The Horrors of 52

Was that... Could that have been...

The worst issue of 52 ever?

Let's consider the many, many things wrong with 52: Week 28:

  • Red Tornado appears, but he doesn't save the day.
  • Batwoman neither dies nor does anything interesting. Pick one!
  • Egg Fu did not appear.
  • Adam Strange... Angsting?!
  • The revelation that the terrifying Emerald Eye of Ekron is apparnetly nothing more than a piece of boring Green Lantern equipment.
  • The Question is still dying.
  • Richard Dragon doesn't appear, let alone kick anyone in the face.
  • We don't get to see Ralph Dibny go psychoer.
And many, many more.

In all seriousness, I was extremely underwhelmed by this issue. It might be my least favorite issue so far of the entire series. It just felt wrong.

But I've got to say... The preview for next week looks miiiighty encouraging...

I too missed my weekly dose of Dibney psychosis, but I didn't really mind Adam Strange getting a bit cranky...they HAVE been through a lot lately.

But what about the Aborigne dude who was cheering on the "Tornado Man" by shouting "52! 52!"?

That was the best part of the issue, anonymous.

Then another guy knocked "Tornado Man's" head off with a sledgehammer.

That made me sad inside.
