mazingman728's 52 SPOILERS


Week 23, Day 1
Oolong Island: It would appear that Dr. Magnus was captured at the end of last issue as this issue starts off with him in the head unit of a giant robot being piloted by an Ape-Man and a Crocodile-Man***maybe an Alligator-Man as we can’t see his nose to make sure…but definitely a lizard***. The top section is lowered to the ground where Dr. Magnus is welcomed by Dr. Morrow. All of the missing mad scientists have been gathered and are on the island. One has created a giant robot cricket, the Cricketron, which goes out of control which gets blasted by the islands defenses and then stepped on by the giant robot that brought Dr. Magnus to the island. The people that the scientists are working for have “a very long reach”. Dr. Morrow is asked to join them “in creating the future. And before you ask, No you really don’t have a choice”. ***Mad scientists on an island with an unlimited budget…it’s more fun than a barrel of monkeys. And if you look closely you will see that the beach umbrellas are from Penguin Umbrellas.

Week 23, Day 5
Yemen: Whisper A’Daire is performing a ceremony where children are chained to the alter. Renee and Question are looking on from a hidden walkway above the room. Isis’s brother is then dragged into the room where a wolf-man creature starts to beat him up and is joined by others in attendance and is then dragged away. Renee and Question are then found by a big red creature which Renee blows a hole in with her special gun and the two end up falling to the floor below. While Renee is shooting the creatures in the room, Question grabs the book that Whisper was using.
Black Adam and Isis then arrive as they crash through the ceiling; Isis heals Renee from a wound she receives across her stomach. Renee tells Black Adam and Isis where Amon has been taken. The two bust into the lab where Amon has been taken and Isis attempts to heal Amon’s injuries with her powers but is unable to fully heal him to due to the damage his body has taken; he has had too much damage to his nerves so he will not be able to walk again. Black Adam then threatens to kill the creatures in the lab for what they had done to Amon but Isis won’t have it and blows the creatures out of the lab. Black Adam lays his left hand on Amon’s chest and asks him to say his name. With a flash of lightning Anon is cured and in a costume that is a gold lightning bolt from his shoulders down to his stomach and the rest in black and now calls himself Osiris.

Week 23, Day 6
Kahndaq: Black Adam tells Isis that he is able to share his power just as Captain Marvel is able to share his powers with Freddy Freeman. Isis kisses Black Adam and tells him”…I promised you when we found my brother that I would help you change the world. And I know where to start. Osiris come join us. We are going to China”.

Next in 52 shows a figure in a red cape, it kind of looks like Martian Manhunter, looking at a mural of dead Justice League members. On the cover - and I don’t know if it is from coloring or a clue - in the “5” appears to be a skull looking down at the hieroglyph of the man hieroglyph and under the “N” in the word twenty-three appears to be a hieroglyph of a female character. The ticker on the bottom of the cover reads “The Island of Dr. Morrow…Renee Montoya-Is SHE the Answer?” And yes, the “she” is in capitol letters which makes it standout.

Origin this issue is Wildcat by Mark Wade and Jerry Ordway.

And now, Introducing:

Wrong. According to Trials of Shazam #2, Freddy will be known as "Shazam" if he completes the trials. Don't know what Billy will be called. I guess DC is sick of propagating the "Captain Marvel" monicker when they can (most likely) never use it as a trademark.

Billy will simply be known as "Marvel."

so does this go back to what was said about the question... him keeping her around for something that came from the beginning of the whole case, rather then just now... what is SHE the answer to?
oh... and id guess by the way Isis has continued to act, she betraying Black Adam, and merely had all those bad guys whisked away,r ather then Black Adam harming them.. a perfect getaway... i figure by the end of 52... Black Adam will have to kill ISis and Osiris (maybe), and his country will be destroyed in the process probably by him in rage, and we will truely (quoting) "weep for Black Adam by the end of 52"

Yup. He was slated for #24 some time ago.

Like that upcoming mural (I think it's more of a collection of statues). From the obvious - Barry, Ted, Ice, Red Tornado (who won't be staying that way long) - to the not so - Amazing Man, Aztek, Tomorrow Woman...

Wasn't "Osiris" mentioned as a member of the Teen Titans during the 'lost year'?

Yeah, the picture of Osiris even showed him in a mini-Black Adam like costume. So we should have known he was coming....

Question rocks. "I want to see if it's contagious."

And I want to visit that island.

And I want to visit that island.Finally! Someone see's what is important about this issue!

That's just freaking awesome. The Question is officially one of my favorite superheroes. And an island filled with evil geniuses? I love it. Suddenly, I don't feel so bad about Magnus or Morrow.

Renee Montoya as the Answer? Awesome.

Even though I knew it was coming thanks to TT, the Osiris scene was goddamn awesome. I love how he's Black Adam Jr. Makes perfect sense.

Phil Jimenez is scheduled to do 24 and part of the issue after that. Can't wait.

I kept on getting Watchmen flashbacks during the 'island full of geniuses' bit.

So the Question is teamed-up with the Answer.

Someone is enjoying their word play.

I have one question about the Wildcat origin. The last panel shows GL and Flash on the left and Power Girl and Wildcat on the right. But who is that supposed to be in the middle? Is it The Atom? Isn't he dead? Is he now back? Or am I just forgetting something about recent JSA issues?

Am I right in thinking Oolong Island is the island where Wonder Woman first fought Egg Fu? And that The Metal Men once fought an Egg Fu lookalike called Dr Yes?

It could be Obsidian, Starman or Damage. Hard to tell from that picture.

Question teamed up with someone that gets named The Answer? Wow, what amazing word play!

Or, wait, no, that's going for the obvious.

FEH.

Question teamed up with Marco was fun word play. Most people never even got the joke, becuase it was just a name.

And Vic is so incredibly cool and fun that he may as well be walking around with a "kill me so Renee can be inspired by my death" sign on his back. T_T

I really love how they're handling the Question. Not quite as good as the sardonic conspiracy nut from JLU, but still, extremely awesome.

Probably Atom Smasher or Damage (in his new duds from the upcoming JSA relaunch).

And yes, Question does indeed rock.

Bring on the Q&A ongoing!

So I figure that Morrow is behind a lot of this, and has been orchestrating it from his cell somehow. I also figure this leads into some kind of Time Wars thing with Skeets.

Also, anyone see the solicit that says one of the Space People dies? I'm not feeling good about Buddy...

Baby Marvel existed for one story during the Fawcett days. Non-powered, but red and gold diapers!

Oolong Isle smells a bit like the Villiage from The Prisoner, but then of course I'd think that. Or would I? It's a shame that Dr. Magnus is un-mutual.

Actually Oolong Isle appears to be from an old DC story from the Silver Age. I'll have to check, but I think it was revealed in the latest 52 interview at Newsarama.

I loved how.... I dunno golden age it felt, how silly the island was..... little atomic and green skull explosions, cricketrons and headles robot children!

PS: did anybody else notice how Morrow pushed that girl of the pile of books ? :D

I really enjoyed this particular issue. The kidnapped scientist plotline took a turn for the bizarre on Oolong Island, and DC introduces us to another new hero. I'm interested to read about the relationship between the marvels under Billy, and the new marvels under Adam. As usual, this series delivers the goods. Bring on some more Super Chief and Ralph Dibny!

Only for Renee to get a t-shirt saying, "The Question died and all i got was this lousy shirt"
