In the aftermath of the Infinite Crisis, Superman, Batman
and Wonder Woman vanished for a year - now this incredible
new series reveals what happened while they were away. Self-serving
'hero' Booster Gold is grabbing headlines; Steel is investigating
Lex Luthor's latest masterplan; former cop Renee Montoya is
probing the mysteries of The Question; Elongated Man is searching
for a way to bring back his wife; and Black Adam is becoming
fatally proactive. Meanwhile, somewhere in space, Animal Man,
Starfire and Adam Strange discover a terrifying new threat...
Produced
weekly for 52 weeks to fill in the year between Infinite
Crisis and One Year Later, this groundbreaking
'real-time' series is finally being issued in a four part
graphic novel collection. This
series is written by some of the world's top writers, including
Greg Rucka, Mark Waid, Geoff Johns and Grant Morrison.
Highlights
for me in this collection include Booster Gold's selfish acts,
as well as the fact he pays an out of work actor to pretend
to be a new supervillan, so that he can swoop in and save
the day; the Elongated Man facing a difficult dilemma - just
what do you do when you are given the chance to make your
greatest wish come true?; Steel having to deal with a rebellious
daughter - superhero style; and Montoya taking a freelance
job from a man whose face she has never seen - but then nor
has anyone else.
There's
plenty of additional content in this collection including
notes on various weeks and the
inclusion of rough sketches throughout. Thankfully, to ensure
that nothing is spoiled for the readers, the rough art work
is only included on pages after the finished artwork has been
occurred in the story.
To
be perfectly honest, anyone who enjoyed Infinite Crisis
will find this an essential purchase - as will anyone who
enjoys superhero tales. With kick ass action throughout, this
is one of the few must own collections currently on the market.
