This issue really just sets us up for the up-coming Solomon Grundy mini-series. It's brought to us by Geoff Johns and Scott Kolins with an amazing cover by Shane Davis. Lately we've been getting hints that Solomon Grundy changes every time he's reincarnated. That's his curse. He's born on Sunday, and then moves on until he's killed again. Then the next Sunday . . . he's born again and has to go through the whole process over and over. But, lately, we've seen that he doesn't always come back the same. Sometimes he's stronger than others. Sometimes he's smarter than other. Sometimes he's more compassionate than others. The point is that something changes every time. It appears that this time that he's come back, he's able to change back into his original human form of Cyrus Gold. And somehow this time he's garnered the attention of the Phantom Stranger and Alan Scott, the Green Lantern. Alan and Solomon have been enemies for quite a long time, but . . it appears that this time there's something different. This time the Stranger and Alan think that they can break Cyrus' curse. Actually, the Stranger has brought Alan into this. Alan isn't really keen about this whole thing. But, you know how the Stranger can't really become involved so he's told Alan that he's going to have to lead Cyrus to a cure. They have seven days. Which sets us up for the mini-series to follow. I think it'll be interesting. Solomon Grundy has never been one of my favorite characters, but . . there's something there. Especially with Alan's character involved also. Plus . . with Geoff writing it . . you just know it's going to be fantastic.
