52 (Comic Book)	comment	52 was a yearlong series published by DC Comics from May 2006 to May 2007. As the name suggests it consisted of an issue every week for an entire year, a Herculean task made easier by having four writers (Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka, and Mark Waid), one breakdown artist (Keith Giffen), and a veritable army of pencilers, inkers, colorists, and letterers. The story takes place between the events of Infinite Crisis and the One Year Later storylines of Wonder Woman, Superman, and Batman.While Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman appear occasionally throughout the story, the main focus is on the rest of the DC Universe as it functions without its iconic heroes, devoting most of its panel time to second and third string characters, including some who had been all but abandoned at the end of The Silver Age of Comic Books. Because of the sheer number of characters to keep track of and all the continuity and decades old story lines used as the backbone of the story, 52 could be accused of veering into Continuity Porn. This is alleviated to a certain degree by the collected volumes of the series, which included creators' notes at the end of each week that tended to illuminate various parts of that week's chapter (including some of the more obscure references). DC also produced a companion book to the series that reprinted some classic issues featuring some of the major characters of the series that are not as well known (Rip Hunter, for example, had been pretty much been out of DC Comics since the 1960s, but becomes pretty important as 52 presses on), as well as more recent issues that set-up the characters for their individual stories.While plot lines and various characters flow in and out of each other as the year goes on, there are seven main plot threads that the entire series can be boiled down to for simplicity's sake (minor spoilers ahead): Booster Gold's attempts to become the next big name superhero in the absence of Superman begin to unravel as newcomer Supernova captures the public's attention. Meanwhile, Skeets begins to suffer from continual temporal distortions, forcing Booster to turn to Rip Hunter (the time traveling hero) for help. Ralph Dibny, still reeling from the events of Identity Crisis (2004), begins to investigate a Kryptonian cult devoted to resurrection (most importantly, the resurrection of the recently deceased Conner Kent) that appears to have an interest in his dead wife, Sue. After busting up one of its rituals, Ralph begins his own journey to resurrect Sue with the help of the Helm of Nabu. The strained relationship between John Henry Irons (Steel) and his niece Natasha eventually drives her to join Lex Luthor's Everyman Project, a program that promises to awake latent metahuman genes at whatever price Luthor deems fit. However, Irons soon discovers that the artificial metagenes come at a serious price, and Lex's paranoia of Supernova has led him to try to get the treatment himself... Renee Montoya, vacillating between alcohol and hook-ups to ease the pain over the death of her partner Crispus Allen, is recruited by The Question to investigate the expanding activities of Intergang. Their journey together becomes just as much about saving her from herself as it does the rest of the world from the newly founded Religion of Crime. As Black Adam continues to rule over the nation of Kahndaq he begins a new war against crime by publicly executing any super criminal that comes within his borders. His call for a new brand of superhuman justice is answered by other nations tired of American heroes running rampant across their borders, including China and its government sanctioned superhumans The Great Ten. Things begin to change though as Black Adam begins to build his own Marvel family, who convince him to follow a less bloody path. In the wake of a teleportation accident, Adam Strange, Animal Man, and Starfire must find their own way back home with limited supplies (including a lack of eyes in their pilot, Adam). Their journey not only puts them against some of the darkest forces in space, but makes them a target for the evil Lady Styx. In order to survive long enough to find someone to help them return home, they are forced to join up with Lobo, now a cardinal in an interplanetary religion of nonviolence devoted to a gigantic space dolphin. Doctor Will Magnus, creator of the Metal Men, finds himself abducted to Oolong Island and forced to participate with mad super scientists to create weapons of mass destruction for Intergang and its global ambitions. His resistance to the idea is severely hampered when his psych meds are confiscated.The major consequences of the series on The DCU as a whole is proving that the DC Multiverse still exists as well as setting up some of the future storylines of some of its major characters. It also set the standard for weekly yearlong series published by DC, which has yet to be equaled by any of the other series that have followed.Not to be confused with Action 52 or New 52.

