52 Series Discussion (spoilers!)

Egg Fu. That. Egg Fu. Kooky. Egg Fu. Grant Morrison. Egg Fu.
 
Not a bad issue. Mostly action and fighting. Steel Vs Nat.......Animal Man and Friends Vs Galactus Jr..........and The Question picking up Renee in a lesbian bar. Yeah....you read it right.

And Renee and Question being trailed by Batwoman.


No real revelations......



I liked the art.

A couple of tiny revelations. It looks like Luthor has a personal superhero security team, and Nat seems to be leading it.

Animal Man, Starfire, and Strange now have an intergalactic bounty on their heads because Devilance thinks they saw something they shouldn't have.

And the Question revealed his identity to Rene. Is it just me, or does Vic not look anything like he used to?

9) Is Supernova a character that has appeared before in the DCU?

SW: Not exactly. Unless you count World's Finest #178.

SW: Somewhere.

I have been thinking about that. Didn't Superboy (Connor) and Wondergirl have sex right before his last mission where he died?
By my experience a thing like that in a movie or comic only means one thing: Baby on its way!

..... Connor did get a El name didn't he? :? Or am I completely wrong?
 
They have said that Wonder Girl won't get pregnant.

And the name Conner was derived from Kon-El, Superboy's Kryptonian name.

Oh, right. THAT'S why I forgot about it the first time I came up with it. Then that scen was just a waste of space wasn't it................ :wink:

Right. That's what I thought.

She won't get pregnant because she already IS pregnant.

*coffcoff* nevermind...

Flipping through 52, I just realized an interesting plot element that I completely missed the first time around, and I'm wondering if it's showed up at all later and somehow I've missed it.

In either issue one or two Master Mind, a crafty worm who's a Captain Marvel villain, showed up in Dr. Sivana's laboratory before they dragged Sivana away. Then in the very last panel of issue three, we get a shot of him weaving himself into a cocoon. I don't know how I missed it the first time, but it's a really weird thing to end the issue with. Any speculation or thoughts on what might be happening there?

For that matter, we haven't really gotten much at all on the missing mad scientists in a while. Does it somehow tie in to Luthor's current project?
 
It's being run by Egg Fu, and therefore probably is under the supervision of Darkseid...

I don't know what its up to.

I daresay Mister Mind is even greater than Egg Fu.

Anyway, wouldn't it be fantastic if the two of them teamed up?
 
Also, Clark Kent is a gutsy guy... And It would seem that Supernova is neither Superman or Booster Gold... Booster seems to want to put a stop to Supernova...

Hrm...

I want more Rip Hunter.
