52 - Week Twenty Six - DC


Alright! Another installment of my favorite weekly comic. Actually the only weekly comic. That's to bad too. Because I really like the way this book is going. But now, we're halfway through it. So sad! I'm definitely going to miss these awesome covers by J.G. Jones. This week is another incredible one. Anyways we start out with the Black Marvel Family, taking Vic Sage and Renee Montoya to the Himalayas, near Nada Parbat. I wonder if they're going to run into Deadman? Once there they hook up with Tot and Richard Dragon. We then go to Jack Ryder's show, as he's putting Dr. Irons on the spot over the debacle with the Justice League and Infinity Inc. a couple of weeks ago. We then end up at Thaddeus Sivana's mansion, where his ex-wife and kids have moved in and taken up residence. They found it abandoned because, unbeknownst to them, all the world's top scientists, good or "mad", have been abducted and taken to Oolong Island for something called the Four Horseman Project. Speaking of which, we get a glimpse of what happens when you put a bunch of scientists, all male nerds, onto an island alone, and then bring a female scientist into the mix. Not a pretty picture. And finally, back at Sivana's, Osiris has a bit of a tantrum because he's tired of just hanging out with Black Adam and Isis all the time, and not having friends of his own. Almost on cue, a crocodile that Thaddeus had experimented on, broke out of his cell in the basement and rapages through the house. He then ends up tearing through the house, and goes outside to eat and sulk. Osiris comes upon him, and after talking for a while decides to be his friend. Strange turn of events. Anyways, great characters, cool book, and it comes out weekly. It's every comic geeks fantasy. I should know.
