth, teaming characters in unexpected arrangements and playing off the emotional aftershocks of Infinite Crisis.”— A.V. CLUB/THE ONION “ 52 encompasses space opera, hard-boiled detective fiction, psychological suspense, light comedy, Grand Guignol violence, medical drama and straight-up good-guys-vs.-bad-guys action, all butting up against one another.”— SALON “Four of comics' brightest writers seamlessly combine their characterization and conceptualization strengths to construct the gripping real time narrative.”— WASHINGTON POST “[A] grand experiment. . . .fun.”— VARIETY.COM About the Author Geoff Johns is Chief Creative Officer of DC Entertainment.
