52 Week Seventeen - DC


And the train keeps 'a rollin'. This issue we start to learn about what happened to Lobo. We don't get all the pieces yet, but I'm sure we will. We start out with Lex's super powered team, the "American Dream Team", in action fighting KOBRA, who has launched an attack against an Air Force base. Of course they're succesful, and we find out that Luthor and his team are actually reviewing tapes, much as football players do, to examine and critique thier performance. Luthor decides they all need to have code names, and they have to change the color of thier uniforms. He's also planning on how to do the media tour to get them maximum exposure. We also find a chink in the chain, in Eliza the speedster of the group, who is not so happy with her powers, the side effects, and her limited ability to control them. Next we go to outer space where Adam Strange, Animal Man and Starfire, now that they have finally gotten off the planet, are trying to navigate through a meteor field. Starfire's powers are beginning to wane, as they've been going at this for a week, and Devilance is still pursuing them. The Devilance problem is quickly taken care of though by none other than Lobo. Who has supposedly joined a church and sworn off of violence. We'll see. Him and Starfire strike a deal and he hooks up to thier ship and starts towing them away from the meteors. We also get a glimpse of Red Tornado, who has landed in the biggest potion of his body he can find, and it's in Australia. He wakes up saying "52". Another adventurous book, and another week down. On the cover Lobo says, "Only 35 more 'ta go."
