Firstly, if you guys read my reviews, you can go back to my review for volume one of 52 for a sort of overview of my thoughts of the concept of this series.
This volume lost a little of the steam that I felt volume one had going for it. Some of the stories we read from the first one begin to intertwine, some drop off, and new ones begin in this chapter of what is a year-long examination of a DCU bereft of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.
There are still a lot of appearances of awesome characters from the DCU that we don't often get to see. I myself was excited to see characters like Firestorm, Martian Manhunter, and the Black Marvel family. The Dad's lesser characters such as these hold a certain fascination for me for some reason.
This was still a great, fun book to read with myriad characters being written by the best scribes in the business and brought to life by a multitude of amazing artists but, in my opinion, the first volume was better. Let's see what happens in volume three.
