52 - Week Eighteen - DC


On to one of my favorite books. There's alot going on this week, again! We start out with the Detective Chimp, and a few of his comrads coming across the current owner of the helmet of Fate. He's not in very good shape though. Not only is he unresponsive, but as soon as they touch him, he turns into a puddle of . . . . well, something. We then go to Kahndaq, where "Charlie" and Montoya are being granted medals of heroism, for there part in saving the civilians in the crowd during Black Adam's wedding. Although Renee is feeling very guilty about shooting a teenage girl in the head, no matter how threatening the situation was. So she's gone on a week long binge of booze and women. Which Black Adam is very upset about when he discovers it. But, cooler heads prevail, and "Charlie" points out that the real problem here is Intergang. Which Black Adam, Isis and "Charlie" then decide to do something about. But, before we learn more about that, the Detective Chimp has gone back to France with the Helmet to get Ralph's input. It seems that Ralph and the Chimp share a common interest of detective work. We also see Booster's funeral in Cincinnati. The only town that would have it. Needless to say, no one shows up. Well, that is except for Clark and Skeets. Skeets then somehow finds someone, Daniel Carter, who is an ancestral link to Booster. Shadowpact then goes to Egypt, to try to figure out what's going on with the Helmet of Fate, but then it starts talking to Ralph. Or at least that's what he thinks. No one else seems to hear it. So is Ralph the next Dr. Fate? I guess we'll have to wait to find out. Love this book. Good story, good art and good covers.
