I really like what they're doing with this book so far. Tony Bedard has come on board to help Paul Dini with the scripting. Which is probably a good thing, because this would be a huge undertaking for just about anyone. I'm sure the support is appreciated. Carlos Magno does the pencils this issue. They're great. We start out where we left off last issue, looking like Jimmy was going to be eaten by Killer Croc. But to his surprise, as well as Croc's, his elastic powers have kicked in. We haven't seen those in a long time. And we don't get any hint of where that's all coming from. We move right on to the Monitors. They're trying to keep the 52 universes safe. But they're having disagreements on how to go about the process. The one who came to our earth to kill Duela, seems to be at the heart of the conflict. The loose ends they're showing left over from the crisis have to deal with Karate Kid, Nightwing, Supergirl and the Legion. But we don't know exactly what those loose ends entail. And the 3 mistakes that they say must be eradicated are the Red Hood, Kyle Rayner and Wonder Girl. Donna not Cassandra. We then see a little bit of the Rogues. The Piper and the Trickster are trying to earn their way in to the group. Nobody trusts them because they were on the side of the angels for a while. It looks like, with this latest stunt, they've gotten in. But they're up to something. I don't know which side they're playing, but they're definitely playing one side or the other. And finally, Mary Marvel comes face to face with Black Adam. She doesn't have her powers back yet, and she's scared to death of him. But it appears that he's been looking for her. Fantastic cover by Andy Kubert. I'm glad to see the boys back, and working for DC. He and his brother are incredible talents. It looks like this book is going to be every bit as exciting as 52. I just hope all the creative people last that long.
