Most of these stories take place in the past, or alternate realities, but . . with Blackest Night running it's course through the DC books, I was wondering how they were going to explain it here. Batman's dead afterall, and Superman is exiled to New Krypton. How would they explain that away? Well . . as it turns out . . they don't have to. This story takes place in Gotham. Mat-Bat and SHADE are there because they're trying to find a way to save Francine's husband . . he's got cellular degeneration on a massive level. Meanwhile a black ring lands and attaches itself to Solomon Grundy. Apparently Scott Kolins does everything Grundy now. He just got done doing that 7 issue series, and now he writes and draws this book. Anyways, for some reason Bizarro is also in town. And he's feeling lonely. When he spies Man-Bat as Francine is giving him an inoculation . .'Ah . . me no like cuddly quiet Batman . . new enemy! Hey, why she shoot . . she give him powers! . . make him bigger . . stronger! She nice! Me like! Me no save . . RRR . . good man. Help my enemies! Bizarro really like!' He sees Man-Bat as the Batman to his Superman. The problem is, Francine doesn't need this right now. She needs Kirk to stay calm, and in human form, so that she can give him the inoculation and save her husband. When Bizarro comes in, Kirk tries to lead him away from Francine. And then . . then Grundy attacks them both. Bizarro sees him as a friend because of their previous adventure together, but Grundy doesn't want anything to do with him. The issue ends with Francine trying to get Kirk to change back, so she can give him the formula. If she doesn't . . he'll probably die. And Grundy is attacking Bizarro over Gotham. He looks to be on the brink of ripping out his heart. It was an interesting book. Grundy had to come back this way because at the end of the mini-series supposedly he wouldn't be able to come back again. But it seems to me that the Black ring would have a hard time hanging on to this guy. Anyways, we'll find out next issue what the outcome of all of this is, but . . I think this is basically a vehicle to bring Grundy back. We'll see.