52 (Comic Book) / int_23698fa8	comment	Aborted Arc: The original Booster Gold/Skeets arc involved the duo fixing the time-stream after it had been damaged during the Infinite Crisis. However, several issues into the series, after Skeets had already noticed several discrepancies between events as they happened and as they were recorded in the future, the writers decided that this plot had been used too often by other time-travel heroes and was too generic, so they switched to an actual malevolent threat that intended to manipulate time and reality for its own gain. Rip Hunter lets slip that the Multiverse exists in front of Doctor Sivana. This was probably intended to lead in to The Multiversity, where the bad doctor plays a key role, but given the long period of Development Hell it languished in, that Sivana's involvement had to be abandoned. During the final clash against Mister Mind, Rip Hunter reveals that this will mark the beginning of Booster Gold's glory days, and "the dawn of something called the Megaverse." This was never brought up again. In fact, the follow up Booster Gold series centered around Booster actually having to retain his reputation as a "failed hero."

52 (Comic Book) / int_2af6bbeb	comment	Break the Haughty: Booster Gold, after nearly reaching the very top of the superhero world, crashes down in ruins as Supernova steals all his glory, and his last staged heroism is exposed when the actor he hired to portray a supervillain exposes him when his check bounced. Natasha Irons is not quite as ready for the responsibility of being a hero as she believes she is, and struggles to deal with the realization. August General in Iron, who fervently believed that China's superheroes were strong on their own, was forced to allow outside help to stop Black Adam's rampage. The Heroes in the Everyman Project acted like stuck up snobs saying they're better than the JSA, but when Black Adam starts rampaging across the world, and Alan Scott asked for their help, they chickened out.

52 (Comic Book) / int_37fcf16	comment	Death is Cheap: Lampshaded by Ralph Dibny when he, Hal Jordan, Green Arrow, Metamorpho, and Zauriel are breaking up the Cult of Conner, which preaches resurrection. Ralph points out that Jordan and Arrow have both been dead before, and Ralph has actually lost track of how many times Metamorpho has been deceased in the past. With all their history, who is to say that the Cult of Conner does not have a legitimate point? The trope is later played with by the authors, who realised that past experiences would color the perspective of any readers. Booster Gold was never meant to be Killed Off for Real, it was always planned to be a deliberate trick to fool the villain, but the writers wanted to conceal that fact from the audience and they knew that comic readers would automatically view any "death" with skepticism. So, they had to find a way to actually convince readers of his death while not actually killing him, and they eventually settled on the simple and effective plan of showing his corpse. The trade paperbacks feature several rough sketches of attempts to pull this off, with panels showing his bisected body falling to the ground in several places, but this was determined to come off as hilarious instead of dramatic. The panel eventually decided upon was a half-success; fans did not actually believe Booster Gold was dead, but they did believe that he was permanently out of the series.

When the story starts, Renee Montoya has been living inside a bottle for so long that the creator commentary implies she is a full alcoholic who might not be able to get back on her own. After the Cult of Conner, as Ralph Dibny edges closer and closer to despair and insanity he begins to perpetually carry around a hip flask and frequently drinks, regardless of the situation. He is drinking gingold, keeping Felix Faust off balance by giving the impression that he is getting drunk.

The Science Squad, a collection of various mad scientists from around the DCU, has mostly had their various social phobias and maniac tendencies played for laughs up until this point. This should be a Curb Stomp Battle, and it is... but not in the direction that you think. The Science Squad finally puts aside their myriad squabbles and works together to lay the hurt on Black Adam, eventually capturing him. Just to put this in perspective, once Black Adam later escapes, he starts World War III. By himself. Against everyone. With no allies. World War III is Black Adam vs. the entire planet. And the Science Squad, of all people, take him down with little effort.

Grant Morrison is an avowed fan of the Silver Age, which is why many of the goofier characters appear in their stuff, such as Egg Fu in 52 (albeit Darker and Edgier). Still, Morrison was frustrated at being forced to ditch Egg Fu's prehensile mustache.

One panel, which showed her taking a pair of aspirin, was specifically drawn to give the impression that she was chewing the pills instead of just swallowing them, which turns out to be "an old drunks' trick."

Ralph Dibny knocks out a demon, pumps him full of gingold (a substance that makes a body super-elastic), then ties him up in a giant knot. By the time the demon regains consciousness, the gingold already begins to wear out (with all the nasty consequences of a regular body being tied into a knot), and Ralph offers another portion for the information he needs from the demon.

