52 Week 9 - DC

First let me start again by saying that I really like this weekly serial idea. Hopefully when all is said and done they get another series going like this. Anyways we start out with Lex toasting his accomplishments in front of a room full of people, and also, after being attacked by a fully tranformed Steel, introducing his new Super hero team. We don't learn fully about them yet, all we get is that John's neice is one of them and one of them is named Herakles. But we do see that there's 6 of them. Then we get a brawl between John and his neice. Neither are willing to concede. And both have legitimate points. Personally I think the best bet for John is to back off and let Natasha find out who Lex Luthor truly is. She doesn't know yet, but if she's in his company for any period of time, she'll find out. We then go to the tropical planet where Animal Man, Starfire and Adam Strange have been caught by "Devilance the Pursuer". That's the big Galactus looking guy. Apparantly someone thinks that the humans involved in Infinite Crisis "Stood at the Center of the Universe. You saw beyond the veil, beyond the two score and twelve walls of heaven. That knowledge belongs to gods alone." So now they and anyone else that was there are gonna be pursued by bounty hunters. Finally we see the reporter that the Question hired to look into all the gang activity in Gotham. He comes face to face with her in a Lesbian bar and confides his secret to her. This of course puts her back on the trail of Intergang, according to the Question. He says that Gotham is being targeted by Intergang for an invasion. Oh, and in the last panel, there's a new Batgirl/Woman on the rooftops. What's that all about? Anyways, good book. Good stories. Good characters.
