52 Aftermath - the Four Horsemen #2 - DC

This book was different. I picked it up because it was part of the 52 continuity. Apparently, these 4 Horsemen have something to do with Apokolips. They were sent, from Oolong island, to Bialya to stop Black Adam when he was on his rampage. Well apparently he hurt them more than he realized. They were forced to inhabit humans for survival. The problem is, they burn out the human vessels to fast. So rather than go from inferior container to inferior container, they decided to use the humans to help them rebuild their more superior bodies. Well Superman and Batman are in Bialya to try to assess the situation. Also to make sure that the problem doesn't spread past the borders. They think that nobody else knows they're there, but the Horsemen do. And we all know how susceptible Superman is to magic. So when they send all the bugs in the country after them, it actually has an effect on him. Luckily Wonder Woman, who has just come from talking to Dr. Cale on Oolong, is flying overhead. She sees what happens and pulls him out. He actually did her a favor because she was thinking about doing the same thing. Anyways, the Horsemen have basically ejected them from the country. While Wonder Woman was talking to Dr. Cale, she figured out that she is also scared of them, and so probably has her island of scientists working on a way to send them back. So with Batman and Superman essentially smacking their heads against the wall, it looks like they may have to work with someone they don't want to, to figure out a solution for this situation. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" thing. Also, I don't understand why, but this series is going to herald the return of Snapper Carr. Why? Who knows. This was a decent story. But I gotta say, I really didn't care for it. Things are obviously going to get worse before they get better. So it's all going to look like it's going downhill . . . until about issue 6. Maybe a little bit in 5. But 6 will be the turning point. But really, when it all comes down to it . . . I don't care. I'm really not that in to it.
