52 Aftermath: the Four Horsemen #5 - DC


I'm beginning to think that these Four Horsemen may be one of the biggest threats that our Justice Leaguers have ever dealt with. They've faced Apokoliptian threats before. But this? This is a whole new ball-game. And although the big three, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, are at the front of the field . . there's no way they're going to win this without the help from a lot of different fronts. Even Snapper Carr. Wonder Woman is back at Oolong island. They're facing the threat of a hoard of undead soldiers being led by War. There's some kind of project that they're working on there that is using a lot of their power. If Dr.Cale would divert the energy from there to the shields, they probably wouldn't have anything to worry about. But she won't. And it seems like only her and Dr. Caulder know what the project is. When War finally does break through, Cale makes a bee-line for the project, but, finds it gone. Superman uses some brute strength to beat the one that's come after him. And Bruce ends up using his noodle to outwit his Apokoliptian threat. That only leaves Death and War. Right now War should be happy, because that's exactly what he's getting. Between the island troops, security, the Doom Patrol and Wonder Woman, War is going to get exactly what he wished for. The wild card, seems to be Death. He's up to something, but they can't figure out what it is. But seeing as how next issue is the last, my guess is all hell's going to break loose. Keith Giffen and Pat Olliffe have done a fantastic job with this series. I can't wait to see how it ends.
