About this title

Review:

"Four of comics' brightest writers seamlessly combine their characterization and conceptualization strengths to construct the gripping real time narrative."--WASHINGTON POST

"In the course of the first month's worth of issues, 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, all butting up against one another."--SALON

"Intriguing."--THE ONION A.V. CLUB

"Ambitious.... Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka, and Mark Waid have come up with plots about transformation, betrayal, love, and commitment that are enhanced by the myth-making superpowered characters. Now 16 weeks in, this is as addictive as any good TV series, any good mystery-novel series, any good comic-book series." --Entertainment Weekly
