DC Comics' 52, set to hit store shelves on May 10, is the company's
first foray into a weekly comic since they experimented with the weekly release
of Action Comics, which ran from June of 1988 to March of 1989 in issues
#601 - 642. Slated to fill in the gap between this year's Infinite Crisis
mini-series and the events of "One Year Later," 52 will bring fans into
the day-to-day world of the DCU.
Although DC attempted to bring fans a
weekly in the past, this is the first relaunch of such an endeavor in over 15
years and they have stacked the deck with some of the best talent in comics
today. This event, which will tell a year-long, in-continuity story, is
unprecedented in the comics industry and incorporates the talents of writers
Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Mark Waid, Greg Rucka, Keith Giffen, and many more.
In the aftermath of Infinity Crisis, the DCU must pick up the
pieces of its shattered world, while asking the question that's on every
characters mind: "Where are Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman?" This question,
along with many others will be answered as many of DC's second stringers take
center stage to guide fans through the missing "52."
