52 Week 7 - DC

Chapter 7 in the DC Universe Serial. Fantastic!!! First we have a blind Adam Strange, a despondent Animal Man, and an apparent drunk Starfire, still stuck on the tropical abandoned planet. Adam appears to be the only sane one. The fruit from the planet is affecting the other 2. Then we have Montoya, who in no longer a police officer, and fancies herself a P.I.. She is working with, or for, the Question. She has a space gun, a broken arm and a ton of questions about what she looking for. She also has a long deepseeded love for Kate Kane. Did you know she was a Lesbian?? I missed that somewhere in her history. Now, we have Ralph Digby visiting Booster Gold. He's investigating a ressurectionist cult called the Cult of Conner. Booster is very rude to him, and after looking around Ralph starts questioning Booster's motivation and agenda. He also nails him on the fact that he's privy to future knowledge, how come he didn't at least warn him about his wife. He's also mad about the fact that with Conner and Ted Kord gone, how come Booster's not doing anything about it, or at least looking in to it. The issue ends in a big confrontational scene in front of a Luthor office. There's alot of people gathered outside because they think they may be able to be test subjects for Lex's "supergene" testing program. Apparently he wants to make everyone a super hero. But anyways during the melee, the guy Booster hired to play the bad guy last issue, comes forward to expose Booster. The media of course if present, and Ralph really lays into him in front of the cameras. On the final page we have Starfire flying around on the planet and coming across what looks like a rocket or missle. The page perspective pulls out, and behind her there's a big "Galactus" type character looking like he's out to retrieve whatever it is she just found. Boom!!! End of issue. I really like what they're doing with this book. Issue 7, it's still not to late to get started if you haven't yet. It's really nice having a book like this that comes out every week. Go get it!
