Synopsis
After the INFINITE CRISIS, the DC Universe spent a year without Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman -- a year in which those heroes were needed more than ever as the fate of the world hung in the balance.
This is 52, a four volume collection of the unprecedented, critically acclaimed weekly series of death, danger, romance, terror and the never-ending search for heroism in the DC Universe's most eventful year ever.
The series features the best and brightest writers from the comic-book field: Geoff Johns (INFINITE CRISIS), Grant Morrison (ALL STAR SUPERMAN), Greg Rucka (WONDER WOMAN) and Mark Waid (KINGDOM COME), working together to tell the tale of a world awakening from a nightmare to face a new day. With their leaders gone, which heroes will stand tall? Who will fail at the most critical moment? Who will live -- and who will die?

Review
"An intriguing set of interlocking stories." "One of the most ambitious projects the comic industry has seen in a long time." "DC has yet to let readers catch their breath as they release one amazing story after another." "As addictive as any good TV series, any good mystery-novel series, any good comic-book series." "DC writers started the 52 series to do something different with a super-hero comic and they have succeeded." "An ambitious, even edgy story scripted by four of comic's best writers and starring the unsung heroes of the DC Universe." "Four of comics' brightest writers seamlessly combine their characterization and conceptualization strengths to construct the gripping real-time narrative. Grade: A-" "52 encompasses space opera, hard-boiled detective fiction, psychological suspense, light comedy, Grand Guignol violence, medical drama and straight-up good-guys-vs.-bad-guys action..."
