Week 34 Recap: a.k.a. Lex is the biggest dick ever

 

Week 34, Day 1 or Week 34, Day 3 (both days are listed as such amongst a three page spread during the same scene)

 

California, Redwood National Forest: The Suicide Squad - Atom Smasher, Captain Boomerang, Persuader, Count Vertigo, Electrocutioner, and Plastique - are waiting and watching Black Adam and Isis from a distance as they arrive to meet Osiris and Sobek after their first day at Titan’s Tower. Upon meeting up, Osiris tells about touring the Tower, getting his own locker and communicator while Sobek explains about their first adventure; helping “Kid Eternity stop the Keeper’s plans for controlling the dead…”. Black Adam is still questioning their speech from last week as he is still being condemned for his actions inside and outside of Kahndaq, while Osiris is happy that it got him into the Titans and that the world will come around once they see what “good we’re going to do”. At which time the Suicide Squad jump into action and attack the BMF.

 

Atom Smasher grabs Black Adam and tells him that he needs to turn himself in before smashing BA into the ground. Atom Smasher tells BA that “I don’t want to hurt you” to which BA responds “Albert you won’t” and them knocks Atom Smasher out; Atom Smasher’s fall also ends up taking out Captain Boomerang.

Plastique and Electrocutioner cause and explosion that knocks Osiris down, while Persuader takes on Isis. Isis is upset that Persuader’s axe is radioactive and poisoning the trees. She flies in towards Persuader but is thrown off balance by Count Vertigo. This makes Persuader mad as he swings his axe at Vertigo telling him the that “tree hugger is mine”. Persuader then cuts into Isis’ left arm and follows that up with a “krank” to the face. Just as he is getting ready for the killing blow Osiris spots what is going on and flies towards them telling Persuader to “LEAVE MY SISTER ALONE” to find that his flight was too fast as Osiris ends up flying through Persuader and cutting him in half. Osiris is shocked and what he just caused and starts crying. Isis sits up, hold her brother and it starts to rain. Black Adam tells the BMF “Let’s go home before anyone else is hurt” and the four of them fly off.

 

Count Vertigo checks in with Waller wanting to know what they should do. Waller tells Vertigo “That’s all right, Vertigo. I never expected the Suicide Squad to actually bring them in. I got what I really needed. Video feeds were live and recorded. We pushed the Black Marvels and they pushed back. All these super-powered teenagers are the same”.

 

Week 34, Day 4

Metropolis: Mercy is with the girls of Infinity Inc as they are out shopping and being watched by the Bird of Prey. When Mercy attempts to pay for the clothes with a credit card the card comes up as declined as it was reported stolen. One of the security guards has the three split up because of the paparazzi with the guard taking Natasha down a stair well where they are met by another guard. The guards are then revealed to be Black Canary and John Henry. John says that he wanted to talk to her with out Luthor knowing about it:

Natasha: If this is another warning…

John: Look at me, Nat. Look at my skin.

Natasha: It’s back to normal. Congrats, you found yourself a cure or whatever.

John: No. I didn’t do this. It ended on it’s own.

Natasha: What’s the point?

John: Your friend Blockbuster killed Eliza Harmon, Trajectory. How did a slug like Blockbuster manage to grab someone who could move that fast? How did he move fast enough to snap her neck? You’re a scientist, Nat, that’s what you told me. Just look at the facts…draw your own conclusions”

John leaves and Natasha looks shocked.

 

Week 34, Day 5

Metropolis: Clark Kent is tied up in a basement and is being shot up with “Gaemytal. It’s as close as modern chemistry can come to synthesizing the atomic structure of Wonder Woman’s lasso”. Luthor holds up a picture of Supernova and asks Clark

Lex: Why is the Man of Steel masquerading as Supernova?

Clark: Oh ho, ho, ho…

Lex: We’re quite serious Mr. Kent.

Clark: That’s what makes it funny. Gentlemen, I have no idea who’s under that mask, but the one thing I do know for certain is this: He’s not Superman.

 

Week 34, Day 7

The panels start to inter twine between Lex and Charlie, so as to not make things confusing I will provide the storyline for Charlie/Question and then Lex. When you get the book you will see why.

 

Gotham: Charlie is taken to St. Luke’s Hospital because he stopped breathing for three minutes. Charlie is now on a morphine drip to help him with the pain. While waiting in Charlie’s hospital room Charlie is weakly singing “Danny Boy” and Renee turns on the TV to show the “S” - Superman’s Symbol - drop from Lexcorp Circle. As the “S” starts to drop Charlie tells Renee “Now you must go away and I, and I must, must, bide…” Renee is looking down while holding Charlie’s hand. The countdown is at two ***no beeps, bells, lights, or flat lines on the monitor are shown***

 

Metropolis: Kent is still being held at Lexcorp. One of the doctors tells Lex…

Dr.: Neurosensors verify Kent’s not lying, Mr. Luthor. The Daily Planet has been using Kent to get exclusive coverage on Supernova. There’s no better source of information. If he doesn’t know who’s under the mask then…

Lex: Drug Mr. Kent, take him back home, and let him believe that he was interrogated by the Yakuza. He’s of no further use to me.

