Customer Reviews

You could read this *before* 52 if you don't know the DC Universe

This is a collection of recent, old and positively ancient stories featuring the ten main players of 52 (52, Vol. 1). Unless you are a big DC Comics fan you will not know these D-list characters since some of them (like Rip Hunter) were never really popular. 52 is a phenomenal saga of the forgotten heroes of the DC Universe and these old stories help set up the stage. The material collected here is of variable quality and tone, ranging from golden-age simplicity to contemporary complexity and from high-art to pure pulp. The effect of this variation was very positive, very refreshing to me.