To manipulate Ralph and acquire his soul, Faust had to set up an elaborate Batman Gambit (the accidental deaths of prominent occultists) to get Ralph involved, wherein he'd 'take possession' of the Helmet. To earn Ralph's trust, 'Fate' also shows him a vision of the deaths. What Faust didn't consider was that he had just shown one of the greatest Detectives in the DCU a classic locked room murder mystery scenario. The Helmet was the murder weapon. And as Ralph so succinctly puts it, what's the first thing you do with a murder weapon? You look for prints.

Similarly, Sobek's constant complaints of hunger suddenly hit a lot harder when you learn that he's really Famine, a Horseman of Apokolips. This story, along with the Seven Soldiers maxi-series, sets up important plot points for Final Crisis. The scenes showing what Batman and Robin did in their year off set up a number of points which become important during Morrison's run on Batman, and Rip Hunter's chalkboard predicts events in a whole host of future stories.

The panels keep cutting back and forth between the characters, the joy of the wedding and the stress of the search, and Renee is eventually forced to kill the bomber to stop the explosion, which occurs superimposed over the final pronouncement that they are husband and wife. The last image of the scene, of Adam and Isis waving to the crowd, is reflected in the pool of blood coming from the dead child bomber. Later, when Adam and Isis enjoy their first night together as husband and wife, janitorial staff outside their windows are scrubbing the blood off the ground. The issues veered wildly from dark to just plain silly, like going from Ralph's seeming self-destruction to Lobo and space dolphin gods.

Lex Luthor has bought the copyrights and trademarks to various superhero identities and teams and is using them for the products of his Everyman Project. This results in a new Infinity, Inc. running around and a new Nuklon, but also a new Jade.

When Renee and the Question travel to Kahndaq they discover an Intergang safehouse and deduce that a bombing will occur sometime in the next few weeks. Unfortunately, the bombing in question is later revealed to be planned for the wedding of Black Adam and Isis which, due to the creative team deciding to delay the engagement of the two until a later week, has not actually been revealed by the time Renee and Vic head to Kahndaq. The writers acknowledge in the annotated edition that this makes Intergang into something of a prophetic criminal organization, because they apparently knew of the wedding before Adam had even proposed.

Dan DiDio himself said that he was completely unprepared for the amount of focus and recognition, including spreading into media that is not traditionally related to or focused on comic books. With such a focus on her and her sexuality she became known as DC's most high-profile gay superhero. However, the press response was greatly out of proportion to her role in the series, which was as a supporting character spread out over fifty-two issues, and after its conclusion she did not receive another starring role until her 2009 headlining of Detective Comics.

52 (Comic Book) / int_f5138226	comment	The Earth-Prime Theory: As of this series, the multiverse hinges on "New Earth" - not just a specific universe, but a specific planet in that universe. This becomes a plot point shortly afterwards in the Sinestro Corps War, where Sinestro wants to conquer Earth for this very reason.

52 (Comic Book) / int_fdb3b2b5	comment	Lady Drunk: Renee Montoya for the first half of the series as she deals with the death of her police partner, Crispus Allen, and being left by her romantic partner, Daria Hernandez. Unlike many versions of this trope it is not played for laughs; the creator commentary published in the trade paperbacks imply that she is now an actual alcoholic. One panel, which showed her taking a pair of aspirin, was specifically drawn to give the impression that she was chewing the pills instead of just swallowing them, which turns out to be "an old drunks' trick."

52 (Comic Book) / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: When Renee Montoya takes aspirin, the panel was specifically drawn to give the impression that she was chewing the pills instead of just swallowing them; this is "an old drunks' trick" according to the commentary in the trades. During the Black Adam/Isis wedding arc, Intergang coats the shrapnel of their suicide bomb with rat poison, an anti-coagulant, which is what real bombers do to make sure that their victims bleed out if they are not killed by the immediate blast. The Question has lung cancer resulting from years of smoking. Instead of a quick and clean death from the disease, or a Heroic Sacrifice since he knows he is already dead, he slowly wastes away over weeks, becoming sickeningly gaunt and delirious, hallucinating old friends and lovers as he babbles incoherently. Ungodly godawful, but a realistic depiction of a cancerous death, with accompanying moaning and groaning which author Greg Rucka knows from personal experience.