Dr.: You were so sure…

Lex: And get out.

Lex then goes up to the roof and tells his security that no one follows. As the sky is full of flying Everyman Project heroes, Lex takes out a report from his pocket that shows him to still be negative for the Everyman Project.

Lex:"Whoever you are, Supernova, this city isn’t yours. It’s mine and your winning too many hearts. It’s time you failed in the face of a real challenge."

Lex takes a remote out of his pocket, clicks the button when the New Year's countdown hits “zero”.

I was curious if anyone in here read the recent issue of Detective Comics written by Paul Dini in which the Joker captured Tim Drake? I really wish that Dini would stick around for a long time and continue to write this book.

Week 35, Day 1

New Year’s Day, 12:00:01 A.M.

Downtown Metropolis: Hundreds of Everyman Project heroes are falling from the sky and crashing onto the streets, and other items, of Metropolis as their powers are no longer working. One of the Everyman heroes named Leviathan attempts to grow to stop a LARGE falling lady hero but is unsuccessful as the blood splatters on Leviathan’s wife’s face shows. Luthor is still on the his building’s roof when he receives a call:

 

Lex: Yes, Dennis. Yes I’m watching right now. Utterly Horrifying. Our Everyman, dropping like anvils. Something seems to have..hold on.

 

Lex looks up, turns and walks away from the ledge of the roof when a hero falls right were he was standing. (best scene ever)

 

Lex: Something seems to have negated their powers right at the stroke of midnight. No, I can’t imagine how that could have happened… (With a big smile on his face)

 

A person is shown running out of a warehouse/lab where a news report on the rain is being broadcast. Supernova is then shown flying down toward Luthor - still on the roof.

 

Supernova: LUTHOR..!

Lex: I know! I’m shocked! Appalled! Gosh, if only Metropolis has a Superman who could stop this chaos. Oh well.

Supernova takes off and heads for the streets of Metropolis where fires are burning and bodies are still landing. Due to the fires a gas main on fifth avenue erupts. Supernova flies over the crowd of people and uses his powers to teleport the crowd outside of Metropolis; they appear at the “Welcome to Metropolis Home of Superman, the Man of Steel” billboard.

 

Infinity Inc., while in their formal wear, are helping the crowds and saving who they can.

Nuklon: …lucky thing we’ve still got our powers…

Natasha: I don’t think it’s luck it’s more like…

***Natasha looks up and sees Supernova flying over head.***

Natasha: He was right…c’mon we’ve got to help these people.

 

Week 35, Day 2

Saint Camillus Hospital: A number of heroes are helping bring in the injured; Obsidian, Dr. Light, Power Girl, Captain Marvel Jr., Guy Garner, John Stewart, Hawkgirl, Geo-Force, Beast Boy, Raven, Metamorpho, Plastic Man, Fire, and John Henry. Plastic Man sees his son Offspring who is on a stretcher. Offspring “saved over twenty of them, Mr. O’Brien. He stretched himself so thin he nearly snapped”.

 

John Henry: It’s what we feared Gar. What Luthor did to me he did to them. He granted them powers and he took them away.

Beast Boy: Why?

John Henry: We’re going to find out. Get the Titans together.

 

Week 35, Day 3

Infinity Inc. Headquarters: Lex has gathered all of the member of Infinity Inc together, except for Everyman, to inform them that they have isolated the errant gene-sequence that caused the problem on New Year’s Eve. He says that “Everyman is…Hannibal was screened this morning. His results were inconclusive. He’s downstairs undergoing further tests…”. Lex then informs the team that they are all clean but there is another problem where because of the tragedy the Everyman Project has lost the publics trust and needs their help in getting it back.

Jake meets up with Natasha later in her room, wearing his costume, and informs her that Hannibal checked out clean and that Luthor wants them to suit up for a press conference. Natasha then confides in Jake that she believes Lex was behind the New Years situation.

 

Natasha: We can’t trust Luthor, Jake. We can’t trust anything he says, anything he does. What happened on New Year’s…I think he’s responsible for it. I think he did it on purpose. Like he did trajectory. Like he can do to the rest of us.

Jake: Natasha you’re scaring me here, you’re scaring me a lot…

Natasha: We have to find proof. We have to get it to my uncle. You’ve got to help me, Jake. There’s nobody else here I can trust.

