I was just about to post that, Proj.... I'm going to end up buying all four of those books, and I'll probably be incredibly disappointed. Oh well. Anything for 52...

I'm hoping they can do a good job of explaining Cass Cain's transition.

I don't think they need to explain much more. The issue that she "killed" Shiva was awesome
 
I have deduced that Supernova is the Atom, judged by his shrinking abilities.

Shrinking + LoSH Flight Ring + Light Powers = Ray Palmer, The Atom

Light powers make sense based on the fact that his powers are derived from a white dwarf star.

Also, This week's 5.2 About 52 at Newsarama may or may not back me up:

You have to remind that this is a guy who has acess to a lot of weapons and gadgets from other heroes, I think it is someother else, using the Atom's belt.

If this issue is a preview of things to come in the 52....Bring it on!
HOLY **** THAT WAS AWESOME!



SPOILERS HUGE SPOILERS!!!!

















Ok, so Supernova and Rip are in Kandor, when suddenly Skeets appears and tries to destroy the city, Supernova goes big and reveals to be.........MICHAEL CARTER!
First time in Rip's lab, Booster meets with him, and Rip tells him about Skeets, so Booster was acting dumb until his fake death (his body was replaced in the explosion by Rip Hunter.)
He got back in time and did the Supernova thing, with the gadget of lots of heroes. Booster had to gather an arsenal to use against Skeets...and this is when they reveal their biggest weapon: The Phantom Zone Projector!
They turn it on and start pulling Skeets inside the phantom zone, but something is not right, actually, the whole freacking phantom zone gets pulled INSIDE Skeets!
Rip Hunter teleport Booster and himself away from Skeets (He mention 52, as if it were seconds of a countdown). Skeets, now with the power of the phantom zone goes after them.

Oliver Queen is running for mayor as his friends help him in the devastated Star City, Hal Jordan fix the electric wires as Green Arrow and Black Canary talk about the city and Ralph, he is unstable and they need to find him.

In Space, Lobo makes a funeral for Buddy, Adam Strange said the body could be contaminated and he didn't want to take chances so they leave Buddy in an asteroid (looks like it). Lobo, Adam and Starfire go to "The Seven Golden Planets".
The End.













Oh wait I almost forgot the part where ANIMAL MAN WAKES UP AND SEE THE ALIENS THAT GAVE HIM HIS POWERS!






400/5 - Best issue yet.

Holy ****! Skeets is now a mobile Phantom Zone!

Buddy's alive, and the ****ing aliens are there!

Booster's alive, and he's redeemed!

And the Question is going to be around next issue!

****! *******! This is so exciting.
 
52 is the best thing DC has done in like ever. Every issue has some unforeseen exciting event happening, and every issue is better than the last. I'm going to miss 52 when it's gone... 52!

Buddy and the aliens... holy ****, just when I was planning a fanfic where the aliens return to tell Buddy "his story is not over". I knew Morrison wouldn't let one of his favourite characters die.
 
The second Skeets absorbed the Phantom Zone, my first thought was: "Zod? Skeets is crazy enough as it is, imagine him with "Kneel Before Zod" in his head.

And yeah, I got the clue.

spell the message by taking the first letter of every third word
 
They also said BNooster GOld and Animal Man were dead.

Don't bother listening to those guys, everything they say is stupid crap.

Yeah, well.... You're stupid crap. They said the body they found in the explosion was Booster Gold's body, and it's damn likely Buddy WAS dead.

Maybe he'll be resurrected (we can hope), but he is dead.

Also, someone at Newsarama brought up an interesting point I completely missed. Will Magnus seems to be stockpiling mercury and tin, two materials he needs to create the Metal Men! Dude's even more clever than I thought....

At least they know how to write "Booster Gold".

Charlie's dead, but The Question's not. Answer The Question.

Exactly. When Charlie was talking about Renee transforming like a butterfly, I initially thought he was talking about himself.

From what I understand, the last Question series had him developing weird urban-shamanic powers. Maybe that will have something to do with him transforming into something more than a detective with a mask. and I don't know what to think about that.

Maybe he'll have totemic Detective Powers, granted upon him by the great detective god. The most recent in a long line of "Detective-men".

Yeah, he could "tap" into the "city" with some weird urban shaman stuff. I'm not sure if I'd want him to live in some weird shaman state though... it would be kind of confusing.

I think it could work very well if Morrison wrote the All-New Question, but maybe not so much if Rucka writes it.
 
I think its pretty clear that renee will become the new question... she'll probably get her own book with Batwoman as a supporting character, or it'll be the other way around. I just hope Rucka writes it.

With Vic... I hope he comes out of this all alive, but paralyzed, so he becomes basically the new Aristotle Rodor (Vic's mentor) to Renee.
 
Really? Because I'm pretty sure Rucka's been doing most of the Rene/Question bits.

Nah. I LOVE how Rucka writes the Question, and I also think he's the one who's been writing those parts. I'm just saying, Morrison would probably do a better job with the totemic aspects, if they decided to play that up.
 
I've been a huge 52 fan so far, but killing the question and making him into some kind of shamanic entity is way too much.