Jake: Of course I’ll help you. I love you Natasha. I won’t let anything happen to you…

 

Jake hugs Natasha with a picture of Jake, Natasha and Hannibal in the background.

 

 

Week 35, Day 6

Space: The Head, Animal Man, Starfire, Adam Strange, Lobo and Fishy are on the asteroids that are left of the planet Vartu; The planet Lady Styx was destroying when we last saw Captain Comet alive. While Buddy and Starfire are talking about where to start their fight against Lady Styx, Adam goes to join Lobo for a talk.

 

Adam: Lobo. You know we don’t have a prayer out there. Three of us against a war machine with the firepower to flatten whole star systems?

Lobo: It’s suicide fer sure. I’d help ya out Strange, but I gotta get this eye back at th’ triple Fish God an I’ve taken a vow of non-violence…

Adam: Yeah? Tell that to Devilance the Pursuer. Another bounty hunter like you, and he just happens to walk into a trap, leaving you with the spoils?

Fishy: Your holiness, surely not…

Lobo: What are you insinuatin’?

Adam: I mean, what if you brought us all this way to claim that bounty for yourself? Three little people could do a hell of a lot of damage from inside the machine.

Lobo: Heh.

 

Adam and Lobo join back up with Buddy, and Starfire.

Adam: I think Lobo has something to tell us.

Lobo: Lady Styx put a bounty on yer heads, ya know that. So there ain’t no need to figure out how yer gonna fight ‘cause I’m taking ya straight to her.

 

Next in 52: Lady Styx eating something (maybe a heart), Supernova in a lab with Rip Hunter and Lobo’s face.

It looks like

is Supernova but we will probably know for sure next week.

That's what I said early on, but I didn't see anything this week that confirmed that suspicion.

Week 36 recap

 

Week 36, Day 3

Space: A group of Suneaters the remains of star ships and the bodies of two Green Lanterns are floating around the remains of a planet. Lobo and Fishy are escorting Animal Man and Starfire, Starfire is wearing Animal Man’s shirt, to Lady Styx. Lady Styx is eating blood out of a large cauldron when they arrive. Lobo tells the fair lady that he has brought her the prisoners and wants his bounty. Lady Styx, being translated by Fishy, tells Lobo that there is no bounty and “…all she has to give is Death, she says. Please…take your fill”! Lady Styx’s followers start chanting “Believe in her” surround the group. One of the followers slips a band on Kory’s head which takes her out.

 

Buddy: Kory, no! Lobo, it’s all going wrong! We need your help!

Lobo: I brought ya here, I did what ya wanted. But I can’t fight yer battles for ya, Animal Guy…

 

Lady Styx then continues to taunt Lobo by calling him a coward, a sell out and that “the Church of the Triple Fish God is…is subject of M-M-Mockery theuniverse over as a haven for big cowards who like to act tough but never want to prove it! And that’s not all. She says…she says your gods – gulp – a big, fat prancing coward who licks his own!...just…just like you Main Man”!

 

This infuriated Lobo to the point where he says “forgive me” and starts killing those around him. He then runs up the stairs to Lady Styx who ends up slicing Lobo across his stomach and sending him bouncing down the stairs as Lady Styx followers keep chanting “Believe in her”. Buddy then turns to Lady Styx and holds up a picture of his family.

 

Buddy: Over Here! Don’t look towards Earth! Look at me! You wanna know what I believe in? THIS IS WHAT I BELIEVE IN! Adam! A little to your left, man”.

 

Lady Styx turns and looks up and sees Adam Strange flying outside and proceeds to shoot his way in through the glass. Lobo then jumps up and throws the Lady Styx at the Emerald Head. Lady Styx proceeds to hang on to the Head and climbs up to the cockpit where she breaks in and looks face to face with the pilot; He has tan skin and tentacles where his mouth is…think Davy Jones from Pirates 2.

 

Lobo: Today’s lesson…pacifists got a lot of pent up aggression. An’ there’s a reason I waited ‘till th’ Suneaters started their migration.

The Head fires off and flies into a Suneater and explodes. The chanting stops and the Followers slump over and stop moving.

Lobo: Live through bein’ digested! Talk about killin’ two birds with one stone.

Lobo and fishy then turn around to see Adam landing next to Kory who is kneeling down next to Buddy.

Kory: Buddy, stay with us! What’s happening?

Fishy: Necrotoxin…they shot him.

Buddy: It’s okay.

Adam: Buddy! Use your powers!

Buddy: They know how much I loved them. You won’t. Won’t even have t-t-to tell ‘em Kory… Look…can you see? They’re ch-cheering us on…I toldja…toldja the universe…gnnn…likes me…Kory!...Kory…promise you won’t let me come back as a zombie…

And then Buddy dies.

 

San Diego, Earth: Ellen Baker is pacing laundry on the line, stops turns, and starts to cry. The Baker kids come out side and see her “Mom?

 

Week 36, Day 5

St. Luke’s Hospital – Gotham City: Charlie is still alive and on morphine. Renee receives a package from Tot which contains flowers from Nanda Parbat that have healing powers, except they have turned to dust as “outside of Nanda Padbat their days are numbered.

 

Week 36, Day 6

Gotham City: Charlie is on a stretcher getting loaded on a plane as Renee is going to take Charlie back to Nanda Parbat to try and save his life.

 

Kahndaq: Osiris is looking at a newspaper showing him killing Persuader when Sobek enters the room. Osiris tells Sobek that the Titans say they will have to arrest him if he comes back to the Tower and that Black Adam believes it was a set up like what was done to Wonder Woman. Osiris says that no matter what they do, the world will always hate us. Sobek hands Osiris an apple and tells him “I don’t hate you”.

 

Week 36, Day 7

Rip Hunter’s Hideout: A futuristic city is shown and moves in on Rip who is working with Lex’s Gauntlet with a Starman staff by him.

Rip: BROKEN! IS TIME! Find can’t the right power source for Chronsphere the!

Supernova: I’ve brought everything you’ve asked for…the staffs of the Starmen, Luthor’s Kryptonite Gauntlet, Shadow Thief’s Dimensiometer and more. Can’t you make something out of them?

Rip: S’Gnihton working! And he throws Lex’s Gauntlet.

Supernova: Rip calm down! It’s tough enough understanding you when you’re Linear!

Rip: You’re thgir. I apo..lo…lo…ggggize. But we. Can’t fffight. Him te. What if. He sdnif—finds us. Before we’re rrrready?

Supernova: You’re Rip Hunter. You’re the Time Master. I won’t worry about deadlines if you can stay focused. I realize Skeets has been searching for you. He knows you need access to this level of technology, but we’re in the last place he’d think to look—if he even knows it exists. For now we are safe.

 

The panels pull back to show that Rip and Supernova are inside the Bottle City of Kandor…and Skeets is floating right outside.

Ray Palmer wouldn't be able to do all the other stuff Supernova can do, necessarily.

 

They've only thrown out about a dozen red herrings since this story started.

 

"52" is turning out to be perhaps one of my favorite series of all time. DC should consider doing a monthly anthology book that follows minor heroes similar to this when the series ends. They could call it "12".

So World War 3 is part of "52"? Funny how if it was something that already happened before OYL, nobody mentioned it until the new JSA #1.

Does anyone else think that the cover to the JSA issue with Sandman by Alex Ross has some elements of Dr. Fate on it? The only reason I say that is because the mask and the gloves seem to be gold, just like Fate's mask.

Man, DC has been kicking out the stops.

However... as good as it's een, I really don't see the need to kill off so many minor fan-favorites.

 

Kord dying pissed me off, but it was done effectively, importantly, and was a sort of nice swan-song for Kord.

 

Booster and Buddy dying? Much less so. I do think Booster's going to come back at the end of 52.

 

There's so many more longstancding C-list superheroes to ax though. Starfire? Sucks. Always been an atrocious character design too. Adam Strange? Sucks. Lobo? Well I've always thought of him as a stupid joke character, but his involvement in 52 has been really stupid.

 

Make mine Nextwave, Invincible, etc.

 

My favorite exhange ever: (and machine man reminds me of Animal Man a lot)

 

Aaron Stack, you who are called Machine Man. You have travelled with us for three hundred sixty cycles by your reckoning of time.

There is something we have to tell you.

 

You are total shit.

 

What?

 

No, really. You're shit.

You know, I didn't think I'd like that choice.

 

But after reading through some of the IC Mini-Series, particularly the ones that this person was involved in, they really, really deserved something like this. Odd how a re-reading can change one's perspective.

 

Could you link the spoiler thread or post or whatever? I'm kinda interested...

Kord died as the one person who picked up on the biggest conspiracy in the DCU, and when confronted with something that he couldn't possibly take on, he never surrendered. I always thought it was a great end for him. I especially loved it when Max said "Beetle, you were never second-string."

 

Plus, the new Blue Beetle is pretty cool. They are really incorporating a lot of the weirder parts of the DCU into it. And at no extra cost, the original Peacemaker returns. Rock.

 

Same with Conner. He died as one of the greatest heroes ever after doubting if he was even a hero or not. If anything, I want him to stay dead no matter what. He died a death more spectacular than even Barry Allen, and that takes some doing.

Whoa. Whoa whoa whoa.

 

There are a lot of big big HUGE developments this week. A proverbial homerun.

 

I haven't read the spoilers myself

 

but Geoff Johns mentioned awhile back that beginning with issue 37 it is just a mad dash to the finish.

 

I guess he wasn't kidding.
